Notice We Must Put Down and Keep Down the Mob Spirit BY RICHARD YATES I REMARK in the first place that the question raised by Dyer bill is simply whether we shall give up the American experiment of self government and at intervals yield to government by the mob. For myself, I see no reason whatever to alter or change a thing I said myself at Springfield, Ill. from the governor's office on the 6th day of September, 1903, namely: "If a hundred or a thousand men, infuriated and inflamed, by passion or prejudice or intoxication or from any other cause, shall be allowed to use the power to say whether you or I on any other citizen shall live or die, then there is—and can be no-safety, no peace, and no liberty and in that case all the efforts of all the women of all the past who have struggled and fought and died for liberty have died in vain." I can see nothing in the above statement to apologize for and I do not apologize. The statement is, in substance, subscribed by every man of my name that know of; and there are hundreds of my name scattered all over the South, for I am of Southern blood. Both of my parents were born in Kentucky; my mother at the "Hub" of the "BlueGrass," Lexington. All my grandparents were born in Virginia, the blessed Old Dominion, in "Old Carolina County," near Bowling Green, and to use the language of my grandfather, Henry Yates, "In the folks of the Mattaponi." The question is, shall we have mob law and violence government by mob-in this country, for which the great Washington fought and for which the great Lincoln died, and the glory of which was and is enshrined in the souls of a hundred million American women whose graves lie out tonight "under the stars and the dew waiting the judgment day." Nature of the Mob I remark in the secod place that we ought to fully comprehend the nature of the mob. It is the mob we are after, the thing, the awful thing—the mob It is a thing of hate. It is devilish, diabolical, satanic. It is straight from hell. "It is hated by no injustice—" Says a lawyer from Geogia, before the American Bar Association, assembled in national convention at Cincinnati, September 2, 1921r— "It is halted by no injustice, no cruelties, no brutality, it is deaf to the voice of reason, mercy, and humanity; it is bosom of destruction, Such is the mob major. "Maddened by lust, plunder, passion, hunger, haired personal revenge, whose madness is superinduced by its own real or imaginary interests or gratification. "All parties ought to seek its destruction by persuasion, by teaching, and last, but neat, by the terror of the law." of it well. This government of ours, for which a million men have died in America, plus the 1000, 000 more who died in 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, and 1921; this government for which a hundred million women have agonized; this government; heir of the ages; child of the centuries; beacon light of liberty, the last hope of humanity; this government and country, for whom no czar, and no mikado, is praying today or tonight or at any time; this nation which no armed nation on earth can whip or conquer—no wonder they all scream "disarm"—may yet be menaced and possibly overthrown or crippled by mob spirit. God forbid; I do not believe that unless we put down and keep down mob spirit it will out gashes at the very root Shall Mob Rule Invade the Whole Nation? I remark in the third place, that hero, right here, is the chief reason for this bill, its reason for existence; a reason which actually clamors for passage. Mob spirit strikes at all government, and legislation concerning it is not and cannot be in this day and generation peculiar to any one section of the land. This bill is not an imputation on one section of our united country; namely, the South. It is not a bill for or against the South or any section, it is not a bill for or against the white man or any color; it is a bill to enthrone order and to dethrone disorder. it is not a bill to encourage a certain crime—that is, rape although so called by the member from Tennessee (Mr. Garrett). For every rapist murdered by a mob four others are murdered the mob. It may be so construed by some men too sensitive. It may affect temporarily that section more than another. But mob law has entered all states. It has entered my state of Illinois; has appeared in Chicago, in East St. Louis, and in Springfield since 1905, and in the time before that, when I was chief executive of Illinois, it appeared, at Danville, Ill, and in other localities. And or seven occasions when I was governor I was compelled to call out troops; four times to prevent lynching, three to put an end to riots. In Illinois we realize that mob violence is a menace every day; and we are on the watch for it now Our laws punish the participant in a mob, punish the man who during a riot or in a mob inflicts damages upon person or property-hake him pay up to $5,000-and punish the city or county where a mob operates, compelling the community to pay up to $5,000 to the surviving spouse of any person lynched. The Illinois Law The statutes, Illinois criminal code, chapter 58, paragraph 256x, section 6, of "An act to suppress mob violence" in force July 1, 1905, contain this: If any person shall be taken from the hands of a sheriff or his deputy having such person in custody and shall be lynched, it shall be prima facie evidence, of failure on the part of such sheriff to do his duty, and upon the fact being made to appear to the governor, he shall publish proclamation declaring the office of such sheriff vacant and his office shall therby and thereafter be immediately va THE NEGRO IS THE ONLY THING WITHOUT PROTECION OF THE LAW. Everthing under the sun is protected by the, except the Negro, against malicious killing or the killing out of season. Even the bob-tail and long-eared rabbit has a protection and a premium placed upon his head and a fine assessed against the ones who violate this law. The time for killing rabbits ran out on the 31st of Jan. The Negro is without such protection, and it is the only American pastime allowed, under the law of the United States. Think of it, an American citizen, law abiding, innocent industrious one. Who's and by the Government and the Pig of this country without any protection with men representing themselves as lawmaker of the land advocating an open sensa for the slaughtering of Negroes who have always defended this country against a foreign foe. Can, Can you think of anything more inhuman more friendlilh, more damnable, than this American, diabolical crime? The God, the creator of all mankind, surely doth live and the perpetuators and their abettors of this crime that is being meted by a number of so-called legislators will atone for their evil deeds in due time, for vengeance belongeth to Him and He will surely repay in due time, when they least suspect or illly prepared to meet it cated." At least one county has lately paid heavily in damages, and I think three have. Our good and decent people have not thus far resented this—do not call it an imputation. And our law authorize our governor to summarilly remove a cowardly or shirking sheriff. It is no longer any fun, no longer a good joke in our state at least, for a sheriff or officer having a prisoner in custody to look the other way. Our people approve this law, too; it was thought that perhaps it would dot be enforced, but it has been enforced. Illinois will not tolerate mob violence if it can help it. It is highly resolved to put it down. Illinois will eventually stamp it out, root and branch. And the great government of the United States and the great Congress of the United States can do no more righteous work and no more vial work for our children than to stamp this monster, this brutality, this demon into the earth. We have reached, once again in American history, the condition of 1837. To be continued next week: The Citizens. Savings Bank and Trust Company of Nashville, Rev. Henry A. Boyd, president is now preparing to move into the Y. M. C. A. Building. The bank will occupy the spacious "lobby" of that building. The room is being beautifully decorated, and the Citizens Bank will have the largest and most beautiful home of any Negro Bank in the South — The Union Review.

Pontotoc, Miss., Jan. 29 = Will Bell 20, a Negro charged with attack on a young white woman here last night was taken from officers early today as he being transferred to Jackson, Miss., for safe keeping, and was shot to death by a number of unidentified men, who intercepted the officers near town, as they were taking the prisoner to a train. Sheriff Blaylock ring the Negro would be lynched, arraigned with the conductor of the Jackson train to stop outside the town for the prisoner, and accompanied by a number of deputies, made a rush for train in a closed automobile. On the clock 11:10, Tototoc, an then closed car was drawn across the road, blocking traffic. When the sheriff's car, stopped an unidentified man jumped from the blockading automobile and pulling aside the side curtains of the heriff's car, emptied his revolver into the body of the Negro before officers could interfere. The Negro fell across the running board of the car and ussiade of shots from men hidden in the other car ended his life. The members of the mob drove away, and efforts to identify them, or the car they were driving have failed. Robert L. DolMar Announces For Assessor and Treasurer The name of Robert L.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj 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.

CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF Fred Risinger Former County Glerk To Make The Race. In this issues of The Gazette will be found the announcement of Fred Risinger as a candidate for Sheriff There is probably no man in Massac county better known than Fred Risinger. He served the county one term as County Clerk and it was considered by all that he made one of the best county clerks that the county ever had. In asking the voters for the office of Sheriff, he is doing so feeling confident that he can fill the office to the satisfaction of all. During his term as county clerk it was his aim to treat every person who had business at the office with the utmost courtesy, and he will handle the sheriff's office in the same manner. When he made the race for clerk the second time he was defeated by a very small vote, and it was conceded by everyone that the reason for his defeat was because he would not neglect his duties as county clerk to make the campaign He remained in his office and attended to his duties first. If elected sheriff the voters can be assured that he will give the same service, giving it all his attention, being ready to attend to any duties that may fall to him, either day or night. Mr. Risinger expects to start an active campaign at once and will endeavor to see every voter and present his claims personally. "I don't need them very often, but when I do, I need them quick. One or two and the pain is gone." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills will relieve you quickly and safely—no unpleasant after-effects—no danger of forming a drug habit. Next time you pass a drug store stop in and get a box. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills contain no habit forming drugs. Your Druggist Has Them. Tell Your Pastor That You Enjoy His Sermons. 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. S. Bartlett Kerr.

METROPOLIS. ILL Loren Smith, clerk of the circuit court W. L. Krose, complainant's Solleiter. WITH HER SOLDIER HUSBAND Wife of General Grant Accompanied Him on Hie Campaigns Whenever It Was Possible. Like Penelope of old, Julia Dent Grant was wedded to a soldier named Ulysses. Also like Penelope, her husband journeyed around the world. But there the resemblance ceases. Mrs. Grant herself is quoted by historians as saying: "Having learned a lesson from my predecessor, Penelope. I accompanied my Ulysses in his wanderings around the world." Julia Dent Grant was born in St. Louis, the daughter of Frederick Dent, a prominent man of that city, says the Detroit News. At the age of eighteen, shortly after she had completed her studies at an exclusive school, the charming girl met Ulysses Simpson Grant, then only a浛tenant. He was stationed at Jefferson barracks in St. Louis. It was not long before the young people were deeply in love. After the war with Mexico they were married. Like that of most wives of soldiers, Mrs. Grant's life was one of constant moving about, until she fell ill, and was not able to accompany her husband to California, whither he had been ordered. She spent two years at the home of her parents and at the end of this time Captain Grant resigned from the army, that he might be near her. The CIVB war brought him back into the service and it was during this time that Julia Grant revealed her brave and hardy spirit. She was with her husband whenever it was possible, and spent all of her time on or near the scene of action. She saw him twice inaugurated President. ILL-LUCK IN "THREE PIECES" Ancient Superstition That Has Strong Hold on the Mind of Almost Every Japanese. You must never take three pieces of any cut food on your plate at one time, nor must you ever offer three pieces of cut food to anyone at one time. There will be bloodshed if you do, according to old Japanese superstition. Why? Well, three pieces is Mi Kire, three cuts, and it may also be, in the spoken language, Mi wo kiru, in another inflection, meaning "to cut the body." Somewhat far-fetched, but it holds strong sway in the minds of every living Japanese. Furthermore you must never cut only three baby dresses out of one piece of material. One "tun" the usual length of piece goods will make exactly three baby dresses, and leave a small remnant. This remnant, if you wish the baby you are sewing for not to suffer from grievous body wounds, you will cut into some part of another dress, the neckband, the belt, or anything you please, so long as the entire cutting from the piece is more than Mi Kire, "three cuts." The curious belief in sympathetic magic is strong in every walt of Japanese life, and in every act of daily existence. Captain Cook's Ship The Endeavour, in which Captain Cook sailed from Plymouth on August 25, 1768, was bought at the modest price of £2,800. The small tonpage of the Endeavour was, to Cook's practical mind, one of her chief merits. She could be easily careened and easily handled, and when he was struggling with the currents of the Great Barrier Reef her captain was able to thrust out oars through the ports of the vessel and thus turn her into a gallery. He crowded into this small ship a complement of 85 men, with provisions for nearly two years. The main object of Cook's expedition was to take some astronomers to Tabilid to observe the transit of Venus, but he was instructed to proceed ahead to "make discoveries in the south Pacific ocean." It was in pursuit of this secondary object that the Endeavour won her place in the history of exploration.—Manchester Guardian. No Perpetual Motion. Perpetual motion has been the dream of visonories for centuries. Many men have labored and experimented on the making and invention of perpetual machines, but all have failed. If such a machine were invented, it would, after it had been once set in motion, keep in motion without drawing on any external source of energy. A machine of this description would entirely controveri the established principle of the conservation of energy, and since the establishment of that principle the search of a perpetual motion had been judged visionary. Perpetual motions have been founded on the hydrostatic paradox, on capillary attraction, on electricity and magnetism, but in every case the result has been a failure. When Fainting Was Fashionable Referring to "Santo Sebastiano," a popular Victorian novel, a critic made a computation of the number of fainting-fits that occur in the course of five volumes: Julia de Clifford 11, Lady Delamore 4, Theodosia 4, Lord Glenbrook 2, Lord Delamore 2, Lady Enderfie 1, Lord Ashgrove 1, Lord St. Orville 1, Henry Mildmay 1. A single passage selected for no other reason than because it is the shortest, will serve as a specimen of these catastrophes: "One of the sweetest smiles that ever animated the face of mortal now diffused itself over the face of Lord St. Orville, as he fell at the feet of Julia in a death-like swoon."

Laura Leake, District Pres. M. J. Hudson, Sec. Dr. Edward P. Jones, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church and president of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) attended the Board meeting in Nashville, Tenn., last week the 25th ultimo, and on his return home he visited Paducah, Ky., and was entained by I. W. Crawford pastor of the Washington st., Baptist church and his people and was royally received. He addressed the audience at length on the needs and work of the Educational and Publishing Boards and the Convention. He visited Metropolis, on the 27th and was the house guest of Rev. G. W. Prince and wife. He was accompanied by Dr. Crawford, who spent a few hours in the city with Rev. Prince pastor of the First Baptist church. Dr. Jones, delivered an address at the above named church at night to an appreciative and attentive audience. After the close of the meeting he was entertained at the pasonage by the pastor and officers of the church where ice cream and cake was served. Dr. Jones was very much impressed with the reception accorded hin by the pastors and members of both Paducah and Metropolis. He left on Saturday morning for home. He informed us that the Board decided by a vote to change the meeting of the National Baptist Convention from Denver, Colorado to Nashville, Tenn. This was a wise choice, as as our school and Publishing House are there. Begin now to prepare and make this meeting one of the greatest in the history of the organization.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat Prints the Authentic, Unbiased Record of every Home and Foreign News Event Every Day- Its News Gathering Organization Covers the Earth Humphrey Marshall, author of the first American Botany, was a distinguished pioneer horticulturist. He was a cousin of John Bartram, and his own garden at Marshalltown, Pa., was almost as famous as the well-known Bartram's garden at Kingssing. In 1780 Humphrey Marshall began to prepare an account of the forest trees and shrubs of this country, which was completed and printed at the end of 1785. Its full title was "Arbustian American; the American Grove; or an Alphabetical Catalogue of the Trees and Shrubs. Natives of the American United States." It was considered a useful and highly creditable work for the times. Marshall was the author also of the "Introduction to the Knowledge and Practice of Gardening" which was the second horticultural work printed in American. It appeared in 1789.

Daily and Sunday for club of three or more, $10.63 for each yearly subscription. Krakaton, a volcanic island in the Strait of, Sanda, between Java and Sumatra, was in 1883, the scene of one of the most incognitious volcanic disturbances on record. The crater walls fell in, together with a part of the ocean bed, carrying with it two thirds of the island, which had a total area before the grumption of 13 squares miles, and creating two small islands, which subsequently disappeared. At the same time a gigantic ocean wave immediate the atliping coasts of Java and Sumatra, causing a loss of 26,500 lives and the destruction of 300 villages, and then careened round the entire globe. The noise of the eruption was heard for a distance of 2,000 and even 3,000 miles. The occurrence likewise set up a series of concentric atmospheric waves, which traveled at least three times around the earth. The dust and other finely contributed debris cast up by the explosion gave rise during three years of more to wred sun glows of wondrous beauty, those seen in Canada and other parts of North America in November, 1883, being especially grand.

There was something different about this home that seemed to attract the child more than any other. Here he was amused by an elderly man, who read, played the piano, slept and old nothing to mark him as the head of a household. His wife on the other hand carried on an successful department store where she spent twelve of the twenty-four hours. We have had over 23 years of Active Experience in the printing office and will give you the benefit of same just for the asking on that next job of yours. "Let Us Show You." This condition seemed quite contrary to the child's conception of domestic life. To him the day of the head of the house was to leave after breakfast for business and return at night to dinner, while the wife was to step at home and attend to the household duties. The child's mother returned and noticed that the child looked puzzled, but could not put his query into words. Finally he asked: "Mother, is she a be?"—New York Sys. Try us.

"Namby Pamby." There is much curious employment for the speculative person in considering the origin of things and phrases. There is, in fact, an altogether unexpected and rich field of strange learning to be acquired in this direction by one who has the will to it. How, for instance, did the odd expression "namby-pamby" arise, to indicate some one of a mild and jeune nature, a milion? The original Namby Pamby was a mild and well-meaning poetaster, Ambrose Phillips, who flourished in the Eighteenth century, and was the butt of the critics of that age. Pope satirized him, and we find Carey writing, "Nurses got by heart Namby Pamby's little rhymes." The expression is thus seen to be in its origin a play upon a personal name. Crowded Orchard. Prof. L. C. Corbett of the United States Department of Agriculture says he found in England a specimen of intensive fruit culture the like of which he has never encountered before. Apple trees are planted in rows 14 feet apart. Between these are plum trees flunked by gooseberries and currant bushes. The growth is so dense that the work of cultivation must be done by hand, and spraying is done by the installation of a permanent piping system. The company which owns this farm maintains a preserving plant for making jam when the fresh fruit cannot be profitably disposed of. 100.
