Dear Sir: We may so speak that since the race journals are regarded as a public forum of the race, we would like to give out the following information, which will no doubt be of much benefit to those who may come under this category. Two great men, not that there are not others, Drs. Fields of Cairo and Thompson of Carbondale, and also Dr. Griffin, Centralia. But we wish to speak of Atty. C. L. Rice, of Md City, and Dr. A. W. Springs, of Dewmaine, because these men have come more directly under our observation. * Notably Atty. Rice, of Md City our people need to know of his ability as a first class lawyer; we 1.

MASTER CEREMONIES. have met persons in our travels in search of a council, in fact we met a gentleman not long since, who appeared to have a good case but not popular, for the lawyers to take in the town in which he lived. So he set out in the near-by towns for a lawyer to look after his case, but he failed to find one, for the same reasons that others did. Speaking of Mr. Rice, as a Jurist, we have heard white lawyers say he is to be classed with the leading lawyers of the State. It appears that in the Bank Robbery case in Pulaski, Mr. Rice, was the leading council. Dr. A. W. Springs, is a ranking Physician, his work eminently sits him out, as a man of the hour. We wish to speak of one case in particular that we know of, and ```markdown ``` Dr McCrary, we have given this out for the benefit of those that need a good physician or a good lawyer. What our people need to do is to qualify for service our inability to do things hurts us more than our color. P. S. Editor since we have finished this article we note a timely warning from your pen to the Lily White Republicans, that showed their hands in the recent election, in which Captain Burks, was defeated for County Commissioner, Captain has twice jeopardised life in honor of his (their) country, and is maimed for life and his defeat shows the respect and recompense they have for him Yes stand by your gun and sound it from the lowest dell to the tallest summit; Shell the woods and bring the "the lilly whites," into the lime light. Virginia Republicans Richmond, Va. - Returns from all the principal cities shows Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., received last Tuesday 4,000 votes which resulted in the death of lily-white party in that State, Under ordinary conditions Henry W. Anderson, who led the fight against recognition of Colored people and who boasted, if elected, that he would appoint no colored man to office. The so-called Republican State Convention blundered in debaring Colored delegates from participating in the body. Colored Republicans called a convention and nominated a ticket of Colored people. If any man believes he can spit in the face of the new fashioned colored voters and still get their support will wake up some day suprised with the resentment of the Colored voters. Pulaski. Please allow us a little space in your valuable paper to say, after some 16 or 18 years separation the two St. John Baptist churches of this place decided to come together as one church to work for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of the Master. Having been under the leadership of of Rev. J. H. Stamps, of Joppa, for the last 13 months and he with the gospel trumpet led us to see our mistake through the Holy Spirit. Now we have come home, as the Prodigial son, and had a great shout in Zion. We elected Rev. Stamps, as our pastor and intend to keep him as the Lord will allow us. May the Lord of heaven bless him and the work he has done for his cause in this place. We ask your prayers that he may be led on to victory. The church is still in the Mt. Olive Association. Collection Sunday $13.30. W. S. Dalton, Reporter. Asking Medal For Dr. A. W. Springs Since announcement h's been made that the State of Illinois is to award medals to mine heroes, a movement has been started to have Dr. A. W. Springs, of Dewmaine, included among those thus to be honored. The attention of Robert M. Medill, director of mines and minerals at Springfield, has been called to what Dr. Springs did in the Royalton mine disaster in 1915, when 52 lives were lost. Dr. Springs was the only physician to risk his life in going down to look after the injured. On that occasion he saved the life of a man laid our for dead. This man comes regularly once a year to personally thank Dr. Springs for his services. Srate Senator Sneed has also written a letter calling attention to the heroic deeds of this distinguished colored physician. Dr. Springs tried his best to get into service during the world war but was kept out and did what he could for his country at home — Marion Post. If we remember correctly the Royalton mines were occupied by white men, Negro miners not being allowed to work in it, and no one knew this better than Dr. Springs, and yet with this prejudice against the members of his Race, and yet he was big enough when the disaster came he was the only physician that would risk his life though there white physicians on the scene. Was he not a hero? All honor to Dr. Springs, we are proud of him, and ask that he be given a medal to which he is justly entitled. Mound City Our church is getting along nicely and is in a spiritual condition. The old gospel war horse, will preach in Cobden, the 3rd Sunday and will undertake the task of getting the people together again. I refer to Rev. A F. Daniels. Friday night Nov. 11, the Silver Leaf Club installed officers at Taborian Hall, a nice program was rendered and Mrs. C. L. Hamilton, of Mounds installed the following officers: Mrs M. J. Campbell, Pres.; Mrs. M. E. Daniels, Vice Pres.; Mrs. G. Love. Sec.; Mrs. Millie Mc Cullom Ass't.; Mrs Annie Rucker Treas.; Mrs. G. Webb Critic; Mrs. Nancy Williams, Chaplain. Afterwhich refreshments were served. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. REV. G. W. NORMENT Pastor of St. John Baptist Church, Mounds, and Treasurer of Mt. Olive Baptist Association of Southern Illinois Purchased a Lot Through the recommendation of the Grand Master Bro. Thos. H. Samuels, the members of Jepta Chapter No. 14, Order of the Eastern Star of Metropolis, thru its committee purchased lot 12 in Block 63 corner of Pearl and Broadway, known as the Moses Lewis corner. This is a very desirable business corner and for a hall. It is the intention of the Chapter to erect a hall at some future date. The women are to be commended on their broad vision add sense of following in the wake of the 45 lodges and Chapters of the Jurisdiction who have purchased sites the past year. The members of Silver Crown Lodge Masons will be asked to take an interest in the purchase price of this beautiful site. We congratulate our wives, sisters, mothers, daughters and widows for their achievement and progressive spirit. Daugherty Approves Anti Lynching Bill Washington, Nov. 16,—Attorney General Daugerty has approved the draft of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. Representative Dyer (Rep.) Missouri, author of the measure, said today. The bill would provide heavy penalties for persons participating in mob violence and for officers of the law who, through derelection of duty failed to prevent lynchings, and would require counties in which lynchings occur to forfeit $10,000. Chairman Volstead of the House Judiciary Committee and Dyer conferred with the Attorney General after a number of Republican and Democratic members of the House had contended the bill would infringe on state's rights and would be unconstitutional. Daugherty, according to Dyer, not only declared he believed the measure would be constitutional but recommended its passage. No action will be taken on the bill in the House this session. Dyer said, but, he added, its passage would be sought early in the regular session. Notice is hereby given that the Executive Board of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association will meet with Siloam Baptist church, Unionville, Friday before the 4th Sunday in Nov. We call this meeting early in order to get away from the holidays and bad weather that usually interferes with our meeting in December. Let us make this the first meeting of the quarter what it should be. Dont forget the missionaries and our Educational Institution in Nashville Please bring or send $1.00 for education aside from missionaries and expense of Board. The pastor Rev. R. Phillips and members are prepared to care for you. Come, and let the Spirit have dominion over you while there. Yours in Him, J. B. McCrary, Mod. NOTICE To the members composing the Executive Board of the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention. As there was some financial business of our last meeting in Colp, that not finished, and as I have been unable to get it adjusted through correspondence, it will be necessary to call a meeting of the Board in the near future. The time and place will be announced later. J. W. Corneal, Dist. Pres. 424 N. Sycamore.

E, Trovillion, left Monday the 14, for Alton, to assume the superintendency of the State hospital, a position to which Gov. Small, appointed him in recognition of the good work the Dr. did during primary last year. The Gazette joins the many friends of Dr. Trovillion, for his good fortune. We are sure the Governor will never regret of having appointed him to this honorable position as he will be able to give a good account of himself. Massac county is coming into the limelight, as she has the distinction of having three physicians on the staff at Alton, Drs. Waters, Pell, of Brookport, and Trovillion of Metropolis, and there are other worthy supporters of the Governor in the county and district, who no doubt would appreciate going to the "pie counter" in recognition of their support when he needed a friend. The Governor is a man who believes in rewarding his friends. Congressman Thosmas S. Williams, from the 24th District of Illinois, is for the Dyer antilynch bill and will vote for its passage if given an opportunity. He is not only for that measure but, for the Constitution of the United States, with the several Amendments thereto. Mr. Williams, is in deep sympathy and hearty accord with our people in their contention for justice before the law and equal opportunities as advocated by President Harding, and will be glad to help them by his vote at any opportune time. He is not a man to play to galleries but, is using his time and legal talent to better the condition of labor as well as capital in his district and Nation. We are sure Mr. Williams will succeed himself, possibly without opposition as the voters are learning the fact, that the longer a Congressman or Senator retains his office the better service he can render his constituents especially when they possess the ability and interested in the district as is Congressman Williams. The Gazette knows of no man in the District that could be of as much service in the Halls of Congress just now, during the reconstruction period than the present incumbent. This is the time when we need fair minded and strong men, who believe in all men up and no man down. We will have more to say of the Congressman as the time advances. Read The Gazette.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhag 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 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.

Many owners wash their dogs in the summer, but neglect to do so in the winter. This is a mistake. While in the summer months the dog will appreciate a wash once a week, during the winter once monthly should be the order, says an exchange. The length of time between each wash will depend upon the life the dog leads and the amount of grooming it receives. All animals should be regularly brushed down. Indoor dogs call for a more frequent toilet than outdoor ones; the former may be washed once a month and the latter every five or six weeks. The indoor dog, too, should be groomed more frequently than the outdoor one. Washing tends to soften the hairs, so that wire-healed dogs intended for exhibition are constantly groomed rather than frequently washed. To wash a dog successfully first see that the soap is rubbed well in and then that it is properly rinsed out. Guard against chills after the bath, and never let the dog retire to its kennel until the coat is thoroughly dry. If the weather is in inclement wash and dry the dog in front of the fire, but not too near. In drying use several towels and finish with a good brush-down. If the coat dries slowly wrap the dog in a thick blanket and leave the animal near the fire. OWNS AND RUNS COAL MINE Girl Has Been Successful in Business In Which Few of Her Sex Have Been Engaged. "I wonder when we'll ever get our coal," the complaint of many housewives for a few seasons past, will not be voiced by Miss Ricka Ott, twenty-one years old, who industriously mines coal daily in a little "wagon mine" on her father's farm in the hills of Mount Oliver, Pa., near Pittsburgh. Ricka is her own boss—miner, operator, manager, distributor. Day after day she cheerfully sings as she wheels her "black diamonds" from the mine. Along about three years ago, when all the mines of western Pennsylvania were working to their fullest capacity, to keep an unending stream of coal flowing to the mills where weapons and munitions were being turned out. Ricka was imbued with the desire to do her share toward the winning of the great conflict. She suggested to her father, Gregor Ott, a steel worker, that they open a mine. Ricka's father scorned the idea of giving up a perfectly good job in the steel mills for the uncertainty of a small coal mine. "I will mine the coal and sell it," said Ricka. He laughed at the idea of a girl mining coal and driving a truck. She gave her father no rest until he agreed to start a mine for her, and she has since proved more than a match for the other miners of the country. Last year Miss Ott mined 9,000 bushels of coal; and distributed it to her customers. -Dearborn Independent. Promotion of "Pure English." In England, as in the United States, the subject of preserving the purity of the English language from the effects of slang, loss of grammatical distinctions, etc., has recently attracted much attention. One of the results of the movement in England is the formation of the Society for Pure English. The society was founded in 1913, but was compelled by the war to postpone its activities. The reason for the existence of the society is given as "the duty of English-speaking peoples to make their language adequate and efficient, and worthy of its increasing and world-wide use. Its purpose is to further the best interest of the language by the promulgation of sound knowledge." It is asserted that the Society for Pure English does not intend to domesticate or to open an informal democratic court in which all questions may be argued on full information—Columbus Dispatch. Prima Donna's Home. There are few more romantic homes than the Chateau de Cebrières, where Madame Calve, the famous operatic singer, spends the summer months. It is an old castle standing high among the mountains in the south of France. It has become part of the rock upon which it is built, rising in stupendous strength, and commanding glorious views across the valleys. It had always been Madame Calve's ambition to own the chateau, which she had known from earliest childhood. When she bought it she invited her father and mother to a grand dinner, without divulging the secret. A large covered dish stood before her father's plate. When he lifted the cover a huge key rested on the dish. It unlocked the main door, and told her parents that Madame Calve owned the old place. The newest achievement of Burbank, the plant wizard, is the production of cacti that bear fruits beautiful to the eye and with flavors resembling those of peaches, muskmelons, plum apples, etc., yet sufficiently unlike to render them appetizing novelties. They are very sweet, containing from 12 to 16 per cent of sugar. These fruits may be eaten fresh or put up as sweetmeats. They are of various colors and their juices, particularly of the red ones (which are of brilliant hues) are usable for coloring ice, jellies and candies—Pittsburgh Lodge. ```markdown ``` DAY OF SAILS MAY RETURN Many Causes Operating to Decrease the Present Supremacy of the Steam-Driven Vessel. A great deal of the beauty and romance of the sea passed with the decline of the sailing ship. The sailing ship gave way to the steamer because the latter was more reliable as to runs and was not hung up by calms or slowed down so much by head winds and gales, and finally could be operated in larger units. So it has been assumed that the sailing ship has been displaced forever. It survives, though chiefly under fore- and aft rig, but most ocean freight is carried by the steam-driven vessel. But now there is talk of the revival of the sailing ship as a carrier. The Suez and the Panama canals have shortened the world routes materially, coal is becoming a more expensive fuel and oil is not cheap. So there are interesting proposals for a return to sails. The rig would be fore-and-aft instead of the old square sails, and there would be machinery for handling and an auxiliary in case of calm. A naval architect of standing has come forward with a design of this kind, making use of the Diesel engine, steel wire running gear and electricity for lighting and heating. American ships have been operating with as many as seven masts, and the use of power would permit the operation of large units with a comparatively small cost. HARD TASK FOR TEACHERS Cincinnati School Authorities Want Them to Get Mothers to Cease Using "Baby Talk." An appeal has been made by the school authorities of Cincinnati to the mothers of that city to enlist in a war against "baby talk," and its effects on their children, and a special speaker has been appointed to carry this cause to the Mothers' clubs. While much of the talk with which fond mothers beguile their babies may sound very foolish to others, it seems to sound good to the baby, and while the claim that it makes stutterers and cruses other defects in speech may have some truth in it, the "baby talk" will bear comparison with much other talk heard by children. While good speech is important, the matter is of more importance than the manner—in fact, good matter naturally tends to good manner in speech. It is at least quite as important that parents, fathers as well as mothers, are careful to select the right subject matter for talk before and to their children as that baby talk be eliminated. Try as they may, the teachers are likely to have a hard time anyway to convince many mothers that baby talk is not the proper language in which to address the baby, both as to subject matter and method of speech.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Shun White Golf Shoes "Can't keep your eye on the ball!" asked the golf instructor of his pupil. "I can easily understand why you fail to do so. You have on white shoes. Under ordinary circumstances there is no reason why a normal person should ever fail to keep his or her eye on the ball white on the links. A bright color on the grass near the player or a quick movement by a bystander are the only two reasons why a player should ever lose his eye." "White shoes are very distracting. They are generally brighter than the ball itself and are often the cause of an expert failing to keep his eye on the ball. Some men play spondibly for a long stretch at a time and then one day they suddenly get off their game. In many instances this is due to the fact that they have put on a pair of white shoes." X-Baym in Factory The next development of the uses of radiography will be the application of X-rays to industrial purposes. Experiments which have been in progress privately for some time past point to wonderful possibilities in the near future, when every great factory and foundry will have its own radiographer and laboratory. There is no reason why the X-rays, bitherto only used for medical and surgical work, should not be utilized in detecting flaws in, say, an ingot of metal or block of concrete. Progress in this direction only awaits the prefecting of sufficiently powerful apparatus. The importance of this to the metallurgist and manufacturer must be obvious, and research work is only bindered by the absence of the necessary funds to prosecute what are necessarily very costly experiments. What the Japanese Read. What the Japanese Read. So far as popular interests of the Japanese are indicated by the books they read, it would appear that their attention is given largely to social questions. According to a recent classification of the books and magazines printed in the empire, those upon this subject, including labor conditions, economics, political science, sociology, history and law, are a close second to works of fiction, general literature and art—From the Living Age. Aviator - Makes Records. The summit of Mont Blanc, 15,972 feet high, was the scene recently of a remarkable feat in aviation. A French airman landed there with his plane, got out of the machine, walked around for about ten minutes, and then flew away, and 20 minutes later landed safely at Chamonix, the well-known Alpine resort, at the base of the mountain—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
