TO THE VOTERS I am a candidate for the office of county commissioner, and the county is large and the time in which we have to see you personally, and solicit your vote is short, therefore, I find it impossible to canvass the territory and see you all personally as I desire to do so before Sept. 15th., the date of the primary. Therefore, I ask you, through the columns of this paper, to consider my claims and cast your vote for me on the date set forth, and I assure you that I will appreciate it very much and will give an efficient administration, if nominated and elected next November, and prove a friend to all. I earnestly appeal to the women, if you don't know me inquire of my friends and neighbors; look up my history and be convinced that I am able to give you able service. I am very truly yours. WILL V.

HARDING GLAD AMERICANS ARE A FREE PEOPLE In Speech to Indiana Delegation Republican Nominee Declares for Security at Home. EUROPE HAS EVEN NOW QUIT WILSON'S LEAGUE Yet Democratic Party Leaders Would Have Us Bound by Original Pact With No American Safeguards. "STEADY AMERICA!" "Mindful of our splendid example and renewing every obligation of association in war, I want America to be the rock of security at home, resolute in righteousness and unalterable in security and supremacy of the law. "Let us be done with wiggling and webbing. Steady America! Let us secure good fortune to all." —Senator Warren G. Harding in an address before the Indiana delegation at Marion. Marlon, O. (Special.)—Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican nominee for President, in a speech delivered to a delegation from Indiana which called on him here to pledge the support of Indiana Republicans, declared that twice President Wilson had an opportunity to obtain ratification of the League of Nations covenant and that he put ratification aside because he would not accept reservations designed solely to safeguard American rights. Senator Harding said: "I greet you in a spirit of rejoicing; not a rejoicing in the narrow personal or partisan sense, not in the gratifying prospects of party triumph; not in the contemplation of abundance in the harvest fields and ripening corn fields and maturing orchards; not in the reassuring approach of stability after a period of wigging and wobbling when magnified our uncertainty—though all of these are ample for our wide rejoicing—but I rejoice that America is still free and independent and in a position of self-reliance and holds to the right of self-determination, which are priceless possessions in the present turbulence of the world. "Let us suppose the senate had ratified the peace treaty containing the league covenant as submitted to it by the president in July of last year; what would be the situation concerning our common country today? To my mind there is but one answer. Before this day we would have been called upon to fulfill the obligations which we had assumed under Article 10 of the league covenant, to preserve the territorial integrity of Poland 'as against external aggression.' Sympathy for Poland. "I shall not now attempt to measure the boundless sympathy for the just aspirations and restored independence of Poland. Our present concern is the international situation which Poland has brought to our attention." "The council of the League of Nations would have reasoned, and reasoned correctly, that the United States could furnish the munitions and, if necessary, the men to withstand the advancing hordes from Russia far more easily than could the exhausted nations, of Europe. Hereover, less much as this would be the first test of the scheme of world government which was formulated and demanded by the President, speaking for the United States, the fact of a special responsibility, resting upon our shoulders, manifestly would have been undeniable. Undoubtedly the league council, in 'advising upon the means' by which the obligations to Poland should be fulfilled, as provided in the Subscribe for the Gazette MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." LEN.SMALL FOR GOVERNOR HONEST-CAPABLE-INDEPENDENT LEN. SMALL Favors the election of Warren G. Harding for President and Calvin Coolidge for Vice President, and ridding the country of Democratic misrule. Is opposed to compulsory military service. Favors United States getting out of Europe and staying out. He favors repealing the present Public Utilities act, thereby giving to all cities Home Rule in the regulation and control of Public Utilities. He favors co-operative buying and selling which will insure to the producer a fair price for his labor and commodities and save to the consumer the enterprise profits of the corrupt combine, speculators and profiteers. A Vote for Le PRIMARY, W WHAT NEWSPAPERS SAY OF LEN SMALL Blandville Star Gazette—There is just one big issue; and if taxpayers and users of telephones and electric lights and street cars come to understand it fully and understand that these fellows had the gall to appoint Oglesby for us as their champions of these commissions Mr. Oglesby will have hard sledding. Schuyler Citizen, Rushville, Ill.—But when the (Chicago) Tribune presumes to dictate to us as to our political rights to decide between Len. Small and John G. Oglesby, both downstate candidates for governor, by picturing Mr. Small as nothing more than a mere tool of Mayor Thompson, then we feel that we have just grievance against this attitude whether taken by "the World's Greatest Newspaper" or any other newspaper. Ogle County Republican—Len Small has no scars that can be uncovered to haunt him—mental, moral or physical. Alton Daily Times—The presence of fMr. Small in public affairs is nothing new, as in several capacities he has proved his possession of rare capability in directing and executing commissions. He is honest, capable and reliable. Gillispie News—Takes a smart man to keep up with Len Small. Streator Daily Independent-Time—What the taxpayer is particularly interested in is the charge of the Thompsonites that Lowden is so thoroughly steeped and surrounded by corporation interests that the big corporations of the state are allowed to escape their share of taxes and the small tax payer is correspondingly burdened. Chicago Daily Journal—He (Len Small) is known by name, if not by person, to every farmer in Illinois who takes interest in the exhibition of the products of the soil, in horses, cattle, sheep and swine. Owner of extensive farms himself, Mr. Small has worked night and day to put Illinois at the front of the nation's --- LEN. SMALL Practical Farmer Successful Dairyman Experienced Business Man Candidate for the Republican Nomination FOR GOVERNOR of Illinois His Record Is One of Faithful and Fearless Public Service agricultural states. Streator Free Press—Mr. Small would bring to the office of governor or the same practical wisdom and efficiency that has characterized him in his own affairs. Granville Echo—We are for Len Small for governor because we believe he is the best man for the job now before the peepole. Bloomington Pantagraph—Governor Lowden can prove his sincerity by refusing to be influenced longer by Senator L. Y. Sherman and the satellites of the Chicago Tribune. With the slate he is attempting to force on the people of Illinois and the counsellors that surround him at the present time, he is in no position to attack the Thompson organization or any other organization on the grounds of "pernicious politics." Centralia, Ill. We beg leave to report making all all necessary arrangements for the convention; Will each church kindly notify J. R. Scott, 415 N. Oak St., clerk, as to the number of messengers, including name and address, and we will mail you a card which you will please bring with you. This will enable us to assign each messenger and prevent any misunderstanding. Mr. W. H. Bibb, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bibb, passed away Thursday morning. Mr. Bibb leaves a wife, three children and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Carter. Rev. J. N. Washing'on, of Tennessee, delivered an able sermon Sunday evening. The church induced him to stay over and preach Tuesday evening. We remain yours in Christ Rev. W. H. Carter, pastor J. Scott, Clerk LEN. SMALL Promises rapidly to push to completion the hard road system of Illinois. He will pull Illinois out of the mud. He stands for the Americanism of Washington and Republicanism of Lincoln. He demands a more even distribution of the burden of taxation, and punishment of the rich tax-dodgers who attempt to evade paying their just share of the expense of government. He is opposed to any permanent alliance with any part of the foreign world. He favors immediate action toward the payment of a liberal bonus to the soldiers, sailors and marines who serviced in the late war. He believes that American citizens should be exempt from federal taxation on all incomes of less than $5,000 per year. PUBLIC UTILITIES MERCILESSLY GOUGE PEOPLE PUBLIC UTILITIES MERCILESSLY GOUGE PEOPLE The present state campaign has resulted in revelations which have amazed the people of Illinois. It has brought to light information regarding the taxing bodies and the public utilities commission of which the average voter had no idea. The ordinary voter knows that the taxes have increased and that at the same time telephone rates, water, gas and electric light rates and street car fares have steadily been increased. The cause of these increases has been shown by the Chicago Teachers' federation, which has vigorously protested against the actions of the present tax commission and the present public utilities commission. Len. Small, candidate for governor, has come out squarely and advocated abolishing the present state public utilities commission. In his letter of announcement he says: "I further pledge the people of Illinois that with their approval I shall urge in my inaugural message the immediate repeal of the act creating the present public utilities commission and the enactment in its stand of a law giving to all cities in Illinois the right of home rule in the regulation and control of their public utilities." Negro Accused of an Attack. Lynched Claimed Made That Mother Frightened Man Away Before Child was Harmed But His Life Was Taken Graham, N.C., August 25. Accused of attempting an attack on a 4 year old girl, John Jeffress, a Negro, was shot to death near here today by a mob of fifty men, who overpowered the sheriff and six deputies as they were transferring the Negro to the Count-house for a preliminary hearing. Jeffries was taken by the mob about a mile and a half outside of Graham and his body riddled with bullets. The alleged attack on the child took place early today near the little girl's home. Cries of her mother were said to have frightened the Negro away before the child was harmed. New Negro Bank Elizabeth City, N. C., Aug 25, The first exclusively Negro banking house in northwestern N. Carolina, opened its doors in this city last Saturday morning. The bank is known as the Albemarie Bank and has a paid up capital of $25,000 all of which wss subscrib d by Negroes in this vicinity. The president of the bank is Dr. E. L. Boffler and the Cashier is W. A. Holland formerly of Porthsmouth, Va. TO THE COLORED VOTER There are running on the Republican Ticket for members of the Legislature, who are asking for and will appreciate your vote, as follows: Clade F. Lacey, of Metropolis; K. C. Ronalds, of Eldorado; Claire L. Rew, Harrisburg, two to be elected. We understand that Roy Sommers, of Clay county, is running for the same office, as he feels that he can get along and be elected without the Negroes' votere and therefore is not putting himself to any trouble to ask Negroes to vote for him as the other candidates are doing. You had better elect men to office who are your friends if you want a fair deal in the law making bodies and the courts of our land. Remember that everthing that glitters is not gold. Slave Brings $275. Tuscaloosa, Ala., Aug. 13.—S M. Weatherford, has a copy of a bill of sale of a Negro girl, 6 years old, which was found among the papers of the late Devereaux daown, known to so many people in this county. It was a very short document, but it conveyed the child, as was the custon, when slavery was in existence here in Tuscaloosa, as follows: "Tuscaloose, Ala., June 29, A D. 1845 Received of John A. Brown, 275, payment in full for a Negro girl named Sarah Ann. 6 years and about 4 months old, which I warrant to be sound in mind and body and a slave for life.

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 that deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrh. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mousc 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. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, 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.

Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employ- ment 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 re- tain 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.

Notice. Be it known to all the churches affiliating with the Mt. 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 churches affiliating with the above named associations as such. 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.

Can't you hear Aim calling you as loud as peals of thunder. The harvest is great but the laborers are few? Go work in my vineyard, are his words. Be like Nehemiah, tell them that you are doing a great work and you can't come down We shall try and make this Associational year a banner one. Wake up and let us go over the top for God.

Read Heb. 12.1 if we obey that verse we will have no time to do anything to any, body, talk or write about anybody, only that which is good or edifying or will lift up some one. I hope that all the churches that were in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association are still with the old mother. I believe that you are, if not I love you still. I ask the pastors of our district to let us look in on you at your earliest convenience. Yours for the Master, Laura A. Leake, Pres., of Dist. W. E. & M, 603 Cormick St., Centralia, Ill.
