METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE RACE MEN WIN IN OHIO. THE N. B. CONVEN'N. TO MEET IN COLUMBUS, O., SEPT. 8TH. OHIO GIVES COLORED MAN 60,000 VOTES Harry C. Smith. Cleveland Editor. Beaten By Only Narrow Martin After Having To Take Legal Steps To Get On Ticket For Secretary Of State. FOUR NOMINATED FOR LEGISLATURE Prominent Negro Business Men Win On Republican Ticket, Which Assures Their Election. Cleveland, Ohio.—Aug. 18. The primary, election fight in Ohio, has been of interest because of the fight being waged by Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, for Secretary of State. Smith had been forced off the ticket by the present Secretary of State, Harvey S. Smith, because of an alleged similarity in name. He carried the case to the state supreme court, and won the right to place his name on the ballot. Smith, received a total vote of between 50,000 and 60,000 votes and lost the race by only a narrow margin. Our group gave splendid support, Mayor Harry B. Davis, of Cleveland, was nominated for Governor and ex-Governor Frank B Willis for Senator. These results are very satisfactory. Four Colored men Nominated for In Cuyahoga coudiy the largest number of candidates on record entered the legislative race, among them being no less than five colored men. Harry E. Davis, attorney at-law; Samuel E. Woods, real estate broker; Welcome T. Blue, secretary of the Realty Housing & Investment Co., and Sydney B. Thompson foreman of the city street cleaning department. All these candidates with the exception of Blue, were nominated William R. Green, son of Hon John P. Green, ex-senator, will follow in his father's foot steps, for he has been nominated as senator on the Republican ticket. The primary result breaks all records, for the race will have three representatives in the legislature from Cuyahoga county and one senator. Rev. H. E. McWilliams, has been appointed State financial director of Illinois for the Educational 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 in ten years. Rev. J. B. McCrary, is the trustee of the Nation- Ramblings. Rev. J. B. McCrary, returned home Monday from Colp, where he held a successful S. S. institute with the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Mr. M. Duncan is the president, and knows how to make a meeting successful He makes a good presiding officer. We were guest of Bro. and Sist. J. H. Williams, who treated us royally while in their home. We were entertained by Bros. M, Duncan, Bro. and Sist. Hudson Bro. and Sist. J. W. Greer while there and they certainly treated us royally. The people of Colp, are hospitable and liberal. There are three churches and they are at peace and work in harmony and they have three good choirs, and all rendered excellent music at the Mt. Olive church for the institute. We found Eld J. D. Davis who is pastor doing a great work and to be loved and highly honored by all. He is an able pulpiteer and a good pastor and liberal toward others financially. This was the best institute meeting held as yet from a financial view point as $76.59 was raised. The members and citizens gave the institute by the request of pastor Davis $10 02 for Elder Edgar S. B. McCrary, who is confined to his bed and $4.50 was lifted for a sick sister of the church This is helping to carry out the mission of the church in helping the sick and distress, any church that will do will succeed, and the pastor will grow in favor with God and man.

O. Griffin of Paducah, Ky., preaching the closing sermon with a crowded house. All of the ministers delivered strong sermons and this was pronounced a grand affair. Mrs. Ada Gordon, of W. Pearl St, was the promoter and she is rejoicing because she had the cooperation of the members and citizens and she was able to collect $50 91 and was able to give the pastor $37.90 above expenses. We hope they may live to see many more such affairs and make it $100-09 next year. Rev, Morris is a man that is striving to build up the cause and deserves good treatment. God bless this good woman and those who willingly help her. CARD OF THANKS.

Editor of Gazette: I notice in the issue of your paper of Aug. 15th I am referred to and quoted as saying some things that is a m'representation of me and my sayings. I come not to your association to make any concessions or confessions of any suppose wrongs. There were some good things said and done in your associa ion. But I never said a word against the Zion Association or any of its prom ters. I believe it to be upright and I am with the Zion Association, the regular Baptist State convention and the Morris side of the National convention question. I am against the Board control of the National convention property. I am with the Zion association first and last. Please make this correction and send me a copy at my expense. W. G. Fau'kner Dr. Faulkner, Sir:—we have no correction to make, you and Dr. Phillips for the statement as I wasn't at the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association and know not what was said. You must not have read the article with an understanding as he did not charge you with speaking ill of the Zion Association. Dr. Phillips is liberal and truthful. at least I have always found him to be, if he has misquoted you I am sure he will make full atonement. As to the association and conventions mentioned in your article, you have a perfect right to belong to if you so desire and have my consent to do so without any illwill toward you from me, and I will continue to travel in the same good old way until traveling days are done; contending for the principles for which Christ died for which the Mt. Olive Baptist Association was organized over seventy years ago by our old Fathers meeting every wind doctrine by self styled leaders whose mission is to destroy all that stands for high and noble purposes. When we cease to be the Mt. Olive association will have supporters. The Morris faction should not have entered into the District Association work but it was lugged in by the promoters of the Zion Association and the lovers of Morris, than of Christ and his cause as they were willing to destroy a work of a lifetime in order to carry out the orders handed down by a human head. I will say again, as long as live I, am in and with the Old historic association and expect to pass into the beyond with a happy recollection of having spent my life's work and religious career in this great christian organization. With an abiding faith in God, zeal for the work and love for mankind, I am J. B. McCrary, Editor. Md. City. Ill. Allow space in your paper to say that Zion Traveller Baptist church is yet a live. We have Rev. J. H. Hilly for our pastor and we are planning for a great work here for the Master, we ask your prayers. We want to send our pastor to the Association and we are going to stay with the Old Mt. Olive Association and don't give us out. The church is getting along nicely now. Rev. Hilly is a good pastor and the right man in the right place. Pray for our success: Reporter; H. M. Off for Columbus, Ohio. The editor, Rev. J. B. McCrary expects to leave Tuesday at 0:45 a. m. Sept. 7th via of Carbondale, for Columbus, Ohio, to attend the National Baptist Convention, if our son, Edgar is no worse. He will met be by a delegation at Carbondale, composed of Revs. Norment, Phillips, Davis, and others; Duquoin by Rev. Prewett and delegation; Centralia, Revs. Carter and delegation, French, Parnell, and others No stop over in Centralia. The editor wants to visit a sick brother in Cleveland before returning.

Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mous 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 catarrrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

ILL versary, Rev. Thos. Morris. 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.

ILLINOIS TRACTION SYSTEM. (McKinley Lines.) AN OPEN LETTER We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory, thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my 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 than members of the other race, 'though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career. I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. Calls answered day or night; distance immaterial. We were in the U. S., Service for six months, trying to make this country safe for "Democracy," thereby insuring the colored man an equal opportunity with other races. Phone 229--Ring 3.

Office 901 Pearl St. Phone 364 Illinois Central Proudly Calls Attention to Its-Records There is a good deal of talk amon g uninformed people to the effect that the rairoads have not been fun ctioning for some time, and are not functioning at the present time. a - " If this talk were to 7 effect that the railroads are facing the task of attempting to move a greatly increased voliime of traffic with impaired “and insufficient plant, or that the ra ilroids had‘not kept pace with the growth of the country, it would do no harm, because it would be true, but any statement to the effect that the railroads have not been doing their utmost, and are not at the present time doing their utmost, with the facilities with which they have to work, must not be permitted to go unchallenged. Perhaps the best answer which I can make to this unjust criticism about the railroads not functioning; is simply to give here a statement of the gross ton miles of freight han dled by the IHinois Central system, per year, for the last ten years, and the number of passengers carried pne mile, per year, for the last ten yeas, which I do, as follows: Grése Ton Miles of Freight Passengers Carried One Mile 1910 ..... ...21,297,062,271 - 1910... . .... 745,818,345 1911 ..... ...21,889,824,779 1911 .... ..... 811,282,510 1912... .....21,531,250,666 1912 .... ..... 807,969,807 1913 ... .....24,391,106,507 1913 .... ..... 815,812,320 1914 ... .....24,366,570,056 1914 .... ..... 832,881,282 1915 ... ...--24,893,278,841 1915 .... ..... 747,797,713 1916... .....27,704,768,863 1916 .... ..... 850,797,693 1917... .....31,302,858,783 1917 .... -.... 982,111,873 1918... .....34,227,608,231 1918 .... .....1,026,898,494 1919 ... .....28,740,018,000 1919 .... .....1,142,044,011 1st 6 mos. 1920 17,568,332,000 Ist 6 mos. 1920. . 568,884,894 GROSS TON MILCS OF FREIGHT FOR THE MONTH OF MAY, 1920, *” < WERE 3,253,66-4,000, THE LARGEST FOR ANY ONE MONTH pee IN THERBSTORY OF Ti kom ents Soe re a JUNE WAS A CLOSE SECOND. The Illinois Central is but one rail road system out of many. I do not ‘claim that its performances are any exception to the rule. No doubt many railroad systems have done as well, and perhaps some have done better than has the Illinois Central. The Illinois Central personnel is anxious to serve the public even bet- ter in the future, and very earnest ef forts are being put forth in that di- rection; but I hope our patrons fully appreciate that it will take time to restore our equipment and enlarge our facilities. 1 promise them that no time will be wasted. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. nha CoH MARKHAM, ** Pre sident, Ilinois Central Railroad Co.
