MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." DR. C. G. PHILLIPS, GOLGONDA, ILL., RESINGS MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, DEWMAINF, ILL. AFTER SERVING THEM FOR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS Resigned on the 3rd Sunday in Dec. 1921, after serving 21 years as pastor. The resignation reads as follows: Dewmaine, Ill., Dear Brethren Sisters and friends It has now become my unpleasant duty to tender you my resignation as Pastor of the Mt. Z on Baptist church of this place for your consideration, to become effective in or about the 3rd Sunday in Dec 1921. It is a common custom for the pastor or church to serve a 90 days notice before resigning, that is to say the pastor when he has a notion to resign he should give the church ninety days notice; in case the church feels that it would be best for the pastor to resign they give him ninety days notice. But the relation of the pastor and church has been very pleasant for years. We feel that we can offer our resignation without any degree of impropriety whatever, unless the church thinks otherwise. But it must be forever remembered that we havent aught against the church, or even one member nor a single person in Dewmaine, saint or sinner. When we shall have gone we shall ever reflect the pleasant relation we have sustain for the last 21 years. Our chief object for resigning is, we feel that we can do a great r service for the Master. We close by saying, our prayers are that the God of peace be with you all Amen, and when you have settled on another pastor follow him as he follows Christ. I am your faithful servant in His name. Respectfully, C. C. Phillips, Pastor We offered our resignation as above stated Oct. 28, 1921 with tearful eyes and we may say a weeping heart. A number of the members paid us a glowing tribute we could not help weeping with them, to do so we feel that we would have been less than a human being. The church for the most part have loved and respected us as their pastor, methodists as well as baptists said bro. how can we get along without you, you have been so helpful in our homes DYER OPENS DEBATE ON ANTILLYNCHING BILL Democrats Vainly Attempt to Prevent Discussion by Filibuster Washington. January 4.-Debate on the Dyer anti-lynching bill got under way today in the House despite a determined tiltbuster on the part of Democratic opponents of the measure. Three hours were spent in roll calls, demanded by Representative Garrett of Tennessee, Democratit leader, in a turtle attempt to head off discussion. Haiti of that time later was given over to debate by Representative Dyer (Rep.) of Missouri, author of the bill, and Representa- On the 3rd Sunday Eld. J. H. McQueen, who preached the closing sermon had many good things to say of us styled the days service as a memorial service. In fact it was a house of mourning May God continue to bless these people. We never had a church fuss in all of these years, nor locked horns with deacons. We taught them to respect our sights by respecting theirs, where our rights ended theirs began; and their rights ended ours began. The Mt Zion is a Baptist church from the top to the bottom, the hospitality to all christians. Financially she has been the leading church when it comes to aumber in the State, Oh! well we may say in the United States, the membership has never been above 110, but the records will show she has represented in the S. S. Convention and other auxilliaries far above its quota. Our last service with the church all told collection was $71 and a few cents, they never a lowed them selves to be in debt to the pastor nor anyone else. We resigned with money in all of the treasures. Eld. J. H. McQueen has charge of the pulpit; he is a splendid preacher too. Here's what the church has to say of Bro. Phillips, To whom these may come greetings: This is to certify that Dr. C C Philips, of Golconda, Ill. for upward of twenty years and on his own accord tends his resignation as pastor setting the time that he desired it to take effect, and we the church wish to say that during during the 21 years of service has been a loyal pastor and a christian gentlemen. We as the church do recommend him as a christian man one who can be trusted in the home of both saints and sinners. When he came to the pulpit he found it untarnished Deacons and their years of service E. J. Jones 23 years; J. H. McQueen 26; James A. Clayborne 13; Wm Wade 13; Wm Allen 5; Geo. Curinton 9; J. E. Taylor 23 tive Summers (Dem.) of Texas, one the leaders in the fight against it, who re-iterated arguments advanced by them in the majority and minority views of Judiciary Committee members when the bill was favorably reported. The measure is to be set aside to-morrow for consideration of the treasury appropriation Lill, which will have right of way until it is sent to the Senate. Representative Mondell, Republican leader, in a statement today predicted a vote in the near future on the Dyer bill, stated that debate on it would be interspersed between various appropriation bills which will come from the House Appropriation Committee in rapid succession. Dyer, in opening debate on his measure, declared it was impera- tive that the Federrl Government afford protection to persons liable to suffer violence at the hands of mobs. He told of a number of lynchings that had occurred where the man killed had not been guilty of attacks on women. During his remarks Dyer paid tribute to the service rendered by Negro soldiers over-seas and contended that members of the race were entitled to protection by the Federal Government. Sumners attacking the authority for a number of Dyer's statistics on lynchings, declared passage of the bill would increase a her than decrease a mob violence and would have a tendency to engender race hatred. He assailed the measure on constitution grounds, contending it would be an invasion of states' rights and devoted much of his time to disussion of the discussion of the constitutional phase of the question. Colored Mammy Claims to Have Lived in 3 Centuries Mount Vernon, Ill., Jan. 3. Aunt Margaret Edmison, colored, of this city, says she is 122 years old and that she was born in Richmond, Va., about March 15, 1799. She is able to walk about the house unassisted, and her physical health is good. Her eyesight and hearing have become greatly impaired in the last two years. Up to two years ago she assisted with light housework. She spent most of her life in Virginia and Mississippi as a slave. She worked principally in the field's doing farm work and some times assisting in ditching, building fences, and similar taks. RESIGNED. Mrs Love Phillips Rentro, the 3rd and 4th Grade teacher at Dunbar School Resigned her position Dec. 22, 1921 on account of throat trouble. Because she had rendered such excellent service the Board of Education refused to accept her resignation and instead gave her a leave of absence and at any time she desires she can again take up her work. The place remains open to her indefinitely. This is the first time in the history of Metropolis, that such an honor has been given to either white or colored. The children and Patrons regret profoundly to loose her even for a short time and will be g'ad at any time to see her return. We are very proud of Mrs. Renfro's Record and we commend the Board of Education for their consideration and appreciation of worthy efficient work. Miss Haskins, of Fisk University will fill the position until Mrs. Renfro resumes her work. Gazette Staff. 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. Gov. Small Issued Statement Immediately After State's Attorney Mortimer, of Sangamon County, Had Nollied the Embezzlement Indictmeuts against Gov. Small When Judge Edwards Had Ordered Him to Proceed to Trial Jan. 9th With That Case. The indictments which were pending at noon today in Lake County were returned by the grand jury of Sangamon County last July. It will not be difficult for the people of Illinois to recall the wave of ill feeling that was caused to flow over the State by the character of propaganda that had for its purpose the destruction of my good name throughout the State and to deprive the People of my usefulness as their Governor "What occurred this afternoon in the Circuit Court of Lake County will lay bare to the public mind the methods employed, the inspirations causing these indictments; and, I am quite curious to know if those who circulated that propaganda so freely in last July will be as active in giving to the people of this great state a full and trutful recital of the spectacle in circuit courtroom of Lake County upon the 29th day of Dec 1921. "From the beginning, I have been most desirous of having these cases tried. The public has known that the chief and only charge against me as a state officer was the charge of embezzlement while I was the Treasurer of the State of Illinois. This case today was set for trial by Judge Edwards on January 9, 1922. My attorneys announced that they were ready for trial. The State's Attorney of Sangamon County and the Attorney General of Illinois refused to prosecute this case, and, Attorney and the Attorney General dismissed this suit without a trial and without affording to me an opportunity to disclose and establish the fact that they have no case, that they never had one, and that I have never illegally received, either directly or indirectly, one penny of this state while acting as its State Treasurer, as a private individual, or in any other capacity. "I am naturally somewhat embittered over this procedure. A charge of so serious a character to be treated so lightly by the prosecution which caused my indictment, depriving me of an opportunity to show the utter falsity of the charge, is quite past my understanding of fair play and honest prosecution. "It should be borne in mind that Lake County was a county accepted by me from a list of counties submitted by the prosecution and in that county I was ready and am now ready to be tried. "I do not think that any fair minded person, at the present instant, will criticise me in the slight est degree for declining to have my case, or any of my cases, tried in Sangamon County Illinois. "Now the only charge left against me, the misdemeanor case which does not cover my term of office, is up for trial. As for this case, when the prosecution has particularized and stated the nature of the charges which are to be made against me, I am very desirous that the case proceed rapidly to trial with the consciousness that there will be an immediate acquittal in this proceeding.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS For County Clerk We are authorized to announce Henry Morrow as a candidate for County Clerk of Massac County, subject to the decision of the voters at the Republican Primary, April 11th 1922 We are authorized to Luther L. Bvers as a candidate for County Supt. of Schools subject to the decision of the voters at the Republican primary, April 11, 1922. The Gazette thinks that Senators McCormick and Wm. B. McKinley, could be of much more service to their party that elected them, and to the state, and country, if they were at their post of duty in Washington assisting in trying to relieve this country of the burden caused by the war under which it is groaning today, the soldier, the farmer, and the working class, rather than holding caucassing in Chicago, creating dissention in the ranks of the G. O. P., thereby giving the Democratic party a leverage to assist in carrying the state. The people want and need relief and not factional politics. Governor Small's attorneys took the course we predicted last October in an editorial, a motion to quash the indictments. It was plain to any unbiased mind that that the prosecution only hoped to ruin Governor Small, politically. The whole scheme seemed to us a trumped up affair on the account of cutting out the appropriation of Attorney General Brundage. If the case as it stands against him ever gets to a fair minded and impartial jury he will be acquitted, as he deserves to be. Notice. The Mt. Olive Baptist S. S.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL 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 cartarrhai deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhai 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 Catarrah Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75e. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Mr. Morrow is the present county clerk and has held the office for the past three years when he made the race three years ago he was an unknown quantity so far as public office was concerned. Henry went out and made a hard fight, winning the nomination by a small majority. After his election he waded into the numerous duties which fall to the county clerk and by hard work mastered the many different things that came up in that office. He has made the county a good official as the records of his office will show. He is now askink another term from the voters feeling confident that they will approve his past service. During his term as county clerk he has tried to be agreeable to everyone who had business to transact in that office, shoving the patrons all the courtesy that was possible. That he is fitted for the office no one can doubt, and if given another term he will continue to give the same satisfactory service. was made to restore health to people in your condition.

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.

TOOK THE WHOLE SECTION Girl Availed Herself Thoroughly of Courtesy Extended to Her by Fellow Traveler. Some of us remember the story of the camel that wanted to put his nose into the master's tent to warm a bit. Well, that camel is still alive. The other day she got on the train, dressed very prettily and looked as if she were used to having half the world whenever she wished it. But she didn't get it, for all the Pullman seats were taken. Finally a middle-aged man, noticing her discomfiture motioned to the Pullman conductor, "I have this whole section reserved," he explained, "and since this young lady only goes to Evansville she may have a seat in it." Courtly, he rose from his seat facing the engine and indicated that she was to have it while he would ride backward. While he stood waiting for her to settle herself in it she lifted her grip, put it on the seat facing her, draped her coat beside it, also her hat, magazines, purse and a box of candy. Then she stretched herself in the choice seat, leaving not an inch of room for any other person to occupy. For a long minute the man stood regarding the bit of space beside the hat and candy box. Then he turned on his heel and went into the smoking car to stay until the train reached Evansville—Indianapolis News. JOY THAT COMES BUT ONCE Statesman Recalls Thrill of Delight That Came to Him in His Schoolboy Days. William C. Redfield, former secretary of commerce, says that he can recall with microscopic distinctions the moment that gave him the biggest thrill of delight in his whole life. It was when he was going to school and trying to master long division. Three or four aisles over from where he sat a boy yawned. It was not an ordinary yawn, but one of such genuine expression of feeling toward things in general that it attracted Redfield's attention. He was fortunate in having a paper wad right at hand, ready for any emergency, and he aimed this at the boy's cavernous mouth. By one of those rare exhibitions of magnanimity on the part of an inanimate object, the wad went right square into the goal, and Redfield's joy knew no bounds. He had played the one chance in a million and won. Encouraged by his dexterity in that instance, Redfield then tried throwing rings at knives at county fairs, but never again did he exhibit such wondrous aim. Caruso of China. Lou Hoong-Shen, the Caruso of China, is dead. You never heard of him? Yet, he died in a Shanghai theater that had contracted to pay him $10,000 a week. That's a big salary. It is phenomenally big in China, where a few cents a day will hire a strong man. Born of poor parents, Lou Hoong-Shen had to scramble for a living. But, though China is a land of musical voices (as anyone will testify who has listened to the songs of the hawker and the coole), the boy Lou stood alone. He had the most wonderful voice among 400,000,000 Chinese. Despite this, he had to work hard before he became great. For many years he was a nummer—a Chinese actor. Ten years ago he was "discovered" in Shanghai. At once he quit the paint and weird garb of a Chinese actor and became a musical star. By odd coincidence, the great Chinese tenor died from a burst blood vessel in his throat, similar to that which threatened to take the life of Caruso, now convalescent. Fox Ranching in Europe. Although it is not generally known, quite a number of foxes were sold last year to parties residing in Europe, mainly throughout Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. One rancher who has supplied a number of pairs to these Europeans, states that the industry is spreading in a truly wonderful manner in these countries, and that this year he expects to be able to sell practically all his foxes abroad. There is only one drawback at present to a general spread of the industry there, and that is the rather high cost of feeding, but this is being overcome, and the sale of breeding stock at good prices will amply cover the higher expense. The present rate of exchange is also a disadvantage, but this does not seem to affect those who want to start in at the business, as the Europeans are now used to this. There is most certainly a big field in Europe for the fox industry, and that it will some day amount to something big is a surety. The Lobster's Path The special dispatch from New London which told of the Noank fisherman who sold 2,700 pound of lobsters for more than $300, thus enabling him to pay all the expenses incurred last spring when he started to build pots, buoys, etc., probably gives only the first chapter in an interesting story. It is fair to assume that the dealer who resold them to the summer hotel was enabled to pay the expenses he incurred when he erected his new warehouse, wharves and office buildings last fall; while, it may be presumed, the summer hotel owner in retelling them to his guests cleared off the half-million-dollar mortgage he contracted when he added the ten-story marble wing earlier in the season.—Hartford (Conn.)
