NOT MUCH BUT IT HELPS
Washington. Two recent sales of small abandoned camps have been made by the War Department. These camps were located at Rich Field, Waco, Texas, and at Barron Field, Texas. They were stripped of everything any other department of the government could use, and all that remained was the bare buildings, with a small amount of less valuable fixtures. The sale netted the government $45,500.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION OPENS
Forty-first Annual Session Begins at New Orleans, La., at Twelve O'clock Wed.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 7th. (Special.) Thousands of Baptists from forty-one states in the Union are here in the forty-first annual Convention. The Crescent City is all decorated for the occasion. Special trains and special coaches bearing delegations have been arriving in this city since Tuesday morning. There was an auspic opening of the Convention at 12 o'clock today when Rev. Edward P. Jones, of Evanston, Illinois called the body together. There was a fervent devotion conducted by Dr. Campbell of South Carolina, and Dr Bloodworth of Tennessee. President Jones made a brief announcement and appointed his committees on the various phases of convention work.
N. thing was done in the way of legislation until the committees reported. There was an introductory sermon by Dr. Dr ne of Illinois. While the committees were out deliberating, the spiritual atmosphere was at its highest pitch, and the great National Baptist Chorus rendered many selections. There were more than five hundred voices rendering selections from the songs of Negro origin. The morning service went up
NEGRO CONVENTION THROWN INTO PANIC WHEN TWO ARE SHOT
Husband Fires Bullets Into Wife and Perhaps Fatally Wounds Visitor.
Five thousand negroes attending the night session of the National Baptist Convention in Freemen's Auditorium, Audubon street near Pritchard street, were thrown into a panic Sunday evening at 7:15 o'clock when Dave Miller, 40-year-old negro, 830 Orange street, invaded the auditorium and fired three shots at his wife seriously wounding her. Dr. C. J. W. Boyd, 44 of Nashville, Tenn., training school secretary of the convention, was struck in the lung by a stray bullet and probably fatally wounded.
Dr. F. R. Prince of Texas was addressing the convention at the time. A scene of wild confusion followed the shooting, several women fainting, and the majority of the delegates and local visitors seeking refuge under benches and tables. It was an hour before the convention leaders had succeeded in quieting the assemblage so that the program could be resumed. Miller's gun was wrested from him by a negro standing nearby and Miller ran from the auditorium. He was later captured by Patrolmen Graft and Grunewald of the Ninth Precinct and charged with shooting and dangerously wounding. Dr. Boyd and Janie Miller, the woman, were sent to the Charity Hospital. Boyd's wound is believed to be fatal. The woman was shot in the hip and in the back and may die.
until two in the afternoon after a partial report of the enrollment committee had been submitted to the Convention. They re-assembled at 3:30 with devotions by Dr. Caldwell of Oklahoma, Drs Moore of Florida and Davis of Missouri. The enrollment committee completed its report and the Convention went immediately into business session. The feat of the afternoon meeting was the annual address of Dr. E. P. Jones, which was made in the presence of approximately four thousand messengers. President Jones told of the great work of the Convention and the splendid outlook for the Baptist family. The night session was begun at 7:30, the devotions were led by Drs. Reed of Texas, Washington of Illinois and Sills of Louisiana.
The first one of the reports of the various Board's secretaries was that of the corresponding secretary Dr S. S. Jones of Oklahoma, and the auditor and statistician, Dr. Beckham of Illinois. The local committee took charge at nine o'clock; they gave their welcome which was led by Dr. Hill of Monroe, with response by various convention leaders.
At the hospital the Miller woman told the police she had been separated from her husband six months. Sunday, she declared he threatened to shoot her if she went to the convention meeting.
He had been following her around all day, she said.
Shortly after the convention opened Miller entered the auditorium and spying his wife, who was standing in the rear of the hall opened fire on her from a distance of six feet. Two of the bullets struck the woman and the third hit Dr. Boyd, who was standing a few feet away. —Times, New Orleans, La
South Reports Prosperity.
Memphis, Tenn.—The consensus of opinion of those in attendance at the annual convention of the Cotton State Merchants' Association, which has just adjourned its sessions here, is that trade revival is no longer a matter of doubt. Reports throughout the South, show that farmers are making the biggest and cheapest crop they have made in years. There has been a heavy reduction in cotton acreage and a corresponding increase in the production of food crops for mac and forage crops for animals. This condition makes the South more self sustaining than at any period in recent years and releases the money realized on cotton for use in liquidation of debts of purchase of supplies other than food. As a result, merchants are buying liberty for fall and winter trade.

QUALIFIES IN ILLINOIS
Liberty Life Insurance Company Begins Business
Information has come to this office that the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, completed its organization and compiled with the laws of the state of Illinois in July when they deposited $100,000 in first mortgages property owned by Negroes with the state of Illinois, and that they are now issuing policies ranging from $500.00 up to $10,000.00. It is learned that a complete agency force has been placed at work and that they are pushing things rapidly. Mr. Frank L. Gille-pie, the president, is sending out personal letters together with a new booklet giving illustrations and pictures of the quarters, the interior and exterior of the main office. They are domiciled in the Roosevelt State Bank Building at Grand Blyd and 35th Street. It is understood here that a large number of the shares of the company has been disposed, of and there is a campaign on to clean up the entire issue by November first.
We had a grand time in our rally, we raised $55,42. We are getting ready for the Association at Carbondale.
Rev. Resnoe, preached an able sermon and the church was made to rejoice, we hope he will come again.
President Washington Fleeced Out of $23.00, While in New Orleans.
Dr. W. P. Washington, Moderator of the General Baptist State
Rev. T. Turner, passed through here Friday enroute to Mt Vernon.
WHEAT MONEY IN NORTHWEST
ST. Paul.—The grain crop of this territory will be in excess of the predictions made August 1 by the United States Department of Agriculture This has been ascertained since threshing has begun. It is also shown that the quality will be better than a year ago. At prices now quoted for September futures, the farmers of this territory will receive approximately $600,000,000 in cash for the 1921 crop. Encouraged by this situation, merchants and jobbers are optimistic concerning fall and winter trade.
PEARL BUTTON INDUSTRY ACTIVE
Chicago. The pearl button industry has resumed operations at several factories in the middle was many of which are running at full capacity.
President Washington Fleeced Out of $23.00. While in New Orleans.
Dr. W. P. Washington, Moderator of the General Baptist State Association of Illinois attended the National Baptist Convention in New Orleans, La., last week, and contributed the small amount of $23.00 to a stranger while in that city, without turning a word or even asking his name or for a note with interest. The way it came about was this:—Dr. Washington, was leaving the city and had displayed his roll of bills at the convention and in the homes. Some smart guy spotted him and as he was leaving a crowded street car at the Union Station, a light fingered guy picked his purse from his hip pocket and swung off the car. The Rev missed it when he went to purchase his ticket. He informed us that he knew he snatched his purse, but he was so dead sure that he was too smart for the rogues of New Orleans, until he was unmidful of his loss until it was too late. He amused the delegation enroute to Illinois how would have pounced the thief with his big fist and cane if he had only thought in time.

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 cartarrhã deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhã Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes 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.

Notice
Sisters, and I must say Brethren of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Family.
As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Martha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity?
Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill. Mrs. Bert Granger was a Paducah, Ky., visitor Tuesday also Miss Berneice Burke.

DOCTORS CAN'T CURE GIRL KEPT IN CELLAR 17 YEARS
CHICAGO, ILL.,—Marie Zumback, the 17-year-old girl, who, it is alleged, was kept a prisoner by her mother in a basement from the time she was two months old, cannot be developed by medical science, doctors who have treated her for a year announced today. The girl, when rescued, could not see, hear or talk. Thyroid glands from monkeys were transplanted and other operations were performed in an effort to develop both mind and body, but doctors said today the seventeen years' confinement could not be overcome.

WOULD STOP PAWNING OF MEDALS.
Washington. Legislation designed to prevent the sale of any military or naval decorations to any person not authorized to wear such decoration has been proposed by Assistant Secretary of Navy Theodore Roosevelt in a letter to members of the Cohgress Assistant Secretary Roosevelt calls attention to the fact that pawnshops are displaying such decorations for sale and says that such a situation is detrimental to the service.
The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive feature of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful.
