Whites Murder And British Government Demand Miami Fla., Aug. 3 — The wanton, murder and robbery of Captain Edgecomb, Negro captain of the British schooner William H. Albury, by white thugs has again roused the interest of the British representatives in Florida. Following the maltreatment of a colored blacksmith, a British subject, and the running out of a Florida town of British clergyman a few months ago this last evidence of southern brutality is expected to be followed by definite action. Miami police are following the usual southern dodge when a Negro is murdered by white men and claiming that they have been unable to locate the murders. it is generally known here that the murderers are members of the OLD RAMBLE Saturday Aug. 12, we left Metropolis, for Mound City, where we had an appointment to preach on Sunday Aug. 13, for the First Missionary Baptist church, with Rev. A. F. Daniel, pastor. We took the Hood and Meyer Auto Bus Line to Karnak, making the distance of 22 miles via this route. We were in company of Rev. S. H. Pruitt, who had been attending the East Mt.

The murder occurred off Gun Key and $2,000 was taken from the murdered man's safe aboard his schooner. The progress of the case, will be watched with interest. Colored residents of Florida coast towns are watching to see the effect of British interest in her colored nationals. Students of international affairs are interested to see the outcome of the British action in view of the fact that the United States disclaim responsibility to foreign governments for protection of aliens against violence committed under state statutes.

City, to visit relatives and a young lady whose name we did not learn, who was returning Md. City, her home from a visit of several weeks with Mrs. Crossland, and Mrs. Nila Casey who was going to Joppa, for a visit. We made the trip successfully to Joppa, but a short way out from Joppa, the truck broke down MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." from the heavy load of freight and passengers. We were stuck for a while; a wagoon took part of the freight to Mermet, and a touring car came from Metropolis, and in a short while we were in Karnak, where we boarded the Big Four train for our destination at 6:19, and at 7:00 p. m. we were in Md. City, and soon made our way to the home of Rev. A. F. Daniel, thre stopped during our stay in the city. We soon had our supper. We found the city all astir, as the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor were celebrating the anniversary of the order in the court house yard. At 8:00 they repaired to the hall, where the officers were installed by the Chief Grand Mentor Rev. Fisher. of Lovejoy. As the Mt. Olive Baptist Association is to convene with the First Missionary Baptist church Md. City, Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in September, we went there in the interest of the district work, being moderator of the Association. We visited the S. S. at 9:30 a.m. and after the close of the lesson were called on to review the lesson and at 11:00 entered the pulpit with Rev. C. W. Scates, and the pastor. We delivered a short sermon from Matt. 7:25, to the satisfaction of a small but an appreciative audience. At 3:20 Rev. C. W. Norment, pastor of St. John Baptist church, Mounds, his choir, and congregation filed into the church and soon the service was opened. We read the 1st chapter of Romans and Music by the choir, then Rev Wm Bell, pastor of New Bethel Mounds, offered prayer; music by the choir of Mounds. Then Rev. C. W. Norment, was present ed to the congregation and selected for a text, Rom 1:16 from which he preached a strong spiritual sermon Collection $12.55. The St. John Baptist church choir rendered some fine music We find that the First Baptist church has a splendid choir and they say that we will hear some singing during the association. At 7:45 we preached again to an attentive congregation and they were well pleased with the services rendered during our visit. We found that Rev. Daniel had the church work well in hand and the members looking forward and making preparations to care for the association and large delegation that will gather at that church in September. Rev. Norment and his congregation of Mounds have promised to help in case of need, the Zion Traveller Baptist church, Rev. Cole, of the A. M. E. church and the local ministers have likewise expressed a willingness to assist in entertaining the delegation. The officers, members, ministers, Rev. Scates and wife authorized us to urge all ministers and messengers coming to the association to come prepared to stay over Sunday, as they would be prepared to care for all who came. Rev. Bell pastor of the New Bethel Baptist church, came to see if the First Church was going to care for the association, if not, he said that above named church members said in their business meeting on Saturday they would take it off their brands but he was soon told that the association would be cared for royally. The amount of money raised during day $23.50. The pastor and church haave put on a trhee weeks financial drive. We attended the Ministers' Alliance at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday at the A. M. E. church, the meeting was quite interesting. A short review of the sermons delivered on Sunday by the different preachers was given, then an important discussion followed as to the proper steps to be taken by the ministers and churches to curb the S ncy baseball and the churh members attending the dance and dancing which is sapping the spiritual life and usefulness from the young christians. Seveal plans were advanced, some of which will be finally worked out. The place the Bible should occupy in the public school was also discussed. Then came the adjournment after a very profitable meeting. We returned to the home of Rev. Daniel where we ate dinner. We were well cared for while in this lovely home. Sister Daniel is an excellent cook and takes delight in entertaining a minister $ c $ God. We left at 3:40 p. m. for Vienna, leaving behind us mary friends. We arrived at Vienna, at 5:00 p. m. and went to lovely home of Brother and Sister S. T. Oliver, our old friends, and found her awaititing our arrival, who met us at the door with a cordial welcome and we were soon seated feeling very much at home. She had expected us on an earlier train and had sent Master Paul Latham, to meet us. After a short chat the hostess repaired to the kitchen and in a very short while we were invited into the dining room to supper where we partook of a very bountyfully prepared meal. She is a splendid cook and takes delight in preparing for her guest. At 7:45 we were ushered into the church and to our surprise found Rev. H. Green, of Harrisburgh, awaiting our arrival, who preached for them on Sunday and hearing of our intended visit remained over to meet us. He was to preach for them Wednesday night the 16th. Devotional services was conducted by deacon Oliver, then our old friend Rev. G. W. Wheeler, read the Scriptures, and prayer was offered by Rev. H. Green, afterwhich Rambler was introduced and delivered a short sermon from the subject "Work," Matt. 7:24. At the close of the sermon singing and the hand of fellowship was given then Elders Wheeler and Green, spoke in glowing terms of the sermon and its affect on a sleepy and decaying church. There are several church members here but the spiritual life is at a low ebb. After the benediction many persons came forward and shook our hand, inviting us to return soon and preach again. We found many of our old acquaintances, but for the most part the ones we formerly knew had either died or moved away. May God infuse new spiritual life and christian energy in these members that they may realize their responsibility to God for fruit and light bearing in the community and they may get up and UNDERTAKING A SPECIALTY NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

Moore, of our city was honored by being appointed Supervisor of Dist. 3 of the G. U. O. of Odd Fellows of Ill., and Jurisdiction, by Grand Master, Geo. T. Kersey. This is the first appointment given to this end of the State in about 15 yeaes, and speaks well for Mr. Moore., as to his ability and knowledge of Odd Fellowship, it being his first visit to the Grand Lodge. This commission gives him the authority to visit as star up as Joliet, and takes in the Southern tier of counties. The Gazette Staff is in deep sympathy with County Superintendent of Schools, Luther L. Evers, in the loss of his wife. We commend him to God who doeth all things well, for consolation in the time of his great sorrow. He alone can bring peace to his heavy heart and troubled soul. May that heart be healed with the blessed thought, that she has gone from a world of sorrow and sickness to a land of eternal bliss, and you may meet her again if you are only faithful until death. It is not so much in what you say about paying for the Old Ministers' Home, but what you give in dollars and cents that will count in the Rally the Fifth Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Baptist. We are depending on your dollar, don't be too small at heart to give to the cause. Shall we be disappointed in you? Surely not. At the close of the S. S. Convention of the Mt.

Olive Association next month at Mound City, send in their names to Rev. A. F. Daniel, pastor, at once, so he may be able to have his committee secure homes If you will do this, you will greatly lesson the burden of the committee and pastor. J. B. McCiaray, Moderator. It is said, that the miners are threatening to vote the Democratic this fall because of some things President Harding said in his efforts to settle the strike.

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.

There is general talk among the Negroes of the various states of not supporting the Republican ticket this year, as there seems to be a general dissatisfaction among them as to they feel that they have not received their share of patronage from the Administration and the failure to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill, notwithstanding they have a large majority in the Sen- ate. If they can afford to juggle with the rights, lives and what concerns the Negroes for political purposes to please the South and the Democratic politicians, the Negroes reason they are playing the part of a hypocrite and not entitle to their suffrage. There are some Congressmen and Senators who no doubt will lose their seats this year on the unfavorable attitude toward the Negro if they carry out their threat. Harrisburg.

Notice is hereby given by the manager of this paper, that beginning with August 1st there will be a charge on all matter sent here for publication except purely news. All papers, Obituaries, Programs, Resolutions, Essays, Sermons, Personal Write-ups, etc. There will be a charge of $1.00 for the above named for 15 lines and all articles containing more than 15 type lines 10c will be charged for every additional line. This does not apply to news of the churches. We are compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we have been giving away hundaeds of dollrrs annually paying for setting type for such things in which the general public is not interested in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride or Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches to the galleries, preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far as it goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other inequalities and evils which contaminate the race fifty two weeks in the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work is inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are doing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too, these same race papers are doing job work for some of best business firms and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long as they boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financial assistance. There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that accounts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter under careful advisement and have concluded to place a small charge on all matter, except purely news. All Associational, Conventional matter we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of in a more systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting. Our experience at the meetings in the past forces us to make this request. No one who believes in a just compensation for honest work will object to this requirement.

It had been left for a moment outside a barber's shop by the mother, while she went to attend to her other child, whose hair was being cut.

Some people say the Chinese are so poor that it will be difficult to increase their trade with us, writes Robert Dollar in the Nation's Business. I say that opportunities in China are greater than in any other country, and I will illustrate how this trade can be enlarged with a conversation I once had with a Chinese on a street in his native city. I said to him: "We are going to increase trade here by increasing the purchasing power of the people." "But," said he, "it cannot be done." At that moment a wagon load of lumber from my lumber yard came along; it was being pulled by thirteen men. It was in the winter and snow lay on the ground, but those men were all barefooted. I was paying them eight cents a day. I said: "You take those thirteen men off that wagon, put a horse there with one man to drive and put the other twelve men into a factory and you will increase their purchasing power. They will buy more and develop the commerce of your country." I asked him how many persons in China were going barefooted, and he repited that there must be 100,000,000 anyway, if not more. I told him that they were going barefooted from necessity and not from choice and that if they could earn more they would not go barefooted. Each one of them wanted to buy a pair of shoes and stockings. Maybe a shoe manufacturer will read this. What would it mean to him to supply 100,000,000 people? And bear in mind that shoes are not the only necessities that these 100,000,000 people are doing without for the simple reason that they have been too poor to buy. ORIGIN OF COATS OF ARMS Employed as Method of Recognition in Days When Learning Was in Its Infancy. Almost every name of European origin, which has been passed down for the centuries unchanged, except for a slight alteration in its spelling, had in the earliest time, before surnames were used, and when language was undeveloped and few could read or write, a totem or seal, which represented it. The toten was used as a seal. All persons of property had a seal, and when knighthood was introduced in feudal times, after the Roman era, the device of the seal was painted on the knight's shield, and he was known thereby when the helmet was closed in warfare or in tournaments. The earliest knights had no crest. Later, when the knights in a family multiplied, crests on the top of the helmets were adopted to distinguish those who bore similar arms on their shields. Crests represented the Christian name, the arms the surname. The arms were often printed or embroidered on the knight's mantel and horse blanket, and hence was termed "coat of arms." Odd African Bush Tribe. The strangest people in the world, according to Mrs. Harry Kaigh Eustace, who is here on her way to England and Africa, are the women of a bush tribe in the Gordonia desert, central southwest Africa. These women, she says, have developed glands in the back in which they store water, like camels. When they drink a great deal of water, the glands make them appear deformed. After a few days in the desert, with little or no water, their reserve supply is absorbed and they look normal. They can go without water longer than a camel. Mrs. Eustace, whose husband is a big game hunter, is English, and has spent 12 years in Africa shooting big game with camera and gun. She is preparing for her ninth expedition, and is in New York after a visit to San Francisco. She says snakes are really affectionate when you get to understand them, and make good pets. Home Hunters Take All Except Ghost. It was a haunted house in a gossip neighborhood, relates the New York Herald. Residents assembled daily and talked in muffled tones of spirits and queer noises. With such advance advertising the real estate agent found it difficult to get a "prospect" near the house. As a last resort he decided to have the place redecorated and to install new electric fixtures and plumbing. The work had scarcely been completed when the agent heard a "live one" had visited the property. Rushing off to the caretaker he inquired breathlessly: "Is it true that someone has taken the house?" "No, sir, not yet," replied the caretaker, "but they've taken the fixtures, piping and doorknobs. Perhaps they'll come back for the house." The Last Resort. In answer to the returned summer visitor's questions as to the welfare of Mr. Padgett and his whereabouts, Mr. Dorkin replied that "Jake" was teaching at the little red schoolhouse on Harly's hill. "But I thought—" "Well, he is," admitted Mr. Dorkin, understandingly, "an' he gets more 'n' more muddleheaded all the time. But what else could we do? We had to put him in as schoolmaster to keep him off the town. "We ain't groin' to pauperize a man," he added, to lotly, "if we can find anyhin' for him, to do."—Pittsburgh Dispatch NEW YORK IN FIRST PLACE American Metropolis Has Crowded Out London as the Largest City in the World. New York has surpassed London in population, according to the New York city census committee, if the same radius of territory is included within the New York city limits as is calculated in the London figures. In a statement issued by Dr. Walter Laid- law, executive secretary, figures show that within a radius of nineteen miles of the City hall there was on January 1, 1920, a population of 344,508 more persons than in the metropolitan police district of "Greater London," says the New York Herald. Greater London, it is explained, includes not only London county, but an "outer ring" in which the metropolitan police have specified powers and duties. The Greater London suburban area, irregular in outline, extends as far in some directions as nineteen miles from Charing Cross," says Dr. Laidlaw. "It seems proper, therefore, to include in comparing Greater London and New York suburban territory within nineteen miles of the City hall." This radius reaches Tottenville, Staten island; part of Westchester and Nassau counties, and the part of New Jersey that includes Newark, Jersey City and other large population centers immediately adjacent to New York. The population of Greater London on June 19, 1921, was 7,476,168, while that of "Largest New York," including the outlying districts, on January 1, 1920, was 7,824,676. London increased in the thirty years between 1931 and 1920, 1,844,362 persons, while Largest New York increased, between 1900 and 1910, 1,879,546 persons. SIAM HAS LEPER "VILLAGE" Plague-Stricken Patients Fill Offices in the Town Government and Assist in Work. A progressive Siamese leper "village" is described by the Bangkok correspondent of the London Daily Mail. Wonderful progress has been made during recent times with regard to the treatment of lepers in this neighborhood, many scores having been housed at the Chengmai leper asylum, which was established with the joint aid of the Siamese government and the mission to lepers some thirteen years ago. This asylum is run on the lines of a Siamese village, with a village headman chosen by the lepers themselves. The leper has been made to think that he is still a useful citizen of the state, and not a social outcast as heretofore. They work under their headman, look after the roads, and attend to the clearing of the jungles. There are two schools within the settlement for children of the lepers and the attendance is good, despite the fact that most of the pupils suffer from the terrible disease. The plague-stricken boys and girls, with their nerveless, deformed fingers, work as hard as their more fortunate leprosy-free schoolmates in the other school of the asylum. The asylum has its own currency, so that the coins can be avoided by the outside world. Steam Shovels Disturb Indians' Sleep The slumbers of prehistoric Indians buried in the Southwest before the time of Christ will be rudely disturbed this summer by the raucous growl of the modern steam shovel. Self-dumping cars, trackage, derricks and other up-to-date paraphernalia will be used for scientific excavation in the ancient Pueblo Bonito, in Chaco canyon, by Dr. Neil M. Judd, curator of American archeology of the Smithsonian institution. Doctor Judd left Washington to conduct this work under the auspices of the National Geographic society. He thinks his work may result in connecting the period in which these Pueblo Indians lived with the Mayan race in British Honduras, of whom there is record as far back as 95 B. C. Mosquitoes Dislike These Odors. Where mosquitoes abound, a preparation combining one ounce of oil of citronella with four ounces of melted vaseline should be rubbed on the face and hands. Persons who object to the odor of citronella could use this: castor oil one ounce, alcohol one ounce, oil of lavender one ounce. Both preparations were used by workers in the Panama canal zone and gave great relief until the extermination of mosquitoes was undertaken. Neither preparation should be allowed to get into the eyes. Miles of Wire in This Apparatus. A million-volt transformer of 1,000 KVA capacity is being built by a leading electric company for its experimental laboratory at Trafford City, Pa. The windings of this transformer contain nearly 70 miles of wire. The terminal bushing is the largest ever built in the Westinghouse shops. Special machines had to be fitted to turn the bushing on this account. Its length is 19 feet, and it is $41\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter. The static shield will be 10 feet in diameter and 20 inches deep. The bushing will weigh about 9,000 pounds when completed. Force of Habit. Baseball Manager—Say, four men stole bases on you today.

In southern Oklahoma not far from the Texas boundary, a group of 30 healing springs, all of cold sparkling water, were set apart by congress in 1904 under the title of the Platt national park. Most of them are sulphur springs; others are impregnated with bromides and other mineral salts. Many thousands yearly visit the bordering city of Sulphur to drink these waters; many camp in or near the reservation; the bottled waters bring relief to thousands at home. All these Platt springs, like those at Hot Springs, Ark., were known to the Indians many generations before the coming of the white settler. According to a Chickasaw legend, two warriors competed for the hand of Deerfoot, a chieftain's daughter. Both were killed by jumping off a cliff. Then Deerfoot also jumped and killed herself. The chief on the hilltop cried so many briny tears that, according to Indian tradition, they filtered down through the cliff and mingled with the spring water, to which they imparted remedial qualities. THE DEVIL-FISH IN DEMAND Delicacy, Dried and Fresh, in All Sizes, Never Missing From the Stores of Manhattan. The devil-fish tribe, big and small, dried and fresh, are never missing from the stores of the Italian, Greek, Spanish, Turko and Mongol colonies of Manhattan. They range in size from the small squid to the giant cuttlefish. The cuttlefish can also always be obtained, from one year's end to another, pickled and canned in its own ink. Sun-dried oysters are always obtainable at Mongol stores throughout the country. They never use canned oysters. The bivalves are sold on ruttan, and circled (after drying) for hanging up in stores. Lobsters' tails, sun-dried, are a great delicacy with the Greeks, and are imported regularly. A caviar is imported from the Heilenes and all along the Asia Minor seaboard. It is the roe of the bushra which is salted down, mild-cured and sun-dried to a firm compactness which makes the article almost as hard as wood. Then it is steeped in and given an effective coating of beeswax. This will preserve it for years and the slightly fragrant beeswax film will hold its faint honeylike odor for as long. This is the real original Turkish caviar. Birds That Fell Trees. A bird's nest is big as a house! It sounds a tall order, and you might think that only some kind of super-ostrich could make it. As a matter of fact, it is built by a little fellow no bigger than a canary. South African society birds like company. They live in large colonies, all the members of which build in the same tree. Each pair constructs a nest of mud, joining its walls to those of its next-door neighbors. As the colonies are several thousand strong, the bird town soon reaches a very respectable size. The following season the colony occupies the same tree, building new nests on top of the old ones. The tree creaks and grouns, but the society birds take no notice. Sometimes the huge mass of nests comes crashing down, and the air is filled with dust, feathers, and frightened squeaks. But often the tree it self is weighed down by the industrious colonizers, until eventually it collapses beneath the weight of their homes. Curious Mediterranean Fish. Curious Mediterranean Fish. A creature which has a beak like a parrot, cheek pouches like those of a monkey, and chews its cud like a cow inhabits the warm waters of the Mediterranean. It browses on the weeds that flourish on the sea floor. Its upper and lower jaws have become hardened into a sharp curved beak, which is just the tool required for lopping off tough seaweed. Each piece snipped off by the beak is passed into one of the two curious pouches which adorn the cheeks, and there it remains until the parrot fish feels that it has collected enough for a good meal. It then chews the cut by means of the splendid set of teeth, which nature has placed not in its mouth, but in its throat. Freak Memory of a German. Herr Otto Schrader of Berlin is reputed to have the most marvelous memory in the world. The German Meteorological society tested it recently. "What was the weather the other day—say November 26, 1890?" the president of the society asked Schrader. Schrader never hesitated: "It was very clear before dawn," said Schrader. "In the afternoon it was cloudy, with snow flurries. The temperature was two or three degrees above freezing." And Schrader was right, the German scientists found out on checking up. Several American theatrical men are said to be after him to appear on the vaudeville stage in the United States this summer. ```markdown ``` Page Four Subscription Rates Reduced You can now subscribe for the good old St. Louis GlobeDemocrat by mail at the following subscription rates effective February 1, 1922: Daily only Daily & Sunday 12 months $6.00 $8.50 6 months 3.25 4.50 3 months 1.75 2.50 These prices are now back to normal and as low as formerly, considering that approximately $2.00 more per yearly subscription is paid the government for postage than a few years ago.
