METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE RACE TROUBLE IN N.J. Is the State Convention Sincere With Reference to the Livingston Site in Metropolis? By Dr. C. C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill. Editor McClary: We have an hour and twenty minutes wait here, so we have concluded to spend the time in penning a few lines to the Baptists in this district, and elsewhere, that they may be informed as to the real status of things as they must be the judges "Mark you," we have not said Baptist State convention, we left the word Ba ti-t-out on purpose, because they are not Baptists in the true sense. No organization purpoting to be Baptist will recognize churches he being regular that are over-run with all sorts of faith, doctrine and practices. It is to be hoped that Dr. L K. Williams, of Chicago, the newly elected president, will use his influence to cleanse it with the help of the sound Baptists in the organization. He can put the "Milk and Cider" gang out where they justly belong. To declare themselves for the old time faith and keep the unsound gang within their ranks, does not cleanse the organization. However this is not the things that we are so much concerned about, but we are concerned about the Livingston School proposition that they appear to have so much interest in it appears that for the last two years, they have "hood-winked" a certain brother by telling him that they are ready to take over and run the Livingston school if he would find out the real status of things. It will be remembered that this same convention some few years ago went on record to support the school financially, and in the Convention at Carbondale, One Hundred dollars in cash was laid on the table. The writer gave six dollars, Dr J F. Thomas, Chicago, ten dollars, and a number of the brethren gave from one to three dollars. This school money has gone unaccounted for but on the other hand they seek to fool the people by telling them they stand ready to take over the school when they can have additional information. We want information as to what has gone with the hundred dollars school money. Another thing is worthy of attention, and that is, they have claimed all the while that there are too many State organizations and that Baptist ought to get together, and in the face of those facts they organized a State S. S. convention. It would, have been the part of wisdom to have staid the organization for a while until at least the people could learn of their sincerity, such as they are giving us is much like that of fox, and the generosity of a wolf. More to follow, things that the Baptists ought to know.

Unidentified boy, attacked on a bicycle. As was stabbed, shot more than a dozen times and died after the police rescued him from a burning stake. Kerosene had been poured on his clothes. Wm. Moore, shot by rioter. Whites Attack Hospital. A patrol wagon crashed into an automobile filled with men and a fight followed that caused the probable fatal injury of three men and the wounding of several others. The wounded were taken to Provident Hospital, a Colored institution and a crowd of whites attacked the building, causing considerable damage. The hospital was caring for about 70 patients, a score of them being victims of riots. The patients were thrown into a serious condition. The total injured to date, so far as can be ascertained, reaches past 1200. The majority are white. During Tuesday night more than a dozen policemen were reported as having been shot. When a man has lived in a city for more than 40 years and belonged to one association for 40 years, worked his way from the ground to the topmost round of the ladder, that too, with a great weight of opposition and prejudice hanging to him, such as was demonstrated recently and yet have life long neighbors and those who have known him longest will speak out in no uncertain sound for him as is being done for Moderator McCrary, he has nothing to fear from those "skip jacks," and "Muck rakers." They are the ones spoken of by the Apostle Jude. "Clouds without water."

NEW YORK, July 31.—National and suffrage laws, which will have an important bearing on conditions in the South, will have to be enacted as soon as the states ratify the woman suffrage amendment. Representative Seigel, New York, told the House today. The enforcement legislation for suffrage must be drawn along the same lines as the prohibition enforcement legislation, he said. Seigel warned the Southern members of the House, who have been advocating prohibition, that if Congress passed the prohibition enforcement bill giving the Federal government control to enforce prohibition in the states, it will also clearly have to pass laws making it certain that all Negroes in the Southern States can vote A.

McCrary, our worthy Moderator and I know him to be a great man and so far as the association, it has put on new life since he has been moderator. He is the right man in the place, if he had not been put at the head when he was I feel our association would have gone down, but on account of his great leadership he has made it what it is, so I feel we ought to be proud of a man like him. I am sorry to say that some people don't know a good thing when they have it. I know our association is better financially spiritually and in every other way than it has since I have been here and I look upon him as a great man, and we must keep him for what he has done and for what he is doing. I was over at Brookport a few weeks ago and to look and see the building over there that he has erected says to us he is a great pastor and builder I am for McCraty once, twice and all the time and I am sorry to say to the new men coming into the state to split it there is no God in it.

Prucitt, Fres. of M. and D. Unio --- GOVERNMENT ADVISES WHEAT GROWERS How to Avoid Hessian Fly. "It should be borne in mind that the most practical and effective methods of controlling the Hessian fly are identical with the best methods of producing the maximum yields of wheat. It does not seem to occur to the average farmer that it is possible for him to fight the Hessian fly by the process of good farming, involving thorough cultivation, good seed, and a rotation of crops. It has been said, and with truthfulness, that outbreaks of this pest are more often the result of poor farming than otherwise. The most serious objection to the most practical and effective method that can be employed to control this pest in the field—namely, late sowing—is that there is danger of so delaying the growth of the plants that they do not become sufficiently advanced to enable them to withstand the winter. The farmer is thus placed, as it were, between Scylla and Charybdis, and must risk the ravages of the Hessian fly on the one hand or the freezes of winter on the other. "Much of the delay in the growth of late-sown plants in the fall can be eliminated by paying close attention to the preparation of the soil and to the quality of the seed. A thoroughly vigorous wheat plant will not only withstand a slight attack of the Hessian fly but it frequently occurs that such a light attack is rather beneficial than otherwise, for the reason that the killing of the first shoot that is thrown up from the kernel forces the plant to tiller, and in rich soil the result is to produce more grain; but if the soil lacks fertility and has been poorly prepared, this slight attack that vigorous plants overcome is fatal to weak plants, because of the badly nourished condition of the plants. The best advice that can be given is to begin the preparation of the field in the fall precisely as though it was expected to sow at a very early date, but instead of sowing use the disk harrow and the roller, even after it appears to be a waste of labor to till the field further. "When a finely pulverized, compact seedbed has been secured, the seed should be selected, and this should be done with the point in view that unnaturally shriveled or 'otherwise imperfect kernels cannot produce healthy wheat plants. When the kernel sprouts it at once sends fibrous roots down into the soil from which to draw nourishment for the young plant, and if little or no nourishment is secured the wheat plants are put into somewhat the condition of stunted calves, plks or other farm animals which are underfed. "Wheat plants cannot secure prompt and ample nourishment if the roots must make their way about among clods due to poor preparation of the soil, or in soil that lacks in fertility. The farmer, then, should begin the preparation of his soil with the object of delaying the sowing of the wheat and afterwards of pushing the growth of the plant to the utmost until the beginning of the cold weather. There are farmers who grow wheat continuously year after year but who rarely lose a crop on account of Hessian fly attacks, and even more rarely do the pest originate in their own fields."—Circular 51; U. S. Department of Agriculture. FERTILIZE LIBERALLY "I am convinced that the average individual loses his chance for the largest net income from land by failure to fertilize liberally. When one lacks capital it is perhaps a serious matter to run up a big bill for fertilizers, but when labor and seeds are to be risked it is poor business not to have enough plant food to make a good crop. Poor land does not gut one anywhere—at least in the direction he wants to travel."—Alva Azee, in National Stockman and Farmer. According to the editor of the United States Experiment Station Record, Director Russell of the Rothamstead (England) experiment station says that "the English farmer's task in the future will be to increase his yield." But he further states: "We must strengthen the straw, improve the tillering, regulate to some extent the development of grain and control the pests. Until these are all solved we cannot hope to get much further with increased wheat yields." The interesting part of this is that so good an authority sees the necessity of still further increasing the English yields of wheat per acre. In this country, although we produce less than one-half the English yields per acre, some of our would-be agricultural economists tell us that we have solved our production problems, have even already given too much attention to production. So long as American farmers produce only about 14 bushels of wheat per acre while England produces for an average of ten years 32.8 bushels of wheat per acre, it is ridiculous to suppose that, while in competition with English farmers, we have no further production problems calling for solution. The great American agricultural problem is greater soil fertility and greater yields per acre. zette. Good commission, allowed. Write 903-Pearl, St., Metropolis, Ill., for information. The Manager.

Io Whom Concerned: The above statement is given because some indiscreet minister or ministers have circulated the reports that Rev. G. W. Rowletc and J. B. MeCrary, had spent all of the above named money. So you can see that it was circulated to injure our standing and reputation and standing as ministers and citizens. They said they would defeat McCrary as moderator and they could do as they wish in spending the money. We are going to do our duty regardless of the plots and tricks.

The terra "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the seas, especially the hazy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Misfit Name. Little Florence climbed upon her father's lap on her birthday and put her arms around his neck.

Look Up Our Record It is not hard, we were born near Johnsonvill, Tennessee, then we moved to Metropolis, Ill., with our parents over forty years and have remained every since where we have resided on Pearl St., for 40 years. We have been a member of the First Baptist church here for 40 years, and equally as long in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association of Southern Ill., of which I have the honor of being moderator for only two years. We are asking that you look into our official record from any angle and see if we do not compare favorably with any of our predecessors, and and even with one who is willing to become a willing tool in the hands of the enemies of our association simply because it stands out for "Landmarkism," vs. "Alien Immersion" "Freewill Ordination" and kindred evils and encroachments upon the Baptist doctrine, handed, down by Jesus Christ, carried out by Apostles and so tenaciously adhered to by our Old Fathers who are now fallen asleep, and left the work as a rich legacy to their children. We can hear the echo of the voice of the late George W. Dupase, D.-D., of Rev A. Lovelace, the other missionary elected at the association, is endeavoring to reach of his churches of his district, though some refuse to have him come. This is wrong and no church should turn away a regular elected missionary nor a gospel minister in good and regular standing on the account of serif interests. We hope every church of the district will do their full duty towards the mission work. No church or pastor can flatly refuse to abide the rules and laws of the association and hold their relationship with the association. We are pleased to note that the minds of the Baptists of the district are at rest as to the false report put out that the money of the school had been stolen, since they have seen the sworn statement of the Cashier of the City National Bank, of Metropolis. Let us get down to work and make the meeting of the association at Colp, the bsst in the history of its organization.

Member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., who was declared recently by the Chancery Court, to be one of the original Board member.s Explanations. It never does take a man long to explain when he is right or thinks he is right. It is when a man goes wrong that great long explanations are needed. Paducah, stentorian notes, as if it were but yesterday, when he called out to the young men of Illinois, when we were threatened as we are today with men who propose to override our constitution and Land Markism and set up a mongrel rule, "To Arms!" To Arms!" and we hear the voices of Drs. F. Robinson, Allison, Knowles, Wilson, Roberts, Caldwell and others, saying to us to earnestly content for the Faith once delivered to the saints. We declare unto you, under this banner we will ever rally, and will see too, God being our helper that the old "Banner" will not be hauled and trail in the dust. Let us say the Land Mark Baptists, Arise, gird on your armour, To Armish unheath your sword, and let us who love these old Baptist principles so dearly, principles for which Baptist heroes have sacrificed their lives and went into dungeons and banishment not stop until we have routed and put to confusion those among us who have made the proud boast that they will split the association, if we continue to endorse the General Baptist Association, and National Baptist Convention (unincorporated.) Any one who would make such a wicked statement is a traitor to the cause and is playing into the hands of the devil. They say they want to get rid of McCrazy, so as take charge of the association.

EVERS County Supt, Schools. Metropolis, Ill., July 24, '19 Dear Editor, will you allow me space in your valuable paper to announce that we reviving our prayer services, and it seems that the people are getting interested about their souls and where they shall spend eternity; as it behooves everybody to begin to work out their own soul's salvation. As prayer is the main pillar of the church of God, let me persuade every one to attend prayer, meeting at some one's church, each prayer meeting night, let us be found at some prayer meeting and be in meditation to God daily for our people. God will give us our people as He did Queen Esther her people. It is going to take prayer for the deliverance of our people. Read the Bible, as everybody ought to read the Bible and live by it. God has no respector to persons. If He is for us He is more than all the world against us. It is simply Heaven or Hell or one, Which will it be?

Hesy Annual Rainfall. The rainfall of a village among the hills of Assam, during the ten weeks from May 1 to July 9 this year, was 450 inches. The village is Cherrapunjil, the rainstest spot in Asia and presumably in the world. Its annual rainfall is something over 450 inches—say, fifteen times as much as London. Cherrapunjil stands on a plateau, overlooking the plain of Syilha, and it is 455 feet above sea level.—Westminster Gazette. Daily Health Hint. Understand that if you are mentally enified with stiffness, old age and death, no amount of desire or affirmation can make you well, young, or long lived.

Olive Baptist District Associations of Southern Illinois, desirous of a more oneness in perpetuating the principles and Doctrines Legislated by Jesus Christ, and practiced by His Apostles, seeking by the word of God to bring ourselves, and the churches as well, more into the unity of the Faith of Jesus Christ, do now adopt the following Constitution. Article 1 Name. Sec.1. This organization shall be called the Missionary Baptist Minister's Alliance of Southern Illinois. Sec.2. Officers. Its Officers shall consist of a President, two Vice Presidents, Recreating Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer and such committees as may conserve the best interest of the body, all of which shall be elected annually by a majority vote of the body. Article 2 Membership. Sec.1. This organization shall be composed of Missionary Baptist Ministers furnishing bonified membership in any regular Missionary Baptist Church, together with his good standing where he now pastors, or where he last pastored, or the church where he worship's with whether he ever pastored or not. Article 3. Authority. Sec.1. This organization shall have the power to receive to, or drop from its fellowship any Minister or Ministers whom it deems worthy or unworthy of fellowship. Sec 2 This Constitution by laws,or regulations,shall by no means conflict with the rules and regulations of the two Associations namely Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive. Poor Church Fund. A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCrary. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small intrrest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by lifting a penny collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association and was readily approved. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.
