GLEMENGY DENIED CONVIGTED MEN OF 25. INFANTRY Secretary Weeks Sends Contrary Report to House Committee in Case of Negro Soldiers Charged With Houston Riot. EX-GOVERNOR OF LOUIS IANA DIES Was A Colored Lawyer Pinckney S. Pinchback 84 . Passes Away at Washington. D. C. Was Once Elected to U. S. Senate. Washington, D.C., Dec. 21—The War Department is opposed to granting clemency to the sixty-three former members of the 24th Infantry who are in prison for participating in the Houston riots in August, 1917. Secretary Weeks informed the chairman of the military committee. The secretary, in a letter, gave information concerning the prisoners, sought in a resolution recently introduced by Representative Anthony (republican, Kansas) who asked whether any of the men were in Leavensworth penitentiary for merely missing roll call on the night of the riot, and whether there was any likelihood of clemency being extended to them. "The only reason clemency has not been extended and is not recommended," Mr. Weeks stated, "is that on account of the offense EX=GOVERNO IANA Was A Co Pinckney S. Pinchback, 84 ington, D. C. Was Once Washington, D. C., Dec. 23— Pinckney B. S. Pinchback, 84 years old died here last night and will be buried in New Orleans. Attorney Pinchback was one of the most noted characters in the Negro race. He was born in Macon, Ga., but reached the distinction of acting Governor of Louisiana for 43 days from Dec. 6, 1872 to Jan. 18, 1873. Elected Lieutenaut Governor When Oscar Dunn, Negro Lieutenant Governor under Womack, died in 1872, he was elected Lieutenant Governor and president of the Senate. When Womack was impeached in 1872 Pinchback became Governor until Kellogg took office. 93 Killed by Autos in Cincinnati in Year Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 26-Early morning automobile accidents today caused three deaths, making a total of ninety-three deaths from such accidents here this year. There were Fifty-nine millions one hundred sexenty-six thousand eight hundred sixty-four men who were enlisted in the World War. 3422 lynchings since 1889, of these murders 2702 were Colored persons. With this sad condition staring the American civilization in the face could anyone question the wisdom of a Federal Anti-Lynching Law to put a stop to this diabolical crime? Adversity and Prosperity. We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.—Seneca. of which these men were clearly guilty they are not entitled to any clemency.'' Secretary Weeks reported that 58 of the 117 men convicted of participating in the riots were serving life sentences while five others were in prison seving fifteen years each. Of the others, nineteen were executed, the letter stated, six have died in confinement and the rest have either served out their terms or have been granted clemency. None was found guilty because of he had been absent from roll call on the night of the riot, Mr Weeks said. The war secretary said the evidence had been reviewed repeatedly to determine whether any injustice had been done but in every instance the reviewing officers had recommended against clemency.

"I have to face the fact," mused the fashionable photographer, as he looked over some recent pictures, "that there are some very ugly features in this business." Ingran Summer. 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 hazy 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. Read The Gazette.

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 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.

Say, brother, sister, do you walk up to your pastor after the service shake his hand with a pleasant smile and tell him that you enjoyed his sermon just delivered; that you were greatly helped, or do you hurry out of the church; as if you were afraid you might catch the smallpox or some serious trouble calls you home? You are not simply doing your duty by contributing your small mite in the contribution box You add to your joy and helpfulness by telling your pastor that you enjoy his sermons, then, pass a few words with other members who are in attendance relative to their condition and the neighbors in their section. The great apostle Paul had much to say to the brethren when gathered together in his day. He urged them to salute each other with a holy kiss when assembled to honor and praise God. You are here to help make the world brighter any the lives of others more cheerful. You cannot do so by being reserved. But on the contrary, be light hearted, jovial and approachable. A sweet spirited, will help in taking the wrinkles out of the face of your hard-worked shepherd. Adding a few years to his life. Such complimentary expressions from members are welcome by any pastor. If you want to feel good next Lord's Day after laying your contribution on the table. Express your appreciation to your pastor by telling him publicly and sincerely that you enjoyed the sermon.

LOREN SMITH, Clerk of the circuit court. Dec. 8th A. D. 1921. We note in this issue of The Gazette of the resignation of Rev. C. C. Phillips, D. D., as pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, Dewmaine, after twenty-one years of faithful service which breaks all records in Southern Illinois for length of of service as pastor with but few exceptions. We are very proud of his enviable record as a successful preacher and pastor, because he is a home made man, one as having come up out of dry ground as he was reared on the red and rocky hills of Pope county, soil too poor to sprout peas in many places, but rich in the production of men and women because, Golconda, the county seat of Pope has sent forth in to this broad and busy world some characters, who have become famous and have taken the forefront as thinkers and leaders in the great work of uplifting the race. Dr. C. C. Phillips, is a strong Baptist preacher, with but few equals and as a writer and debater he is almost in a class to himself. He is a National character and has a large field for usefulness before him. In the resignation of Dr. Phillips, Mt. Zion Baptist church Dewmaine, and the citizens have sustained a great loss, his place will be hard to fill taking it from every angle. He goes forth with the prayers of both the Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive Associations as he is a strong factor in these Associations. God bless your work wherever your lot may be cast is the wish of The Gazette.

ILL The pastor who would succeed with the work of his calling, He must study Negro-ology, one has to do with the enlightening of the soul mind, heart life--The other with the literal work and influence of the membership, control, enhancing of the work. Without the knowledge of his work, is a failure. Lynching, mob-violence and human burnings still goes on in various parts of the United States at a clip of two and three times each week, without any one to stay thy hand, in the face and under the nose of congress, notwithstanding there is a bill before the House of Representatives which tends to lesson this great evil practiced upon citizens who are lawabiding, simply because they happen to be colored and with no power behind them that cares for this practice that has taken place of prize and bull fighting in the U. S., for the amusement and past time of the so-clled christian nation. There are better people in hell today than those who tolerate and condone this barbarous practice. The president and congress are too busy with the more weighter matters, now claiming their attention, than that of murder and rapine by one race against another? While they dwell on technicalties of the law as to the passage of the Dyer Bill which was drawn to remedy this great sin and blot upon this history of a country which purports to stand up for humanity. Why not pass this law first, and then the people of the world will believe you are sincere in your advocacy of declaration of "Equal and Exact Justice to all." Righteousness exalts a Nation, but, sin is a reproach to any people, is the fiat of Devine Justice. Where there is confidence, there is peace and happiness, but in the absence of this virtue, home, business, church or society are rent a sunder. In the multitude of counsel, the (right kind) there is safety. PUBLICATION NOTICE. State of Illinois, Massac County, ss Circuit Court of Massac County, January Term, A. D. 1922.
