METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE LA. LYNCHES A NEGRO. OLD RAMBLER VISITS CARBONDALE, AND CENTRALIA CHURCHES Raleigh, N. C. February 1.—Sarah Wycoff 76 years old, is dead today in the State Prison, after 42 years imprisonment, during which she five times declined a pardon at the hands of as many governors, and after she had lived learn that a death bed confession had completely exonerated her of the charge for which she was sentenced. Forty-two years ago Sarah Wyckoff entered the State Prison to serve a life sentence, as the couvicted accomplice in the murder of her husband Wesley Wycoff, in Two White Men Assault Young Colored Woman There was much indiguity expressed around the City Hall Wednesday of this week, when it was learned that a warrant had been refused the police in the case of two white men who were charged with criminal assault upon a colored woman. Mrs. Dessimer Turman of 2235 Adams Street stated to an Argus reporter that she was passing 2715 Locust street, when one of the men called to her, saying his wife wanted a girl to do house work, and invited her in. On entering the house she states the man shut the door and pushed her into the front room. When she protested he offered her whisky. Then she threatened to call the police, at that time another man and told her if she made an out cry they would cut her throat, turning to a drawer and producing a razor. When she saw the razor she fell to her knees and begged them not to kill her but continued to fight every time either of them put their hands upon her. She said that during her scuffle with the men she managed to back up against a window which she raised and fell backward injuring herself so that she was taken to the hospital. The woman next door heard her cities and went to her rescue but the men fled. On her description, the police arrested Louis B. Keasler and Cecil Potter (white) who resides at 2715 Locust, who admitted that they had been in the room with the woman, but denied assaulting her. When the police applied for a warrant at the Prosecuting Attorney's office it was denied the officer stating that the evidence was not sufficient to convict. The police then took the case to police court on a charge of du- Alexander county, in the mountains of North Carolina. The convicted principal, a negro, was hanged. Three years ago from the mountains came word that a death bed confessions had absolved the woman of connection with the tragedy. Then, for the fifth time, she refused a pardon explaining that she was being treated well that time had shattered all relations with her family in the mountains and that she preferred to spend her last days, mid surroundings she had learned to know so well. turbing the peace. On a change of venue the case came up Wednesday in Judge Mix's Court. After hearing the testimony of the woman and the men Judge Mix called the men to the bench and rebuked, them telling them he did not believe a word they said in the case, and he believed them guilty. He then assessed the limit fine upon them of $30.00 each. The men were so glad to get off with the fine, until they did not even take an appeal, but paid the fine. The men stated that they were from Alabama intimating that colored men had no standing in that state. Mrs. Turman lives with her husband at 2235 Adams street. He works for the Pullman Company as car cleaner. They have been married for two years and came to this city about two months ago from Oktalono, Miss. The local branch of the National Association for the advancement of Colored people will be asked to look into the case.—St. Louis Arus.

Olive Baptist Association of Southern Illinois Grand Chaplain of Prince Hall Masonic Grand Lodge of III. Past Grand Patron of Eureka Grand Chapter O. F. S. "OLD RAMBLER." Rambler, left Metropolis, Saturday at 9:30 a. m. Jan. 29th enroute to Carbondale and Centralia, where we were programmed to preach at eleven and 7:30 p.m. on invitation by the pastors, Drs. Moody and Carter. We were on our annual visit and inspection tour as we put it, for the purpose of encouraging the hard working and splendid pastors that are standing as leaders of the Baptist churches of the Mt. Olive Associational district and advising with them as to how to make the district and state work a greater success in 1921. We hope to visit every church in the district once at least before the Association, Brethren, just command me and I will try to come to you. We arrived at Carbondale at 12:40 p: m. and went to the parsonage where I found Mrs. Wm. Moody wife of the pastor, who invited us in and entertained us for a while, then we went to Rev. and Mrs. A. J. Bowers, on Illinois, our old friends where we made it our home until we took our leave on the morrow (Sunday) at 1:25 p. m. when we took our leave for Centralia. We were royally entertained by the host, hostess and Miss Vivian, who is teaching at Ward but who spends her Saturdays and Sundays at home with her parents. Their other daughter Miss Willie was not at home as she is teaching in Golconda. We in company of Rev. Bowers, spent a few minutes in the restaurant of Mr. M. Jones on N. Illinois aye, which is located about two blocks from the Ill., Station. We think this place of business quite inviting, clean and well lighted. This is a splendid place for you to find a lunch or bed when in that city. We then went to the home of Rev. A. A. Crim, pastor of the Free Baptist church, and found he and family well and prospering in his pastoral work. Sunday morning we attended S. S. at Rock Hill Baptist church taught the Senior class and addressed the school in short followed by Rev. A. J. Bowers. We found the school very much alive in many instances with W. D. Parran, Supt. They have a corps of wide awake teachers, holding their regular weekly meeting which is essential in every S. S. as no teachers are fully equipped unless they attend teachers meeting. We very much enjoyed the lesson and explanations given. Bro. Alonza English teacher of the Senior class is a highly efficient teacher. At 11:00 the choir furnished music with Mrs. Hattie English, at the organ. Rev. A. J. Bowers read the scripture lesson and offered prayer, then followed music, afterwhich a very flattering introduction was given by pastor Moody who is in a class to himself in Carbondale when it comes to raising money also who is a pastor and preacher of no mean ability. We preached for about 40 minutes and held the audience in wrap attention at the conclusion of the sermon we were highly complimented by the pastors and members. The doors of the church was opened and we received Elders A. J. Bowers and Wm. Moody into the care of the church. Rev. Moody has and is doing a good work as pastor of Rock Hill Baptist church. They are looking forward to the association in September and say ARKANSAS MAKES BANK ROBBERY CAPITAL CRIME Little Rock, Ark; Feb. 1—The senate this afternoon passed wiltoht a dissenting vote a bill providing capital punishment for bank robbery.

Lashes For Robbers Dover, Del., Feb. 1—The Delaware state senate today passed a bill making the penalty for highway robbery forty lashes on the bare back, not less than twenty years imprisonment, and a fine of $500. The vote on the measure was unanimous. they are going to pass the pace set by the Rev. Dr. Carter and the 2nd Baptist church, Centralia last year. But they will have to go "some" to do it. After returning to Rev. Bowers and getting dinner we left at 1:25 p. m. for Centralia to be with Rev. Carter at night. Lynch Negro Who Shot Louisiana Rice Planter Placquemine, La, Feb. 2—George Werner, Negro, who shot and dangerously wounded Normal Tircuim, a rice planter, Monday was taken from the parish jail at Port Allen last night by a group We arrived at Centralia at 2:30 p. m. and was met at the station by Dr. W. H. Carter pastor of the 2nd Baptist church, who after showing us through the new beautiful I. C. Station, escorted us to his home where we rested for a while, then we went to the church where we found the Mission Society in session presided over by Mrs. Leake and found several sinners at the bench crying for mercy. At the conclusion of the program we addressed the meeting in a brief way. We are informed that they had a successful revival underway with about 30 converts and additions which was the result of four weeks and the interest was still high with nine seekers at the bench. We preached at 7:30 p. m. to a large congregation filling the main auditorium of the beautiful and most modern church edifice in Southern Illinois. The membership and congregation of the 2nd Baptist church are a highly cultured people and are doing things that count under the wist council and splendid leadership of Dr. Carter, their pastor. He is one of the best pastors the church has ever had and still there are a few grumblers there as in all other congregations. Generally coming from those who sit around and find fault xith every good effort put forth by the church and pastor. This church is in a good working condition with all auxiliaries in splendid shape. We gained a deal of useful information and encouragement on this trip, things that would do to put into execution in the church that we are trying to lead. We were guest of the pastor, Deacon Ferguson and Bro. and sifter J. W. Corneal during our stay in the city. We left Monday at 9:25 a.m. for home feeling that our trip had not been in vain. Who will be the next to invite us? Rambling Moderator. Mrs. Pearl stewart, of Shady Grove was in the city Wednesday visiting friends. Rev. Thos.

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 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 Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists. 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

CONDEMN HIGH PRIGED STOCK FOODS Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices Charged Are Unwarranted-Makes His Own Food With Better Results "Tbat he is all through paying fancy prices for stock foods and eog remedies and that he is raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market" was the statement made recently by E. H. Beckstead, Well known hog raiser and authority on live stock. Mr. Beckstead's, hogs are the envy of his neighbors, and have "topped the market" for several years in Iowa. He states that for years he bought high-priced hog foods and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the secret of his wonderful success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrated minerals and cost only a couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hundred pounds. All hogs, and especially brood sows require minerals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of condition, and are essential to the hogs growth and a well balanced ration. This inexpensive mixture placed in a sheltered box where the hogs can get at as they need it, will produce far better results than any high priced so called stock foods. Send two dollars to The Mineraline Chemical Co., 1638 North Wells St. Chicago, Ill., and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough minerline to make a full hundred pounds. (Adv.)

Increase in World's Crops. A bulletin issued by the international institute of agriculture announces that the aggregate wheat and rye crops of the northern hemisphere total 62,400,000 metric tons, as against 61,700,000 metric tons in 1919. The production of barley, according to the bulletin was 8 per cent larger than last year, while oats increased 21 per cent. The maize crop of southern Europe was good, and that in America 10 per cent more than last year. The probable yield of beet sugar is considered favorable by the institute. The export of 400,000 tons of wheat from British India is advocated by the institute. Mabel and Myrtle.
