Mississippi Mob Lynches Wrong Men For Assault Jail Guard, Who Was Attacked By Prisoners, Declares Negroes Who Were Hanged By Mob Were Not Guilt. Right Man Corrinth, Miss., Sept. 15. At a mass meeting held at the First Baptist church here, in which the best citizens of the city and county attended. Resolutions were passed condemning the mob which held a pistol on jailor J D. King and forced him to turn over Blutcher Higgins and Dan Callicut, Negroes, and then hanged them to a telegraph pole. Hundreds of citizens, known not to have participated in the lynching were summoned to be examined for service on the jury which met Monday and may last all week and it is expected arrests will be made. James Whitehurst, the guard who was assaulted by one of the four Negro prisoners who escaped from the jail, declared that neither of the Negros who were hanged were implicated in the assault upon him.

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 $25,000 000 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. Read The Gazette; $2.00 PAPER READ BY MRS. MARY GREGORX, IN THE S. S. INTTITUTE, COLP, ILLINOIS. Great men make great countries but in order to have great men, there must be great boys. How shall this be accomplished? The answer is obvious. All can see that the boy cannot be greater than the home that shapes and molds his character for life. The earliest impression is the most lasting. Home is the place where the boy receives his first idea of life. If it is not pure, upright and properly directed, then the boy who comes from it, cannot and will not make an ideal man. The boy should be taught at the very earliest moment of his life to love home above all places. Too often is just the opposite. No room is prepared for him in the home, or if it is prepared st all it is merely done with the meanest of furniture. No cares or pains are taken with him and room. He receives no smiles from home and often driven away by both mother and sister, if seen in certain parts of the house. He soon learns that he is the undesirable member of the family and instead oi loving home, he lovss alar off to roam. Is it not nature if smiles neat and pleasant surroundings are denied him at home, he will seek them elsewhere? Why should not things be kept neat around him? If things are not thus kept in the home where he is reared when he becomes a man, will he love such a home as the one in which he was reared? He is told that he is a boy and stand anything, allowed to go any where and at any time. No earnest hand to guide him, no natural smile and caresses to soothe his longing suite. With lavish and unpleasant voices he is bidden to go out of sight. It is a wonder that such a boy becomes a heaviness to his father and a burden to himself and society. Those who have pure motives and conduct must be the associates of the boy. He is not likely to soar higher than this associates. Nor will the home be able to direct him if allowed to associate with boys of doubtful character. No garment can be kept clean, regardlese to how much we brush it, if the air is filled with dust. We may hope in vain for better homes for better races so long as the home neglects the boys. M. Duncan, President. Farm for rent—160 acres in central Montana, 1 1-2 miles from P.

Let both factions of Illinois Republicans get together for the success of the party is more vital to us all than whehter Thompson or Lowden should rule. We are afraid the Chicago Tribune will make it hard for Illinois Republicans by its dictation and agitation. This same paper did Gov. Lowden more damage than good in the presidential canvass. The results of the Republican primary of the 15th inst. is as much in a muddle now as ever as it who was nominated governor, Small or Oglesby.

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 cartarrhaj 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 Catarrah Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O. By Associated Negro Press. We have received many encouraging letters as to our stand for the Old time Baptist Faith, from laymen and the clergy not only in our Discrict, but thruout Illinois, telling us they are with us. We have the everlasting words of Christ, telling us He would be with us always, and to preach the Gospel, and we do though the heavens fall. Thanks for words of confidence.

Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Lowery of Centralia, were in the city Saturday to see Rev. Edgar S. McCrary the latter's cousin. 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. "Be Ye Sure Your Sins Will Rev. Thomas Morris, visited his charge, in New Brownfield. Sunday and had a good meeting. Rev. Thomas Harmon, visited the Green Valley Baptist church, Vie na, Sunday. Percy McCallister, returned from St. Louis, Mo, Sunday to enter school, bringing with him a little niece. Joe Duncan, returned to Saint Louis, Mo, Sunday after visiting his mother and relatives 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. MAKING WAR ON DISEASE MENACE American Red Cross Announces Budget of $48,200,000 For Current Year. NEW DISASTER RELIEF PLAN Continuance of Heavy Work Abroad Deemed Necessary to Protect United States—$21,000,000 Lesser Than Last Year. A program of relief and service toward which appropriations of $48,200,000 have been made has been outlined for the American Red Cross for the fiscal year, July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921, according to official announcement by national headquarters of the organization at Washington. The figures for 1920-21 are $21,000,000 below those of 1919-20, in which $69,400,000 was spent. Important among the items of the budget for the present year is the appropriation of $51,500,000 for relief in foreign lands, which includes $11,000,000 in purchased supplies on hand and not distributed. This will enable the American Red Cross to continue its humanitarian effort to aid stricken peoples to re-establish themselves, to fight the disease epidemics which threaten many countries and to efface largely the remaining traces of the blight left by the World War. It is regarded as social as well as physical sanitation on a large scale that will have a direct bearing on future conditions in America. Subscribe for The Gazette. Now M. B. REV. C. W.

It is becoming every more difficult for the man who standard the west forces will gather. "Governor Edward is a John. A drunkard in the last stages of delirium knows that Edward has no chance of nomination. Senator Mitchell did not have any chance even before the Nebraska election to lose. Governor Cox is their man and he has fairly won the dishonor that he seeks. "After disgraging his State he despises to serve a nation. For years the men engaged in the liquor business have been the real amancidists of the country, far more dangerous than the professors. Governor Cox has become their candidate." "His nomination would make the Democratic Party the leader of the lawless element of the country and his election, if, such a thing were good, would it be possible to override the law who defy the Government and hold law in contempt. "There is no likelihood of this nomination and no chance of his election if Democrat be willing to support a man whose nomination would insult the conscience of the nation, the publication is a triumph of the nation's conscience."
