METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE RIOT JURY ON STRIKE. MODERATOR McGRARY VISITS EAST MT. OLIVE ASSOCIATION UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY AUG ME VOLUME XX RIO MODERAT Another Great Association Closed in Centralia. By Dr. C. C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill Find he ewith inclosed $3.00 for service rendered by the Gazette. Am proud to say we closed out a splendid a sociation at Centralia. $404.00 passed on the table. Foreign Mission rally Sunday p.m was grand, $84.00 was turned over to the Field Secretary Dr. Fleming Dr. don't you think this does fairly good for the "dictator?" Phillips is the dictator. No indeed Phillips can't do the work by himself. But he is in company with such men as Drs. Washington, Dorsey, Elders Davis, Bowers, Mckee, Dr Armstead, McQueen, Norden, Pruitt, Gray, Winston and others whose names we cannot recall. Yes, Drs. McCrary, Norment, and Catter dropped in and helped us to dictate. Grd bless the great and good men. Yes Dr. H. E. McWilliams was in Phillips and Washington, are a pretext in the East Mt. Olive Ass'n., and McCrary, and Pruitt, are the pretext in the Mt. Olive ass'n. Pretext to what? To split the association's starting point, to organize on behalf of the Morris convention. There is a disposition among some of the new comers in the state to fill every pulpit they can with a Morris man. It would be well for the churches when a man is recommended to fill their pulpit they should find out just where he stands. The men that have stood up in their pulpits and told the people that Dr. Boyd had stolen the Publishing house ought to be ashamed to look their congregations in the face now. The court says just what Dr. Boyd and others have said, the property belongs to the Baptist and the Board were only the legal directors. Entertains at Supper. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Thorpe, of Perks, members of the A. M. E. Church, who recently became subscribers to the Gazette entertained Revs. Jno. Winston, Wm Willingham and Edgar McCrary, and Mrs. M. J. Blake Turnage, at supper Saturday evening at their beautiful home. Everything that goes to make up a delicious supper was placed before the guest, and we need not say the same was enjoyed. Mr. Thorpe has a good cook and she is assisted greatly by her daughters who are following in their mothers' footsteps. They certainly know how to entertain friends. God bless them. Mrs. Martha Lyons, continues very sick and her recovery is very doubtful. Subscribe for the Gazette. --- AUG 19 1919 METROPOL II NO. 22 MET OT J OR McGRA Dr. G. W. Alexander Speaks. You will please allow space through the columns of your newsy sheet for us to say a word about the kind treatment of the people of Metropolis, toward us during our stay in your city. We wish to say that we have never been treated any better by no people than by the good people here. We have been made to feel just like we were at home with our own people, and we shall never forget the kind and warm welcome extended to us by the Rev. E. S. B. McCrary, mother and wife. We must say they certainly know how to make it pleasant for strangers. Their home is just ideal, full of sunshine, as well as business. It was quite a treat to us indeed to have the pleasure of seeing Rev. McCrary, as his father Rev. J. B. McCrary, was out of city on my arrival but the young man is equal to the task. His wife handles that great machine with so much ease and to witness the activeness of a devoted mother in assisting him with his work is quite remarkable indeed. Rev. McCrary, has a wife I am quite sure, he is proud of. She has the ability to go side by side with her husband. Not all the time do we see this everywhere. We wish to thank Rev. McCrary for great interest that he manifested in us. He allowed himself no rest until he found out that our appointment had been established at the Antioch Baptist church with Rev. Morris and his good people, where we have had the honor of serving every night. We find Rev. Morris to be an exceptional good man, he is broad and has a religious heart. He has a great wife that loves home and her first and last effort is to make it pleasant for husband and guest. We shall never forget the pleasant hours we spent in this christian home. Their kind deeds will ever be to us a living monument which shall best speak for them, when we are far away. We find your town to be a very busy and thrifty one and we wish to assure you that our stay with you has been a pleasant one, that we appreciate beyond exspression. We are yours for the Master's Kingdom, Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Alexander, Natchez, Miss. Rev. H. E. McWilliams, State Missionary for the Baptist General Association of Hl., was in the city the 14, and called in to see us He is the right man for the place as he stands for something. Mrs. Julia McCane, returned from St. Louis, Tuesday from a visit. Re. and Mrs. G. W. Alexander, of Vicksburg, Miss., left for their home Thursday after delivering aome able sermons at the Antioch Baptist church. --- RACE RIOT JURY ON "STRIKE." Declares Chicago Prosecutor Is Discriminating Against Negroes. Chicago, Aug 6 — Prosecution of the race rioters was halted abruptly today by a break between the county grand jury and State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne. The jury literally dropped its consideration of evidence in a body and walked out, flinging charges at the pros cutor that he is discriminating against Negroes. To this Mr. Hoyne replied immediately by issuing a statement in which he vigorously denied discrimination and, in substance, told the jury to mind its own business and do its duty, as the state's attorney is attempting to do his. He declared he was not to be dictated to regarding the manner and order in which the riot cases he has prepared are presented to the jury for action. "Why are we getting cases against black men only? Why don't you present some cases against white rioters, too?" was the juror' protest THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Rev. A. Lovelace. Missionary of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, Murphysboro, Ill. Ramblings. Rambler, left Metropolis, at 4-20 a. m., via C. B. & Q. for Mounds, Wednesday Aug. 6., and arrived at Md. City at 32:30 over the Big Four, arriving at Mounds, at 12:50 p. m. We soon found ourselves in the lovely home of Dr C. W. Norment, where we found ourselves in company of his most estimable wife, who soon had a sumptuous meal prepared for our consumption and without boasting in the least, we did justice to the provision. and was driven to St. John Baptist church by pastor C. W. Norment, where we preached for his people, and we found the members alive, and all working for the Lord. Rev Norment is doing a very commendable work here spiritually and financially, and he is in the hearts of his members. He has had tile church building beautified both inside and out with modern electrical fixtures. Rambler, left Thursday morning at 4:58 lor Carbondale, in the company of Dr. Norment, and at 7:30 we took breakfast with Bro and Sist. James Beamer of which we highly appreciated. Offt r visiting a number of old friends we were invited and shared the hospitality for dinner with Bro, and Sist. Albert Hicks and Brother Calvin Morgan and wife. They certainly know how to make it pleasant for their guest. We left at 1:20 p. m. for Centralia, to attend the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association pronouncing the benediction of God upon these good people for kindness toward us. We went to the New Beth-1 Baptist church, on arrival in the city where we found a large attendance of messengert and visitors of Women's auxiliary to the association in session, presided over by that good and faithful woman, Mrs M. J. O'Connor, of Carbondale, who for 3 years has wielded the gavel and successfully directed the destinies of this organization. We found these faithful women doing much constructive work for the Master and the Baptists. The financial interest was high. Rev. Norment, and Rambler, Rev. Norment, and Rambler, were introduced to the Body. After reading letters the officers were elected, Mrs. North of Marion, being elected president, announcements and benediction. At 8:00 p.m. the members reassembled, much business was transacted, then a short program was rendered. Promptly at 9:00 announcement was made of the arrival of Dr. E. P. Jones, Pres., of the National Baptist Convention was at the door, as he had been previously invited to address the delegation at that hour. He was escorted to the platform by moderator Dr W. P. Washington while the vast audience stood and sang 'Onward Christian Soldier' A splendid paper was read by the moderator, after which sister Walker sang a solo which enlivened the occasion. Dr. Jones. was introduced to a packed house. A wonderful address was delivered by this great man which thrilled every heart, and many acclamations, of Amens! were heard and other demonstrations of approval were made. Dr. Jones is truly a great and wonderful man, being possessed with oratorical powers of no mean ability, a man much sought, for his constructive qualification sound judgment, and logical reasoning A collection of $25.50 was lifted. Then the announcements and discussion and the speaker left at once for Evanston, leaving many pleasant recollections behind. Friday at 9:30 a. m. the devotional exercises were conducted for 30 minutes by Rev. A. J. Bowers, then moderator Washington, made some striking remarks and declared the 18, annual session opened for business. A gospel hymn was sung and the messengers gave the hand of fellowship was given, then the 4th chapter of James was read by the moderator. Dr. C. W. Norment offered a fervent prayer to God on behalf of the race and christian family. Thirty minutes were given to remarks and Revs. J. B. McCrary C. W. Norment Jno. Bruen. S. H. Pruett made some striking remarks. The hour of twelve having arrived for preaching, Rev. Norment read the 14, chapter of Zech.. Prayer by J. B. McCrary, then Rev. G. W. Dorsey, pastor of Hopewell Baptist church, Carbondale, was introduced, and delivered a strong sermon from 1:48 of Acts. Theme—Divine Treasure which is in exhaustable. He is certainly a pulpit orator and, a pastor worthy of note and his people are proud of him. He is a financier and he recently lifted the church debt. After the collection the meeting dismissed un-3:00. Promptly at the appointed hour the delegation re-assembled and after transacting some business Rev. J. B. McCrary, was conducted to the platform and the Rev. John Bruen, of Mt Vernon, offered prayer. Rev. McCrary, was introduced and delivered a very able sermon, said by those able to judge as being a master piece and ranking with the best sermons delivered at this meeting for which we thank them for their liberal views and expressions. The election of officers followed and Rev. Washington, who for 8 years had presided as moderator was re-elected unanimously. Dismission. At 8:00 the meeting was called to order by the moderator and Rev. R. C. Walker, of Mt. Vernon, read the scriptures, then the Rev. J. K. Swain, of Columbus, Ohio, evangelist, was introduced and preached a strong sermon from the subject "Faith," which caused many hearts to rejoice. Flemings of Louisville, Ky., the Field Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, made a short talk and it was decided to give him an hour on Sunday at which time efforts would be put forth to raise $100.00 for Foreign Missions. This is a work that is greatly neglected, especially by the Mt. Olive Baptist association, when sending in their report to the annual Association. Mrs M J. O'Connor, read her address and the same was heartily received. $3.10 was donated to Moderator McCrary, to asssist him on his fare for which he was very thankful and he asks for the same kind consideration by the loyal and broad hearted ministers and members of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association when Moderator Washington visits our meeting. This was certainly a great meeting and Rev. McKee and his good people are certainly entitled to be complimented for their good work. While in the city we were entertained at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Miller of Howard St., little Annie Belle their lovely little daughter and Rev. Norment certainly know how to devour chicken. We left night via I. C. for Perks, where we were billed to assist in a missionary meeting conducted by Rev. J. H. Hilly. While in Centralia, we inspected the new church edifice of 2nd Baptist in course of construction under the wise leadership of Elch W. H. Carter, pastor. It is fully modern in every detail, with basement, study, pool, cloak room and a seating capacity of 750 in the main auditorium. When it is completed it will be one of the best buildings from Cairo to Chicago. Dr. Carter is truly a great man and a splendid pastor and knows how to treat a worthy minister. The Baptists of Souther Illinois are beginning to learn some sense and are leading off in erecting good substantial brick and stone buildings for the most part as they have found out that they must do something for the rising young Negro in order to attract and hold him in the S. S. and the church. Noise or an empty sound with no common sense or reason but often giving a mourn or groan called "gravy" by that class of preachers and Bible beaters and pulpit ranters. I say, the young Negroes of to-day are demanding better and more attractive buildings and then men who are able to lead by sound logical reasoning.

Dad was from some little town near Cincinnati. He had come all the way to Indianapolis to see his boy, his only son who had been away from home for four years. The boy was in the army and was being transferred. He was to be in Indianapolis on Sunday and wired his father to meet him. Somehow, father and son missed connection in the union station. Dad decided to appeal to the women of the Red Cross canteen booth. "I was to meet him here," dad said. "He hasn't shown up. I know he's in Indianapolis somewhere." The canteeners got busy. Dad and his boy had to be brought together. First the canteeners summoned the military police. They got a description of son. The M. P.'s started out to find him. The canteeners also started scouts. They visited every downtown corner and haunt of the soldiers. An hour later the canteeners looked up toward the station door. In came dad and his boy—arm in arm. "I did just as you told me," the father said. "You told me to go uptown and stand on that corner. You said he'd pass there, and pretty soon he did. The military police kept coming by to ask if I had attrail of him. And then he came. My, but he was glad to see me!" Of course he was glad to see him. The boy's smile told how glad he was to see his dad.—Indianapolis News. BACK TO HIS OLD FREEDOM Stormy Petrel, After Brief Stay With Tame Birds, Returns to His Accustomed Place. "The stormy petrel has left us," said Sergent McGee of the park police. "He appeared to be getting along with the mudhens like a house on fire, but on Monday or Tuesday last he just faded away, and now he is back on his ocean wave or wherever else petrels go when they get tired of the company of mudhens. "But a successor has come from the briny deep to keep up the traditions of the blue-water birds on Stow lake. He is only a seagull, and a seagull is not such a rara avis on terra as our lost friend, the stormy petrel. Nevertheless he is the first wild one of his kind that has ever tarred with us for two weeks, and seemed to keep comfortable. "He has no use for either the ducks or the mudhens. That is to say, he does not mix with them. But he has struck up a friendship with Anthony and Cleopatra, the two pelicans of the Nile, and there is no driving him away from them. Maybe he thinks they will protect him from the mudhens, maybe it is a case of 'the desire of the moth for the star', and he is in love with one of them. If so, it is only a matter of time when one or the other of them will get jealous and gobble him up in one gulp."—San Francisco Bulletin. Chip of the Old Bleck. It is curious how episodes of the Boer war are recalled by the world conflict, says a writer in the Yorkshire Post. In our issue for May 16, 1900, for instance, we published an account of the bravery in the field of Private E. Wischusen, who threw a live shell over a cliff during an engagement. Now his son, Private Eric Wischusen, duke of Cambridge's Middlesex regiment, has proved himself to be no less brave. As a parchment certificate from his commanding officer shows, in a raid near Voorzeeel, on June 19-20, he was "conspicuous for his determination and bravery." Despite a heavy artillery and machine-gun barrage, he reached the enemy trenches, cleared them, and finally covered the raiders' withdrawal, "showing complete disregard to his own safety." --- METKOPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. usual problems often arise quire unusual service that efficiently rendered organization. at all emergencies, of any to our profession OUR TELEPHONE IMMATERIAL part of Metropolis, or the can save you Worry, Time the Country and Auto- ility. vered day or night. mpany MGR.

Geologists are unable to explain the fact, proven in Osage county, that oil wells drilled adjacent to Indian cemeteries are good producers. Many such burial sites have been invaded by drillers and in more instances than one riches in crude oil have sponted forth. The largest producer in the vicinity of Pawhuska was drilled beside an Indian graveyard. It is on the summit of a high, rocky hill that overlooks the town.—From the Oklahoma NO ANARCHY IN FORD'S VIEWS BISHOP WILLIAMS TESTIFIES IN THE $1,000,000 LIBEL CASE AGAINST TRIBUNE. WON'T TELL "HALF-TRUTHS" Noted Divine Says if Manufacturer's Theories are Anarchical Then Mt. Clemens, Mich.-The Chicago Tribune rested its defense in the $1,000,000ibel suit which Henry Ford has brought against it after spending seven weeks and two days in attempting to prove that it was justified in calling the manufacturer an "anarchist." The 12th week of the trial opened with Ford counsel offering rebuttal testimony against The Tribune's defense. The first witness for Mr. Ford was the Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams, D. D., Episcopal bishop of Michigan, who appeared on the stand in rebuttal of the testimony of Prof. J. S. Reeves, professor of political science in the University of Michigan who had previously testified that Henry Ford's views were distinctly anarchistic. Bishop Williams said that Mr. Ford's views were far from being anarchistic and were, in fact, Christian, common and often commonplace. The Bishop refused to be led by Tribune counsel in his answers and insisted on telling "the whole truth." Asked whether he thought Henry Ford's declaration that all armies should be disbanded, all navies destroyed and all material of war converted into commercial implements was anarchistic, the witness answered: Would Be Good World. "I could quote a half-dosen passage from Scripture that express almost that idea. I should say that the main theme of these statements by Henry Ford are distinctly Christian, commonly preached in Christian pulpits and that if they were lived up to this would be a pretty good Christian world." "Bishop," asked Tribune counsel, "do you believe that Mr. Ford has quoted, 'patriotism is the last resort of a scoundrel.'" "I have often said so," responded the witness. "I have often seen it so." "It is the belief of anarchists," said Tribune counsel. "Yes and the belief of Christians." "Will you be good enough to answer the question," retorted counsel. "Anarchists say that and Christians say that. I am afraid I am going to tell the whole truth." "Now Bishop—" Would Tell Whole Truth. "I am going to tell the whole truth." Phone 364 Proposed Constitution Of The Baptist Minister's Alliance. We, the Minister's of the Mt. Olive and East Mt. 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.

A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCraary. 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, 76e. Results All That Count.
