METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE FARMER POISONS WOMEN. TEN CHICAGO PEOPLE RUN DOWN IN DAY JULY 28TH. Be Ye Sure Your Sins Will Find You Oun It is a well known fact that none can sin with 'mpunity. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall be also reap." Some of the men are reaping their harvest of misrepresentation in this district, just as some are doing throughout the country. That circulated, that: "Boyd hap stolen the Publishing House and that the deeds were made out to his children. Their sins have found them out because this statement is contrury to what the laws of Tennessee delineated the rule by which the Publishing Board must operate. It is not reasonable to suppose that the 8 members of the Board would lie down, and suffer this 'great steal.' There would have had to be a divide up among the members of the Board. "McCrary has stolen the school money." notwithstanding cashier of one of the Banks in Metropolis filed a sworn statement, to the effect that the money was in the Bank; if isn't let them send the Cashier to the state prison for perjury and McCrary, for embezzlement and Washington and Phillips for stealing from the Baptists, are due to go too. This rank falsehood sprang from a little batch of "Morrisites." They want the Baptists to co-operate with the Milk and cider State Convention," and from there, to the Incorporated Morris Convention. These truths are they call "News paper Billfying." Some of the churches have begun to see what these men had in their heads several of the pulpit bablers have had to move, and others are getting very restless. They ought to have to go. Any man or set of men that will attempt to mislead a church for a selfish end ought to he ousted from the pulpit. There some other things true too, that we shall come thru with in the not distant future. There is a certain man that talks much about the law that when a man comes into the district and has charge of a church he is required to tell where he last pastored and the church that holds his membership. This is law alright for an alright man. But, but, but. Rev. H. E. McWilliams, has been appointed State financial director of Illinois for the Educacational drive for the (Unincorporated) National Baptist Convention, I have just been informed that Dr. C. C. Phillips, is the director for Southern Illinois for the greet financial drive of $25,000,000 in ten years. Rev. J. B. McCrary, is the trustee of the National Baptist Theological Training School, Nashville, Tenn. We desire to see Illinois take the lead in the financial drive.

Olive and East Mt. Olive Baptist Association, that Rev. H. E. Williams, is the only legal and recognized State missionary for these Associations. Any other man styling himself a State missionary, though he be an angel from either worlds he has no appointment from the General Baptist Association and is an interloper and is misrepresenting the the facts when he visits the churhes affiliating with the above named associations as such. J. B. McCrary, Mod. A preacher who will pretend that he is mad with the editor to keep from paying an honest debt made by his own voluntary acts, is a man not fit for leadership. We must have our money or the account goes into the hands of a collector. Slashes Throat With Razor D. L. Tandy, a highly respected citizen of Metropolis, while temporary insane early Wednesday morning slashed his throat with a razor making a deep and dangerous across his throat, but for the timely arrival of Drs. Walbright and Starks he would have bled to death. He has been sick for several months with dropsical trouble and it is thought while he was brooding over his sickness and his business as he has been engaged in successful restaurant and grocery business, he became violently insane. The doctors claim that the loss of blood may help him. He is doing as well as could be expected at present. Confesses Sending Poisoned Candy Tennessee Farmer Wanted to Kill Wife to Marry Another.

HARDING SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE A NEW KEYNOTE Republican Nominee at Notification Ceremonies Discusses Problems Confronting the Nation. "HOLD HERITAGE AMERICAN NATIONALITY UNIMPARED" Advocates Party Responsibility as Distinguished from Dictatorial and Autocratic, Personal Rule—In Referring to League of Nations, Says We Do Not Mean to Shun a Single Responsibility of This Republic to World Civilization—Favors Protective Tariff, Merchant Marine, a Small Army, Woman Suffrage and National Budget. Marion. Ohio.—(Special.)—Warren G. Harding was officially notified here of his nomination as the Republican candidate for the presidency. His speech of acceptance is, in part, as follows: Chairman Lodge, Members of Notification Committee, Members of National Committee, Ladies and Gentlemen: The message which you have formally conveyed brings to me a realization of responsibility which is not underestimated. It is a supreme task to interpret. The covenant of a great political party, the activities of which are so woven into the history of this republic, and a very sacred and solemn undertaking to utter the faith and aspirations of the many millions who adhere to that party. The party platform has charted the way, yet, somehow, we have come to expect that interpretation which voices the faith of nominees who must assume specific tasks. Let me be understood clearly from the very beginning. I believe in party sponsorships in government. I believe in party government as distinguished from personal government, individual, dictatorial, autocratic or what not. No man is big enough to run this great republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquility, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war. Our first committal is the restoration of representative popular government, under the constitution, through the agency of the Republican party. Our vision includes more than a chief executive. We believe in a cabinet of highest capacity, equal to the responsibilities which our system contemplates, in whose counsels the vice president, second official of the republic, shall be asked to participate. The same vision Rev. Wm, H, Carter, officiated at the Sunday services with mnch delight to his congregation. Mrs. Carrie Carter, wife of the Rev. Carter will go to Indian soon to bring her aged mother home. The Mysterious Tens gave a concert last Saturday which was very noteworthy. Attention will be given to the third anniversary of Rev. Carter as pastor. The program will consist of sermons, solos and papers on pastorial, finance, etc. We remain yours in Christ Rev. W. H. Carter, pastor J. Scott, Clerk Ullin.

It is not difficult, Chairman Lodge, to make ourselves clear on the question of international relationship. We Republicans of the Senate, conscious of our solemn oaths and mindful of our constitutional obligations, when we saw the structure of a world supergovernment tinkling visionary form, joined in a becoming warning of our devotion to this republic. If the torch of constitutionalist had not been dimmed, the delayed peace of the world and the tragedy of disappointment and Europe's misunderstanding of America easily might have been avoided. The Republicans of the Senate halted the barter of independent eminence and influence, which it was proposed to exchange for an obscure and unequal place in the merged government of the world. Our party-means to hold the heritage of American nationality unimpaired and unsurrendered. The world will not misconstrue, we do not mean to hold aloof. We do not mean to shun a single responsibility of this republic to world civilization. There is no hate in the American heart. We have no envy, no suspicion, no aversion for any people in the world. We hold to our rights and mean to defend, aye, we mean to sustain the rights of this nation and our citizens alike, everywhere under the shining sun. Yet there is the concord of amity and sympathy and fraternity in every resolution. There is a genuine aspiration in every American breast for a tranquil friendship with all the world. One may readily sense the conscience of our America. I am sure I understand the purpose of the dominant group of the Senate. We were not seeking to defeat a world aspiration, we were resolved to safeguard America. We were resolved then, even as we are today, and will be tomorrow, to preserve this free and independent republic. In the call of the conscience of America is peace, peace that closes the gaping wound of world war, and silences the impassioned voices of international envy and distrust. Heeding this call and knowing, as I do, the disposition of the Congress, I promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as a Republican Congress can pass its Quite True.

Page Four AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and to our surrounding territory, thereto. Having been solicited a number of my people, also encouraged by some of white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service in members of the other race, though I am in friendship with all the other undertakers, and expect to return that relationship throughout my business career. I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and 10th. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalage, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14, from which school I hold a Diploma. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, to the advance price on these goods, but we have changed with a large undertaking establishment to furnish with anything needed on short notice.
