METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE SMITHS WON THE WAR. GEO. R. WHITTIAKER. SUGGUMBS TO DEATH SUNDAY A. M. Facts Are Stubborn Thing to Overthrow. "Statement of Facts." By Dr. C. C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill. The above is the caption taken from the program of the so-called "Zion Missionary Baptist Association." It will be remembered that our contention has all the while been that the attempt to disrupt, corrupt and break, up the peace and harmony of the Baptists in this end of the State was not because of no grave complaint of the Association, but because of the Morris incorporated National and the "Milk and Cider State convention." The grave charges as against the two Associations, Mt. Olive, and East Mt. Olive Associations, are but a pretext leading up to the things that they have confessed in the program. "Out of their own mouths, and their own pen, we will judge them." Here are some of facts. "It is not to bring about splits and divisions in Baptist ranks for official greed and honors, but it is because there is a difference of opinions over National Baptist Convention questions relative to the Publishing Board." THESE ARE some of the "Statement of Facts." They have admitted after so long a time that the controversy is because of the National Baptist question. This is what we have repeatedly avered. Facts are stubborn things to overthrow. What next? They say "We do not believe in Associations medling with questions of Communion, baptism, and ordination, and they had just as well said Church Federation too, because they are but quartette of evils to the Missionary Baptist Zion. Do these brethren mean to tell the public as well as the Missionary Baptists throughout the country an Association made up with Missionary Baptist messengers, have not the undoubted right to say as to whether or not that these character of messengers shall be allowed to join the Association. This is what these brethren call medling with churches. If the churches have the right to know the qualification of a member or members before it receives them to the fellowship of the church, the same authority extends to the messengers of the churches to the Association. The Messengers have the same right to know that persons coming up to the Association are sound in the faith. "Keep,'(guard) the ordances as I have delivered them unto you." I. Cor. 2:2.. No, the Associations, has not has not the right to meddle with the doings of no church even the Free Wills or three Baptist, much less a Missionary Baptist church and to teach the doctrine of the New Testament is not meddling with no churches. The regular Missionary Baptists messengers sent up AD STAND ON FARMER BY WOOD HE TELLS HIS OPINION OF AGRI- CULTURE'S NEEDS AT THIS TIME. Chicago, Ill.—In an answer to a query from one of the leaders of agriculturists of the county, Leonard Wood, Republican candidate for presidential nomination, yesterday gave one of the most candid statements of his position toward the farmer that has ever been published by a political candidate. After declaring that the decline of agriculture is one of the greatest dangers the country faces, and that the farmer, as the backbone of the nation, is entitled to every administrative encouragement and a square deal all around, Wood gave as the salient points in his agricultural beliefs: "1. The farmer sacrificed much during the war. We owe him a debt of gratitude we never can repay for his stance loyalty. "2. Education for farm children should be as easily accessible and on as high a plane as that of city children, with vocational training to the last degree, in a broad, consolidated school system. "3. We must give the rural districts good reads, for commerce and relations. "4. There must be a department of agriculture in full and intelligent cooperation with the farmer and the great farm organizations. "5. I believe in a far closer connection between producers and consumers of food. Too small a portion of the consumer's cost gets back to the farmer. "6. Hourdling of food supplies should be rigorously suppressed. "7. Secure provision should be made to enable farmers to get adequate credit to extend farming interests. "8. There should be bigger supplies of fertilizer available at cheaper rates. "9. I believe that the treatment of cooperative organizations of farmers should be with the same consideration as to other organizations under similar circumstances. "10. I believe in the gradual abolition of farm tenancy and encouragement of ownership of land by the individual farmer. "11. I believe in a wide extension of the farm bureau system which seems well fitted to solve many of the economic questions which confront the farmer—problems of production and distribution." regular setting-up exercises. He will keep this up for five minutes or more, and at stated intervals through the day." CROKER SEES ONLY WOOD. Palau Beach, Fla., April 8. —Richard Croker took time enough from his suit here to express his views on national politics. "Who is the strongest Republican presidential candidate?" he was asked. "Looks to me like Wood," said Croker. "But who is the strongest Democratic candidate?" "They have no strong man, have they? I haven't heard of him." WOOD'S CHANCES INCREASE. Leonard Wood's chances for the Republican presidential nomination were greatly increased last week as a result of his victory in Illinois. A number of prominent politicians in the East recently stated that if Wood could make a good showing against Governor Lowden in Illinois, and a good showing against Senator Harding in Ohio, he would fall heir to the delegation of SS from New York. That delegation is "going to ride a winner" and if Wood can show the same strength against Harding as he did against Lowden, he will be the man it will support. HOPES WOOD WILL WIN. A letter in a child's handwriting addressed to General Wood reads as follows: "Dear General; I hope you are elected. My daddy was in the army with you in the Philippines. He is working for your nomination. Love. "From Harriett Minor Franklin, 353 West End Avenue N. Y. C." GEORGE R. WHITTAKER George Riley Whittaker, son of Preston and Lettitia Whittaker, was born in Johnsonville, Tenn., forty years ago last September. He was the youngest child of four children namely: Laura, Lula, Addie and Geore Riley. His father died when he was only five weeks old, leaving him to be raised by a widowed mother and with three children to care for and she moved to Metropolis, Ill., when he was two months old where he was reared to manhood, where he attended the Public School and also the Southern Illinois Normal at Carbondale. He was married once and leaves one child, Lavern to mourn his loss. His mother died July 5, 1911. He had many friends. He was not a member of any church, but when asked by members of the family and friends to put his trust in the Lord, he would often tell them he was praying and had done all that he could and that the Lord would surely hear him. We can only say that the Lord giveth and He taketh away and blessed be the name of the Lord. He leaves besides one son, a sister Mrs. Laura Bradley, several nieces, nephews, relatives and friends to to mourn their loss. Peace to his ashes. He died Sunday morning at 8:30 at his home on Pearl St., after a short illness. The funeral was attended at the 1st Baptist church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. G. W. Rowlett, officiated assisted by Rev. T. M. Moses. The remains were deposited in the Masonic Cemetery. There were many beautiful floral offerings. Correction. In our last week's issue of the Gazette we stated that Rev. Dr. Olive, of Cairo, was hired by the Interchurch movement to bribe them into his new association and that he had been offered a big job if he could get them into said movement. Rev. Olive informs us that the statements are untrue and that they place him in a wrong light to the injury of his good name. We thefore correct the statement and beg his apology. We do not wish to injury as this is not a personal contention, but one of "Doctrine" pure and simple and we propose to discuss it along that line and have no disposition or intention to put any personal animos in it. We would not dare to try to lie on him nor anyone else just to carry a point because we would lose in the long rnn. It is always a pleasure to us to correct any statement we may have made when convinced that the same is untrue. We try to do unto others as we would that they should do unto us. We are pleas- ODD FELLOWS HOLD SERVICES Sunday afternoon at 2:30 P.M. the G. U. O of O. F. and H. H. of R., held their annual Thanksgiving services at the A. M. E. church where they attentively listened to a well delivered sermon by Rev. S. B. Jones, pastor. The house was taxed to its capacity, and the collection for the occasion reached the $25 00 mark. Washington, D. C., May 5 — Federal decrees dismissing habeas corpus proceedings, brought to secure the release of Edgar C. Caldwell, a soldier convicted in Calhoun County, Ala., of murdering George R. Linton, a civilian and sentenced to be hanged, were upheld by the Supreme Court. Calwell's appeal from the refusal of lower courts to grant a writ of habeas corpus was based on the claim that since he was a soldier at the time of the murder he was subject to military and not civil courts. —That in Africa the girl who has the closet, curliest hair, with thick lips, a protruding nose and a skin shines like a cook stove is the real belle. Well girls there's a chance for you over there, even though you be turned down over here. BIG RALLY DAY AT ST. PAUL Sunday night marked the closing of a big three months rally at St. Paul and the mock conference that was planned by the pastor. Near $500.00 was raised during this period which speaks well for those who worked so faithfully. Rev. Wm. Woods, P. E., and Rev. Geo. Calhoun, were the successful winners of the prizes that were given to the district and pastor raising the largest amount of money. Two sacks of flour was given the former, a side of meat to the latter and a sack of flour to Miss Izora Rodgers. Monday morning pastor Jones, and wife left for St. Louis, Mo, to attend the General Conference which is in session in that city. to the Associations by the churches, must see to it that the wishes of the churches must be carried out. Now if the brethren want to go to the "Milk and Cider" State Convention let them do. If they approve of this loose practice, that is a concern of theirs. To be continued next week. Pastor McCrary, will be at his post of duty Sunday at Brookpoort and want to see all the members ed to note that the Dr. is not allied with the Interchurch movement. CUBAN STRONG FOR WOOD Gentiment in Island for Him, Says Menocal, in Recalling His Great Work. Chicago, March.—A strong indorsement for Leonard Wood in his candidacy for the presidential nomination has been made by General Mario G. Menocal, president of the Republic of Cuba. President Menocal in his indorsement speaks of the active work accomplished by General Wood when he was governor-general of Cuba. He classes it as the most glorious achievement made by America in that island. "General Wood practically demonstrated that real democracy is not incompatible with the principle of authority or with a strong government of powerful initiative," Menocal declares. "It will be found that without such a government democracy degenerates into anarchy and licentiousness. "General Wood left in Cuba a friendly people who remember with admiration his admirable qualities and work, and who will always be grateful to the United States for all that he contributed to the welfare of the Cuban people." WOOD STRONG IN INDIANA Joss and Hogan Say He Will Carry State at Primary—Ohio for Him, Glenn Says, Chicago, March.—Frederick A. Joss, vice chairman of the Leonard Wood campaign committee, who has just returned from a trip to Indiana and Missouri, and Harry G. Hogan, chairman of the Indiana state campaign, unite, in a statement in which they declare that Indiana will vote for Wood in the primary by a large majority. E. F. Glenn, a Wood worker, who is assisting John T. Price, Ohio state chairman, makes the same prediction for his state. WOOD VICTORY IN MISSOURI Chicago, March—William Cooper Procter, national chairman of the Wood campaign, announces that from reports received from members of his committee who were with Wood at of Louis, he confidently expects at least 18 of the 36 votes from Missouri will be for Wood on the first ballot. Among those votes will be that of David Procter of Kansas City, who won his place on the delegation after a hard fight with the anti-Wood forces. The election of Procter is considered a great victory for the Wood policies, for which the Kansas City Star has stood steadfastly for many years. WOOD CARRIED MINNEAPOLIS Chicago, March.—Final figures from the Minnesota primary show that Wood carried the 10 wards in Minneapolis comprising of the 5th Minnesota district. The first figures given out indicated that Hiram Johnson had won the district. Final figures are: Wood, 5,001; Johnson, 5,001; Hoover, 3,006; Lowden, 2,301. W. W. CANADA FOR WOOD Chicago, March. — With Governor Goodrich out of the race, Indiana is solid for Wood, according to William W. Canada, who was twenty-one years United States consul at Vera Cruz, Mexico. LEONARD WOOD. DUNBAR SGHOOL TO BE WRECKED Will Be Re-placed With a $35,000 Modern Building by September 1920. Dunbar School, an old four room brick building will soon be wrecked. The contract has been given and work will soon be started to erect a $35,000 modern brick and stone building with basement and etc., which we trust will be a credit to the city of Metrapolis.

Washington, May 12.—There were more Smith's in the American army, navy, and marine corps in the late war than persons of any other surname—enough Smiths to make fifteen regiments of 3,600 men each or two divisions of 27,000 men each. The world is full of Masons in fame only, but we want not so many of this sort, for the world is trying for men. Subscribe for The Gazette.

Jesus said, upon his word He would build his church and the gates of hell should not destroy it. Let us add here that all the combined forces of men cannot uproot the Church of Christ, or loose it from its moorings, neither can principalities, heights, nor depths, peril, or sword, nor world's upon world's persuade a child of God, move him from trusting in God. There is a fixed principle in his soul that serves as an anchor to a child born of God. The General Baptist State Association will meet with the Shiloh Baptist church, Murphysboro, Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in May, Rev. W. P. Washington pastor.

Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Gibbs, have moved into their new bungalow on 10th, St. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Any church needing a good pastor and a splendid preacher, a man of high ideals and broad vision, we can recommend Rev. Jno. Bruen, of Mt. Vernon, Ill., who successfully pastored Shiloh Baptist church of that city for 5 consecutive years. His address is 1011 Herbert, St. The old Mt. Olive has a foundation and a record behind it, as it was founded on solid facts and not on hate and misrepresentation. Its early founders stood for something in the days of yore. "Woe unto the Shepherd that divice my sheep." We are sorry that a number of our life long friends and members of 12th street, Mt. Moriah and Mt. Pleasant Baptist churches suffered themselves to leave the record they have made for these many years to follow after strangers Dr. Leroy Bunday, has behind him the entire 12,000,000 Negroes, because we feel that he did not receive justice. The Negro voter will be a great factor and a mighty power behind the throne at the polls this year, and they usually know their friends. Our State Missionary Baptist association of Illinois will convene in Murphysboro, Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in May. We would like to see a full representation of our churches, ministers, and laymen. There is a big time in store for you. Meet us there preacher. Dr. J. F. Thomas, the moderator, will treat you fairly. Dr. Carey of Chicago, no doubt will be elected one of the Bishops, of the African Methodist church. He is a man who will stand up for his rights and race. Md. City. Ill. April 13, 1920. To the Moderator of the Mt.
