GEORGIA WOMEN FIGHT MOB LAW Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22—An appeal against mob law was issued here last night by a committee of more than a score of Georgia women who were members of the Georgia state committee on in-erracial cooperation. The special committee headed by Mrs. A. W. Lawson of Savannah, adopted a resolutions stating that while they appreciate the chivalry of men who will give their lives for the purity and safety of women "yet we feel constrained to declare our convictions concerning the methods sometime employed in this supposed protection." The resolution also urged the public to speedily banish self constituted group which presume to set aside the dignity of the law and constitute themselves the prosecutors, jurors, judges and executors of suspected criminals. Heavy Annual Rainfall. The rainfall of a village among the hills of Aesam, during the ten weeks from May 2 to July 3 this year, was 450 inches. The village is Cherrapunji, the rainstreet south to India and presumably in the vicinity. Its annual rainfall is something over 450 inches—say, fifteen times as much as London.

Mr Editor, please allow space in your valuable paper to question asked me while at the Association. The question was asked, How are you getting along in Centralia? In answer to to the, question, will say we are getting along nicely Our church work is prosperous. While away at the members and friends give me a play at the church called the donation party on the parson and they made their real for when time came to come in with the donaion, the players come in with real flour, lard, sugar, coffee, rice, can goods, meat, fruit, and everything good to eat and in large quanies, more than $20 in value. I was entirely surprised when arriving home and finding my wife and family all smiles. I asked her what was so pleasing, they answered just look what the church has done. Sunday the 25th was our rally day and was well attended and a financial success I will let you say; One thousand dollars was the result. Well, I guess you would call that a success. BLIND MAN FOUNDS TELEPHONE SYSTEM The 2nd Baptist church is wide awake and going. The Sunday School Mission Society and B. Y. P. U. are all playing their part and playing it well. W. H. Carter, Pater Rev. W. H. Carter, reported a successful meeting during his short stay in Carbondale last week. He was called home to preach the funeral of Sister Sarah Bibb, and whose presence will be missed by the Sunday School and the church as she was a regular attendant. The church extends her sympathy to her bereaved mother, father, and relatives. The church had a grand rally Sunday and is pleased to announce that we realized One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars and 476. Revs. O'Fellon and March of the Christian and First Baptist churches assisted Rev. Carter and the church is very grateful to them and their congregations for their worthy assistance.

Tinsley, a blind Negro of this city. Tinsley became blind 12 years ago after unslacked lime had been spattered in his eyes He came here from Texas in 1915 and found many rural residents lacked telephone service. He wanted something to do, so he went to the manager of the Muskogee exchange with his scheme. The manager, leased the Negro five old telephone switchboard. The Negro then obtained contracts for installing six telephones still without capital, he went in P. O. Department Is Investigating K. K. K. Activities. Washington, Sept. 21.—Following closely the statement that the department of Justice was investigating the Ku-klux [Klan. Postmaster General Hays in his conference today with newspaper men disclosed that agents of his department also were inquiring into the activites of the organization, Mr. Hays' decline Synopsis of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association in its 71st Annual Session The Mt. Olive Baptist Association was held with Rock Hill Baptist Church, Carbondale, from Tuesday until Sunday night the 25th. The meeting was pronounced to be the finest meeting from every angle for a long time and it was pronounced to be the finest and the most peaceful session in years. This was a spiritual harvest, strong able sermons delivered to overflow crowds at each service. The church choir furnished excellent music with Mrs. Hattie English at the organ. Fine congregational congregational singing was a great attraction and our own ministrs were at their best and there can be found no better men anywhere and we are proud to be identified with them as they stand four square to every wind that blows and for the most par are honest and truthful and you can always rely on them. The members and pastor, Wm. Moody cared for the messengers in an able manner Rev. Moody is an able preacher and pastor and would grace any pulpit Any church needing a good pastor can write us as we have several able men. There was only one dissenting vote at the election of officers. The total amount of money raised from all souces $445 42 which is an increase over last year. There were 27 churches reporting and others will have their letters in before the minutes are printed, so the administration has been a success in spite of all that has been said and done to impede its progress. Some of the ministers who bolted the Association and went off search of wire to be used for the line. He bought 300 pounds for $9.30 and had it charged. He borrowed a team, went into the woods and cut his poles. He put these in place himself, seldom employing any help. When Tinsley connected his circuit and placed his telephones n working order, more suscribers came. At present Tinsley's system covers most of the territory adjacent to Muskogee on the west. It has 45 miles of service wire and 49 subscribers who pay from $2.50 to $3.50 for the service. His investment now $1500. He still does all his own work, repairs the instruments and make installations to say on what angle the investigation was being made. "I cannot discuss that now." the postmaster general said, "further than to say that the inspection service is making a vigorous investigation of the KuKlux Klan." Her Instructions Conductor—"Ticket, please." Passenger—"Certainly, sir. Here is the key of my trunk, which is in the baggage-car. In the pocket of my second-best dress is my mileage book."—Harper's Bazar. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and bow tie]. Pastor of St. John Baptist Church, Mounds, and Treasurer of Mt. Olive Baptist Association of Southern Illinois on a tangent in 1920 have returned, begged partion and said they are with the Mt. Olive Association from now on as they see nothing in the other association which justifies them in following it. There were several visitors and corresponding messengers present and among them w's our own Dr B. N. Murrell, of Quincy, who ably represented the Wood River Assocociation, the oldest Colored Baptist organization in United States, being 82 years old. It is the senior of the Mt. Olive by eleven years.

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 cartarrhat deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal 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 catarrrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Eskelson (white, who hails from the state of Texas, is a collector for a physician Dr. Hammond, 1138 West 35th street. Two weeks ago he called at the home of Mrs Frank Whitlow, 434 East 45th place, in quest of a debtor supposed to have lived there. Miss Margaret Harvey, daughter of Mrs. Whitlow, answerd the door. Eskelson asked for his party, but no such person resided there, Miss Harvey informed him. He seemed in doubt, and asked Miss Harvey's telephone number for further investigation. It was given him. The same afternoon he phoned the Whitlow home and asked for Miss Harvey. Eskelson informed her that she appealed to him, and told of his wonderful love for her. He asked for a date. Miss Harvey hung up the receiver and told her mother of the Texan's insult. Eskelson called the next day. Mrs Whitlow, the mother, answered this time and informed the intruder to discontinue his method of annoyance. He persisted in telephoning, however, and Mrs. Whitlow decided to resort to strategy to get rid of him. She asked him to call again, and gave him a date when her husband, a railroad employee would be at home. Elkelson, true to his persistence, phoned. Mrs Whitlow told him that she was alone and to hurry over before the other occupants of the home returned from church. Eskelson took a cab and hurried over. When he entered the resident Mr Whitlow greeted him with an automatic revolver, and summoned officers Stadfield and Mancell of the Fourth precinct station. Eskson was fined $10 and costs in Judge Gemmill's court Monday wonday. The American Road Patrol PATROL 40 INT PRIZE SECTION GOOD WORK BUDDIE! Flood Water Concrete Roads Must be Reinforced [National Crop Improvement Services] Many plans are being discussed to solve the problem of employment for our returned soldiers. No plan has yet been devised which will take care of any considerable number of them. It is unfortunate that so many of our country boys have decided that they are going to stay in the cities, and there should be some concerted action to get them back to their home towns. One of the best idens is to include them in the road building program which has already begun. A large number of them can be utilized in building the roads and, if each county would recall its partially disabled veterans and give them the job of road maintenance, another large number could be used in this manner. In the old country, every few miles, there will be seen a road patrol. He is equipped with light machinery for dragging and surfacing, but his most important function is to put wet gravel into every depression after every rain. It may be argued that gravel roads Flood Water [National Crop Improvement Services.] Whenever it is especially hot, or cold, or windy, or dry, or wet, the oldest inhabitant tells how the climate is changing and that this condition, whatever it may be, is very unusual. It is the unexpected which always happens, so, therefore, public work should be so constructed that it will take care of emergencies. This is true in road construction. Perhaps any well-built road will do for ordinary traffic, but who knows what we have to expect in the future? We know that the automobile and truck activities are making wonderful strides and, while the roads now under construction may possibly take care of our traffic for a few years, we must look ahead and build roads which will be adequate for twice and maybe ten times the traffic which we now anticipate. Engineers should not figure the ordinary capacity of culverts, *ditches* and other drainage. While cloudbursts are, perhaps, not frequent and tor- Concrete R be Reinfo [National Crop Improvement Service] The building of roads as has been done in the past, is not sufficient. There are many problems which must be solved and a standard established to take care of roads and give them every protection against wear and weather. A few of the problems which are important are: How much shall be spent to build a particular piece of highway? What expense is warranted to maintain that piece of highway? What type of surface should be laid for the different sections, according to population? What maximum traffic must be prepared for and how shall we estimate the demands of the future? How shall we divide the responsibility of the government, the state and the county for construction, control and maintenance? What proportion of the cost shall be borne by the vehicle? Thought and Kindness Past It is not written blessed is he that found the poor, but he that consid- erth the poor. A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.—John Brown. are not permanent, but the best hard-surfaced roads are those which are built on a good gravel road foundation, one which has been properly graded and drained. This gravelling should be done on every road and when the time comes to build the concrete, one of the largest items will have been disposed of. When the concrete highways are constructed, all of the feeder roads should be given this personal attention by a road patrol, so that every farmer, who has not the good fortune to be located upon one of the trunk lines, may have a good road to that trunk line every day in the year. It has been conceded that the reinforced concrete highway makes the best road. The growing use of trucks makes it imperative that our highways be built for the future, and a still greater percentage of solidity must be built into them to take care of the trucks which will become more and more numerous on every well-paved stretch. T indoors and cyclones may not hit the same section oftener than once in a term of years, yet our drainage should be so generously provided that it will take care of any emergency possible to occur. Any big storm will flood an ordinary road and cut great gashes which can only be repaired at enormous expense. If the culverts were so designed that they would carry off ten times the water which might ordinarily be expected, we would avoid all dangers of flood. Culverts should be constructed of a reinforced concrete tile made heavy enough to carry any stress and accommodate any volume of water which a flood could possibly bring. The roadbed should be made heavy enough to carry, perhaps, ten times the load required, and the surface concrete should be reinforced with a steel fabric, because steel and cement have a perfect affinity, expanding and contracting practically alike, and any jar or shock should be anticipated so that the road will last indefinitely. Roads Must forced How can the cost of vehicle opera- tion be cut down? How shall we make highway transport cut the cost of living? These are all basic problems that call for the correlation of the best thinking of our best minds. The most efficient highway construction, according to our best knowledge, is re-enforced concrete built upon a solid roadbed. It is true that some concrete has been in constant use for years without re-enforcement, but it is also true that when properly re-enforced it will maintain itself without further expense, indefinitely. We should not make the mistake that New York has made. They have constructed and worn out two sets of macadam roads, but are now beginning a third system using re-enforced concrete. This road laid over the old surface ought to make the best roads the world has over seen. A Crime Self-Punished A thief entered a house in Riverside Drive and stole five volumes of poetry.

Subscribe For Gazette Now Get the Get the Water off the Road [National Crop Improvement Service.] Engineers generally classify road drainage under three heads: cross surface, longitudinal or side surface, and sub-drainage. Under present day practice, there is seldom a paved road that does not provide perfect cross drainage, at least from the center of the road to the edge of the paved way. Beyond that, perfection in drainage is a very difficult matter. The average concrete road has a perfectly shaped shoulder between the concrete and the drainage ditch and the road thus completed may be said to be in perfect condition. But ordinary roads are not wide enough for two loads of hay or for two rows of speeding vehicles to pass without the wheels on one side of each car running along the dirt shoulder which protects the motorist from going into the ditch. After every rain some of this shoulder dirt washes into the ditch. A big truck plows up a ridge and the next car throws this dirt which soon chokes he channel provided for carrying off the surplus water. Phone 364 L. JONES, Box 551, Olney, ill. W. L.

Water off the Road So it may be said that unless a line of the is laid with suitable catch basins which may be cleaned from time to time, this primitive ditching soon becomes worthless or worse. Ordinary maintenance will not save this trouble; the ruts may be filled, but in a half hour later the same thing may happen again. Concrete is the popular road and the most serviceable, but concrete even when reinforced with steel will have to go down with the shoulder when the shoulder is undermined by water. Therefore the water must be disposed of at some distance from the road. After the drainage problem has been solved, the solidity of the road bed must be considered. Many a fine-looking road has gone to pieces because the base has not been properly settled. Above all, every stretch of concrete road should be reinforced with steel. If a road cracks and splits for lack of reinforcing, it becomes very costly to keep in repair.
