"Such tragedies (hangings), wrote the governor, "when required by law, should be carried out with decorum and decency, and in the presence of as few witnesses as possible, to wit; The jury physicians, clergymen and the necessary deputy sheriff. Sheriff White, it was reported answered that the number of people who would witness the execution next Saturday would be about two hundred. However, his reply was so evasive that Governor Dunne declared it "no assurance" and ordered a delay until November 19. Give Us Justice. It has been stated through the press that Sheriff White had over 2000 men in the inclose where the hanging took place and he has never denied it in any of his messages to the governor in relation to the matter. So we take it for granted that it is a fact. If that is not a public hanging, what would Mr. White term it? The law says, "a few witnesses and the necessary deputy sheriff sheriff', shall be present. He said in answer to the governor he would have about 200 deputies in this hanging, which shows the prejudice he has against the negro race. The citizens of Jackson county demanded quick justice. Deberry who was hung, was indicted, tried convicted and sentenced by the trial judge in six hours, and only given about 60 days to prepare for death, and yet that did not satisfy Sheriff White. Following he wanted to give the public an opportunity to give vent to their mob-law feeling. UNIVERSITY OF ILINOIS LIBRARY NOV 1 1915 GOV. DUNNE REPRIE-VES ELSTON SCOT FROM HANGING AT MURPHY-BORO. TO PREVENT SHERIFF WHITE'S REPITITION OF JOE DEBERRY'S PUBLIC HANGING. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SHOULD BE SUSTAINED FOR HIS HUMANE ACT IN CARRYING OUT THE LAW. Sheriff White did not hang a negro at Murphy'sboro Friday. Refused assurance that the hanging of Ellston Scott, colored, would not be a repitition of the Deberry "scandal and disgrace" of last Saturday, Governor Dunne granted Scott a repive to November 19. This action was resorted to only after Sheriff Jamis A White, of Murphysboro had failed to give a tisfactory answer to Governor Dunne's telegram which was as follows: "You have not answered my inquiry. How many people have you invited or deputized to be present at the execution next Friday? "Please answer definitely today how many have been or will be invited or deputized." This wire sent this morning following one sent yesterday morning in which the governor named Mr. White is a leading republican and was elected sheriff by the negro vote of Jackson county we are informed. He therefore owes his election to them and should not do anything to increase the prejudices against the colored citizens and race Gov Dunne is a democrat in politics, but his recent act in this case shows that he is in favor of a square deal and Justice for all We have no sympathy for the murderer Joe Deberry and believe he should have been hung, but don't think his execution should have been a public exhibition. —Springfield Leader NOTICE The Institute and Executive Board of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association will convene with the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church Golconda, Illinois, on Thursday before the 2nd Sunday in November 1915. All members and constituents are invited and specially requested to be present.

This letter is given out in the columns of this paper to remind you of the important work before us. I have mailed a number of letters to the different circles that were mailed to me by the president Sister Bettie Wilkerson, of Mt. Vernon, Ill., who is very anxious to see the work advance Let us see to it that after the meeting of the General State Ass'n which meet with the Sparta Baptist church, on Tuesday before the 2nd Sunday in May '16 that it out all meetings of the women than has ever been held, Our President has suggested that each and every sister secure a little sack or pouch and contribute to that from time to time so as to make the sum of $100 by the Ass'n time and in this way we can easily reach the $700 00 mark. Dear Sisters, let us think not to say, what will be done with the money, but let us pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of all that everyone may contribute liberally to his cause. We have in mind the long talked Old Ministers Home. We had a very pleasant meeting with the 2nd Baptist church Centralia, last May, the meeting closed with a bright prospect for our 1916 session. It to be regretted that we have not been able to send the minutes of the Ass'n to the churches before now. The fault is not on the part of the corresponding sec'y, we have had our manuscript ready for the press for quite awhile. We have been informed by the chairman of the printing committee, Eld. C. C. Phillips, that the recording sec'y D. P. Jones, of Chicago, has not sent the manuscript to the corresponding sec'y W. P. Washington, of Mt. Vernon. Our work was done long before the expiration of the 40 days that was given the committee. It is true the churches and the circles are due the minutes, but dear sisters let us not be a hearer let us rise and be doing. Mrs. Bettie Wilkerson, President. Mrs. D. H. Hamilton, Cor. Secretary.

They worked about six weeks and left claiming he refused or failed to pay them. They came to Benton to see if there was any way to compel settlement and went back to Commerce after finding there was no way except thru the usual legal channels. Bill Thompson was the leader and went to the camp to see Dodson but failed to get any money. He returned to Commerce, Thursday Dodson, wife and daughter went to Cairo. The negroes got the idea he was gone after money to pay them Thompson waited the arrival of the Dodsons and when they came up the river bank said something regarding the matter. Dodson had a pump gun and just as he passed the negro seized the barrel and undertook to wrest it from the white man's grasp, jerked him down and got the weapon, hitting at Dodson but missing and the gun struck a railroad tie. The levee man pulled a colt's pistol and fired two shots. The first penetrated the left breast and the other passing thru the stomach. Thompson walked down the river bank and laid down. Ed Johnson and Dr. Roy Frazer went to him. The negro was conscious gave some instructious as to the address of relatives and in a few minutes—not over ten—after the difficulty began was dead. Dodson was not aware his antagonist was fatally hurt and was looking for a shot gun, being thus engaged when told Thompson was dead.

WHY HE DISCARDED FUR CAP Veteran Gamekeeper Abandoned Expensive Headgear Because It Interfered With His Hearing. A Brockville man, who has a home in Scotland to which he returns in the winter, bought an expensive fur cap in this country to give to his gamekeeper. Two years ago last winter he took it over and presented it to the old man who was delighted with it. The cap was very serviceable, having flaps that came down over the ears, and would wear about a lifetime. The next winter the American returned to Scotland and noticed to his surprise that the old man did not wear the fur cap. "What is the matter with the cap I gave you last winter?" he asked. "I haven't worn it since the accident." replied the gamekeeper. The man from Brockville pondered. "You didn't write me concerning any accident, he said. "No?" mused the gamekeeper. "A mon offered me a glass of whiskey and I didn't hear him.'—Everybody's Magazine. Difficult. The adjutant was lecturing to the subalterns of the battalion.

"I hope," said the earnest citizen, "that you will be careful not to rock the boat." "Rock the boat!" echoed the reckless person. "I'd never think of such trifling.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One thing that appealed most to me was a little cottage set off in the corner of the grounds—the center of several acres, surrounded by garden, orchard, poultry barn, barn and pig pen, a home of the humble type, just such a home as work will give to any thrifty Negro; or white man, who wants to live, to make a home, relates a visitor to the Tuskegee institute. This is where every girl in the school has to spend a week during the term. She is given a small amount of cash—40 cents a day, and she has to manipulate with the others living with her during the period, having each an equal amount of change. So as to make a comfortable home for themselves, here is their real lesson in household duties, with a teacher to direct. The house consists of two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, pantry, bath, front and back porches. The furniture made by the beginners in woodwork, indicating that anybody can make some furniture without much effort, at least with so much wood around have a bed, chairs, tables and a few benches. The windows are draped with cheesecloth, cross-stitched by the girls; the portieres are made from croaker sacks or other rough material, dyed by pupils; settees are made the same way; rugs, home made; the students are taught here the care of beds, of closets, of woodfecting, dish washing, cooktable and all duties perhousekeeping; they work gather and prepare the vegetables, care for chickens and the stock, even learn the care of garbage. Connected with the home is a flower garden and a playground. Do our mountain people, do our rural schools have such a chance in life? Why not? I did not go there to find out what the northern capitalists were doing to educate the Negro. I had been told all of this. I knew what money would do. I went there to find out what Booker T. Washington and his wife were doing for the Negro and how the Negro was making use of the opportunity. I did not leave the grounds from the minute I drove in the Lincoln gate until I left for the depot. I ate and slept there in a home reserved by the school for white friends. I was treated with the same courtesy and attention as I have been accustomed to by the Negroes all of my life, and I profited by the experience and enjoyed every minute of my time. Booker Washington was not there, but his wife was. She had done as much for the uplift of her race as he has. He has financed and planned and she has executed much of the details. She was born in Macon, Miss., educated at Nashville and taught in this institution before she married. She is a very intelligent, industrious woman, with a strong purpose, and she is working the details of this problem of the poor and helpless among her people. She hopes to see the day when every Negro is trained to give the best of his sense and energy, when he is certain that work is the only way to attain a great end. She has a handsome home and she keeps it well. She loves the South and speaks with gratitude of her friends in the North. This training and environment will in time give to the white people of the South the competent service that was theirs in part; intelligent work is needed in every office. This is a work for the people of both races, as I saw it on my visit. The movement of southern Negroes toward farm ownership has been one of the marked developments of the past decade. Nevertheless, even with a general knowledge of this movement, it is a surprise to learn that one-fourth of all the Negro farmers of the South own the farms they cultivate, and that their total value is $500,000,000. These are the figures offered by Dr. E. C. Branson of the University of North Carolina, who is one of a committee charged with the expenditure of $3,500,000 for the betterment of the Negro. He reports that the colored man is solving his own problem, and is solving it in terms of industry and soil ownership. Negro population in the South is dwindling, says Doctor Branson, except in the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma, but it is increasing in the cities and decreasing in the country. The Negroes are rapidly changing from tenants to farm owners—Boston Transcript. Talk about the intelligence of the people is discounted by the fact that a great many of them believe in mad-stones.—Exchange. The Texas sweet potato crop will amount to 10,000,000 bushels this year. But residents of that expansive state are merely irritated by such diminutiveness. They say the figure should be ten times larger.

Ore found in the Yellow Pine mining district of Nevada contains rich platinum deposits. Illinois day exercises brought the Lincoln Jubilee and Negro Emancipation Semi-Centennial exposition to a close at Chicago. During the four weeks the show has been in progress at the Coliseum 100,000 persons have passed through the doors. Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson, representing Governor Dunne, was the chief speaker. During the afternoon of the closing day the commission in charge of the exposition held a conference with Thomas W. Swann, the Negro deposed as secretary two weeks previous. Swann and his attorney wrestled with the problem of straightening out his books and accounting for money handled by him. It developed that John V. Clinnon, the attorney originally employed by Swann, had given up the case. It became known that new bills contracted by Swann without the knowledge of members of the commission had been presented for payment. Total gate receipts during the four weeks of the exposition amounted to about $13,000. The most profitable day was Wednesday, when Mayor Thompson was the speaker. The amount taken in that day was $1,370, representing 5,480 paid admissions at 25 cents each. The cost of the exposition will total approximately $75,000. Of this amount $50,000 was appropriated by the legislature, and the additional amount, exclusive of gate receipts, raised by popular subscription. Our good brother, President Lettwich, who is doing a unique work of phenomenal proportions among the Indians and Negroes of Oklahoma, was at the Hammond congress. He spoke briefly at both auditoriums, and was received with enthusiastic applause. No one who hears this humble hero for a moment doubts the feasibility of his stupendous undertaking, or his resourcefulness in carrying it through. Friends who heard him voluntarily contributed $205 of the amount needed to complete his buildings. It is Brother Leftwich's hope that he may be able to extend the helping hand to thousands of young men and women of the Creek Indian and Negro races. President Leftwich is himself an ardent segregationist, and is at work on the problem of lifting up these needy races in a sensible way. His program is similar to that of Booker T. Washington, and so good a judge as P. H. Welshimer declares that he is not second to that great leader in fervor, good rense or eloquence. President Leftwich needs $200 or $300 to complete his buildings—$500 would enable him to start in fine shape. The students are there ready for work, and the teachers available.

The survey of the results of half a century of Negro emancipation in the United States, presented in connection with the convention in Boston of the National Negro Business league, contains impressive statistics. The progress has been especially marked in the last fifteen years, as is shown by an advance from 20,000 Negro business enterprises in 1900 to 45,000, from two banks to 51, from 149 wholesale establishments to 240, from 10,000 retail concerns to 25,000. In the shorter period of ten years the value of farm property owned by Negroes has advanced from $177,404,688 to $492,592,218.

EDITOR HAD AN IDEA Something Happened Which Was Worth Ten Such Thoughts as Had Come to the Scribe—So This Particular Gem Was Lost. One day the Observer had an idea. It is a rare experience, and the obvious thing to do was to get it down on paper just as quickly as the speed limit on his old typewriter allows. He grabbed a sheet of paper, rammed it into the typewriter, and started reaching for the first letter when the office door opened and a lady came in. The lady, whose home is near Milford, extended a piece of paper and some money, with the remark that it was a subscription bill, somewhat overdue, which she had come in to pay. Glancing at the paper the Observer had a shock which drove that incipient idea into the remotest corner of his belfry, where it seems to be lost forever. He is absolutely unable to remember what that great thought was about, what stirring gleam of sense was about to be born and given to the world. This is his excuse: The bill which was extended for payment was dated May, 1894. The explanation was that an old trunk in the attic was wanted for use, and in cleaning it out, among a lot of old receipts and papers, they had discovered this old bill. The system of filing bills and receipts was such as to make these honest people quite sure that the bill had not been paid. The lady was assured that if there was any record of the account, now 21 years old, it was in the cobweb-encrusted old books in the garret, that the account was outlawed anyway, and that very likely a duplicate of the bill had been paid 20 years ago. She was obdurate. She had come to pay that bill and get a receipt. An offer to receipt it for half the amount was not satisfactory. It was her rule, and her husband's, to pay in full for everything, and she had traveled several miles to settle an account old enough to be a legal voter. She paid and took her receipt, and if she did not then and there create a world's record for deferred payment she made one which is oldom equated. As stated, the bill was paid but the "idea" was gone. However, the idea was probably worth about twenty cents, which is one-tenth the amount of the bill, so if anybody else can dig up any antique accounts and pay them they are welcome to drive out, shoo away, slaughter and swat any and all budding notions, at any time, any place, day or night—Milford Cabinet. EASY TO HAVE PURE WATER Simple Filter That May Be Constructed Wherever Campers Are on Banks of a Stream. A simple filter and cooler that anyone the least ingenious can prepare is described in detail in the Journal of the American Medical Association. With it pure water may be obtained from any stream of water. A large pail with a stout handle is the best receptacle for the water. A hole is punched in the bottom and over it a tin box is soldered. The floor of the tin box—one of the kind in which A candy is packed may be used—is perforated with holes and a spring is attached to the cover and the bottom of the box. The spring is inclosed in a tube made by rolling up a sheet of tin, obtained, with solder, from tin cans. A chain is attached to the wattertight cover of the box and the box is filled with alternate layers of charcoal and well-packed cotton. Suspended in the stream, the pail soon fills up with the filtered water. Then, by loosening the chain, the spring cover drops back watertight on the box, and the whole pall, full of filtered water, is ready to be carried off for use. Their Long Kid Gloves. Some ingenious women in Ireland have found a use for their discarded long white or colored kid gloves.

Ho had set the suit- ease down and mopped off his fore- head. “I wish we were honeymooning this month Instead of last month, girl.” Florence had nodded her head tn deop sympathy. Ever since the wed- ding they had wandered from note} to “hotel along the east shore, hunting a ‘restful, dreamy spot of sweethearting ‘solitude, ‘This day they had been on their way to Shepherd's Landing. Flor- ence had found tt on a guide map for summer tourists, and she liked the “pine grove behind the hotel. It looked shadowy and propitious. Yet midway ‘along the little sleepy railroad line, the train had switched out around # headland of tumbled browntsh-green ‘rock, and suddenly Wrecker’s Cove ‘lay ‘revealed, a curve of sand #0 “smooth and white it looked like creamy -ailic outepread tn the sunlight. | “Here wo light,” said Flo, joyously. “1 hope there's a hotel.” ‘There was, but it was not pleasing. It was a one-story edifice with » bar- room and a long dining room with pink "mosquito netting over the long tables. _ “Are there cottages to let?” Drake “had asked the proprietor, He was also local station agent, and express agent, and ran the livery stable. “Not that I ever heard of. Have yor been upto the Tamerlin cottage? But still, I doubt if he'd let it with all them things tn tt.” “LT haven’t heard of it. You point the way, and I'll find it.” ‘They went out to where Flo waited anxiously. The hotelkeoper pointed out a sort of bird “house that seemed to hang to the side of the brownish-green headland. “There ‘tis,” be said. “It ain't nuth- fn’ to look at.

It waa joy, that house, The walls were of soa sand, ‘with oak beams. The great fireplace called out & welcome to them. There was a crane in ft, and « big black ket- tle bung on ft, waiting for a friendly hand. “I don't see why Mr. Tamerlin fixed thts all up so adorably just for a bachelor’s shack,” said Flo, suspicious- Jy, after a few days’ residence. “Drake, it's the dearest little place, and I've ‘found shirtwaist boxes tucked away with Inen, sheets and pillow cases, and everything.” “Whore did Mr. Tamerlin say he was going?” Flo went on absently. “He didn't say, 1 saw him sitting on @ Jone rock in the offing yesterday morning the other side of the boat ‘landing.

He would get hold of the boy and shake bim up a bit, show him the whole world did not ring down the drop curtain just be- cause Dan Cupid sulked, and wouldn't play. Twice he tackled the proposition of better acquaintance with Tamerlin, and twice ho was rebuffed. His land- lord did not fish, Ho did not care for Doating.

Mr. Hickson said so when he brought up the mail.” “Did het” Drake's brain worked slowly at deduction, “Shall I go and find out?” : “Oh, of course, goose!” Flo pushed ‘him out the back door as the knock | sounded on the front screen door, She was striking looking, Flo de- cided instantly, tall, gray-eyed, with chestnut nair in close, crinkly braids bound about her head, and escaping curls. But she looked tired, und Fio wag tender hearted. “This 1s Mr. Tamerlin's house, I was told?” “Yes, won't you come in?” Flo put on her nicest welcoming smile. Her visitor entered, and deliberately sooked about the living room, “He has made it all very homelike for you, hasn't he?” She sank into one of the hickory chairs, and removed her hat, leaning her head back on the brown cushion. “1 love it," said Flo impulsively. “It's the happiest summer we've ever spent. It’s @n ideal place for a honey- moon.” | “How long since—since you came here?” _ “About two weeks! But we shall Stay here until fall.” She looked Flo Over curiously, With little hard lines bout her mouth as though she want- ed to cry. “Do you really love him in 40 short a time?” “Love him? Drake?” ‘They both rose, facing each other Mike two little Jealous tigresses. “Are you talking of my husband?” demanded Flo, baughtily, as haughtlly as sho could from five foot two. “I am speaking of tho man who, by all laws of love and good faith should be my husband,” retorted the stranger. Flo realized as she put back her long white veil that she was very young too, and just at this instant her face was colorless, “This whole house was built for me, for my honeymoon, do you hear? I only returned from British Columbia yesterday and found that Billie Tam- erlin had broken his word to me and Ihave come for my things.” “Your things—” Flo tried to explain as light broke on her. “You needn't try to claim them too, at ail. I sont them down the day be- fore we were to be married, two trunks and my books and a lot of things from my room at college. It was all arranged and had been for ‘weeks, weeks, do you heart” She was clenching the edge of the little oak table until her white kid gloves parted at the seams. “My brother and father didn’t like Billie, and I was going to run away with him, and—and then » letter came from the West from dad, ‘and he was horribly ill, and so of course I went to him. I left word for Bilite, and find he never recetyed the letter, I was frightened, and in haste to catch the first train West, and left the letter on my bureau. Oh, it {9 all such a terrible mixup, and I hate the sight of you, whoever you are.” Flo stood amazed at the reckless heartbroken flood of words. Outside on the veranda there came the sound of masculine footfalls, and she turned ‘with relief as Tamerlin and Drake, her own blessed, honeymooning Drake, en- tered the room. ‘Tamerlin never stopped for conven tionalities, With two steps he reached the side of the stranger, and took her into Lis embrace right before his ten- ants. It did Flo good to see him grip her firmly, masterfully, and plant kiss after kiss in the proper spirit on her ps. “We'll step outside for a few min- utes,” Drake began tactfully, bit Tam- erlin stopped him. a “Don't, Edgerly. want You to meet Miss Creston. Sho will be Mrs. Tamer- lin just as goon as I can dig up the gentleman who ties love knots around here with swiftness and dexterity.” “I thought you had grown tired walt- ing, Billie,” came a Uttle mufed tone from the head on his shoulder, Flo and Drake stared out the door at the gleaining quicksilver of the sea at high noon far below them. “I thought she was your wife,” “Where would I have found a wife in six weeks? Didn't Ihang around and munch my heart waiting for some word from you? I thought you had gone away for good, of cotirse, and rented the shack when the chanco turned up, Bdgerly, will you sublet this place back to mez” “Just looking up the next train on to Shepherd’s Landing,” responded Drake, with a cheerful émile of re- nunelation: 25 (Copyright, by MeClure Newspaper Syn- A Street Brawl: “Lay off me!

Sec'y Dewmaine, It is wonderfully strange indeed how differently different minds will reason and conclude from the same promises. So it was with different brethern as to the construction of the Federal charter, that was gotten out by seven brethren without the knowledge or consent of the national baptist convention. It will be remembered that the contention was that the publishing house at Nashville Tenn., was being witheld from the denomination by the one man (Dr. R. H. Boyd.) But when the convention met in Chicago Sept. 1915. It decided by their vote that the chartered convention was no part of the National Baptist convention of America. They therefore went on doing business at the same old stand; thus you see expresident Morris shifts his position and reasons no longer upon the one man's power. But he calls the convention that he has helped to make it just what he has helped to build up. He calls it "a rump convention," and says this rump convention has possession of your property. Mark you he doesn't say Dr. Boyd, they have changed their quarters and are now taking a different stand all together. It must be said that Dr. Morris has been a great man, but no man remains great forevermore. It might be that if we clamied a $10,000 debt on the convention any of us might reason from expresident Morris view point. It is said that there is nothing that bribes the judgement so read- The only way to get the genuine New Home Sewing Machine is to buy the machine with the name NEW HOME on the arm and in the legs. This machine is warranted for all time. No other like it No other as good The New Home Sewing Machine Company, ORANGE, MASS. For Sale by W. P. Baynes, Metropolis, Ill. ily as love or money. So Dr. Morris must be given much credit for the mighty work he has done for the Baptist of America, and much care should be taken to see that he and his minions will not destroy the work of the greatest negro publishing house in the world. Dr. Morris has served notice through out the country in the columns of many papers advising the Baptist of America to order their literature elsewhere. The Mt. Olive, East Mt.
