Chicago, Dec. 15.—More than 70,000 Negro laborers of Chicago and vicinity have agreed to accept a reduction in wages rather than loose their jobs on account of reduced production. R. E. Parker president of the American Unity Labor Union, announced to-day. He said the union controlled more than 50,000 skilled and unskilled workers in the stockyards here, the steel mills at Gary, Ind., and in foundaries, factories and docks in and about Chicago. According to Parker, officials of the union have agreed on a 10 per cent reduction of unskilled laborers and a 15 per cent cut for skilled laborers. The proposition was decided upon, Parker said, as a means of preventing unemployment and lessening crime due to lack of work. He declared there were 100,000 unemployed Negroes in Chicago and vicinity. John C. Dancey Dies. Washington, D. C., Dec. 15, John C.

At least that is the opinion of Murray Forst Thompson a fresh man at the West Philadelphia, High school. Murray had just inherited the entire estate of his grandfather. Joseph M.

Citizens of Fincastle, headed by Deputy Sheriff Caldwell, Sunday and tonight searched the surround ing aountry for Edmund Thompson, a negro. Thompson made a spectacular escape late last night when a mob attempted to take him from the Deputy Sheriff, who had arrested the negro on a charge of having fired into a crowd of white boys several hours earlier, fatally wounding one and seriously injuring three others. After arresting Thompson at the home of his father, Deputy Sheriff Caldwell and County Clerk McDowell started to Roanoke to place their prisoner in safe keeping race haired having been engenderd in Fincastle by the shooting of the four boys. The two officers were intercepted twelve miles from here by a mob of 100 men, who forced the officers to return here, and then demanded the prisoner. In the midst of a dispute between the Deputy Sheriff and the members of the mob, an unidentified man pushed through the crowd, rushed up to the automobile containing the prisoner and shouted: "If you are going to lynch him, do it now." With that the men fired in the direction of the negro. In the confusion that followed the negro jun ped from the automobile and fled in the darkness. Several shots were fired, after him, but many of the members of the mob had taken refuge in a nearby building. Bloodhounds were said to have trailed the negro to his father's house, but no trace of him was found there. Thompson was accused of having shot the boys after one of them had thrown a lighted firecracker at his feet. The most seriously wounded of the four, Peck Austin, age 17, died soon after reaching a Roanoke hospital. The others are expected to recover Boston, Mass., Dec. 19.—Gov.

The bird of Paradise which has such a coat of beautiful feathers cannot fly with the wind if it attempts to do so, the current being much switer than its flight so ruffles its feathers as to impede its progress and finally to terminate it, it is therefore compelled to fly against the wind which keeps its feathers in their place and thus it gains the place where it would be. So it is with the Christian; the Christian must not attempt to go with the current of a sinful world, if he does it will not only hinder but it will end his religious progress. He must not go that way to expect success, you know when the world gets you going its way they only laugh at you and point you out to others and say he has fooled too long on the sinner's play ground. There is nothing to him, and it is the truth when you fool off your time with the world there is nothing to you but worldliness; but we must go against it and then everyeffort of our soul will surely be upward and heavenward.

C. this morning brought the sad intelligence of the death of Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D., of that city at eleven o'clock today. Dr. Durham was one of the strongest leaders of the State, having been a pastor for more than a quarter of a century. He was prominent in Baptist Circles of South Carolina and served in almost every capacity for his brethren in state. His last position was that of President, which he held until he retired. He was a strong believer in the Unincorporated National Baptist Convention and a staunch supporter of the Denomitical work, a ripe scholar and a deep thinder. He was one of the early graduates from the literary department and medicine from two of Nashville's institutions of learning. H. A. Boyd. Supreme Court Take Recess Dec. 20, to Jan. 3rd.

I preached last night and had two to acknowledge the Saviour. The outlook is good for a great meeting. I'll let you hear from us again next week. Yours as ever, C. W. Norment. Albany, Ga., Dec. 4—Judge J R. Wilson, of the Dougherty County Superior Court, has ordered the convening of a special grand jury to invigrate and check the reign of lawlessness here. This was only once and J E. Adams, one of K v. Simmons' Ku-Kluk Kau of Worth County, had been shot down and in cantle killed by Orphelia Micklevey, a colored woman, who has not since been apprehended. There has been lots of night-riding here up to this occurrence, with acts of lawlessness against inoffensive colored families for out and out robbery Col. Simmons' klans were handed to gather to rob and collect whiskey and seal anything they can from black and white people. Besides convening the grand jury to make through investigation Judge Wilson inspected Sheriff Tarver to summon as many deputies as might be needed to police the district, so as to afford protection to the residents, white and black. He said he proposed to make it entirely safe for Negroes to return to their homes and to remain. The action of Judge Wilson is being commended Centralia. Centralia, Ill., Dec. 20., 1920. Rev J.

This comes to say my tours through the Southern parts of the State in the interest of our State work has met with much success, yea beyond my anticipation. The brethren where I have been have met me with open doors, hands and hearts, and the interest that is being manifested for our State Work has been an eye opener to me, since I have been out for our State work. May God bless the brethren so the good work may go on. But listen Brethren, I regret very much that I cannot come to all of my brethren and do justice to my own pastorate, and yet, I must reach you some way before our meeting in Evanston, May next. So I am trying to reach you by this letter to say I am asking all of the churches that are affiliating with our State Association to give your humble servant at least a five or ten dollar hearing if I get there in person, and if I cannot get there in person but come thru the mail please give me the same consideration as if I were there in person. I am doing what I can to make our next meeting a financial success. May I have your cooperation? God bless all for everymore. W. P. Washington. Money Long in Use. Bindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Peruis offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridgergrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

Well, I'm sure I don't know why those dark places are on my hands; why, I just washed them. Ouch! Don't brush my hair so hard! Well, the place that sticks up is right over the bump, so that's why I couldn't brush it there. No, I haven't done my nails yet; I was just getting ready to when you made me wash my hands again. I don't need anything. Well, then, just a sweater, not my overcoat. Aw, gee! No. I don't know where my gloves are; I don't need them, anyhow. Gosh, not my rubbers! Aw, mother! The mud isn't very deep, and it takes about a year to put the darn things on. Gee whiz. Well, g'by! Yes, I am hurrying. Well, I'm gonna start right off, soon as I speak to Bill a minute; he's right up at the corner, and he might be going my way. Aw, why not? Well, s'long! (Departes with the hug and smile that cancel all his sins, and a great peace settles upon the household.)— Life. "RODEOS" FULL OF INTEREST Exceedingly Interesting Annual Exhibitions That Are Held North of the Arctic Circle. In the vicinity of the Kobuk river, Alaska, 50 miles north of the Arctic circle, there are held annual "recloes," which for picturesqueness, skill of exhibitions, and in popularity are comparable to the "roundups" of the western part of the United States—yet there is not a single horse or steer or saddle or "six-gun" within hundreds of miles of the scene. These rodeos are conducted under the auspices of the United States bureau of education for natives of Alaska, for the advancement of the reindeer industry. There are 150,000 reindeer in the territory, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. At the fair all matter pertaining to reindeers are discussed, and the herders come to an understanding regarding grazing ground eights and similar matters. Government representatives give talks on reindeer breeding and offer scientific guidance for the development of an improved stock. Recently serious consideration has been given to a means of exporting the growing thousands of surplus deer to the United States. Within the next year or two, it is anticipated, a market for distributing the meat will be established in the United States. It costs less than $3 per head to raise deer, which will dress 150 pounds of cholecest meat. ful, Ornametal and Our Line of Jewelry more Pleasing for nice jewelry.
