Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE Dr. R. H. Boyd, Passes To The Great Beyond Aug. 23, 8:30 Baptist Preacher, Author, Banker, and Founder of the Race's Largest Printing House in America Death claimed Richard Henry Boyd, Wednesday night August 23, at 8:30, at his residence, 1602 Heiman street, Nashville, Tennessee. His wife, five children, three girls and two boys, his brother and a number of close friends were present when the end came. Messages were sent to the Baptist leaders throughout the United States. Hundred of letters and telegrams of condolence were received, expressing sympathy. his wife, five children, four brothers and three sisters. Dr. Boyd's mother died in the city of Nashville, at the age of 95. The Gazette extends deepest and sineere sympathy, to the bereaved family. U. S. Attorney-General Denounces The Ku Klux the president of the Ladies Work. A very pleasant meeting was enjoyed. The election was indeed remarkable for peace and harmony. In fact it passed off in about three minutes. Dr. H. W. Knight said in the course of his remarks, that this was out of the ordinary. Of course, the unexpected sometime happens. On Saturday we called the Board of Trustees together. Dr. W. P. Washing, and the writer. Dr. Boyd has been a patient sufferer with an extreme case of diabetes for several years. Trips to Florida, Central America, and Hot Springs, with the best medical skill failed to check the ravages of the disease. On Saturday at four o'clock he suffered a stroke of paralysis and hemorrhage of the brain, which hastened the end. Funeral services were held last Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the presence of thousands of sorrowing friends, and leading church men from every state in the union. The deceased was regarded as a tower in Babylon, tanks and often referred to as "The Grand Old Man." Dr. Boyd was among the first in Texas and perhaps the most conspicuous figure among Negroes in the great prohibition campaign movement of the Lone Star State. He was a staunch prohibitionist. He was founcer of the National Baptist Publishing Board in 1896 in Nashville, Tenn. He was secretary, treasurer and manager. He was one of the organizers of the first Negro Bank in Tenn., Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company and was its president for eighteen years. He was one of the founders and the president of The Nashville Globe Publishing Co., that has been in existence for the past eighteen years, publishing a secular Negro Newspaper. He is the founder and president of the National Baptist Supply Company, which was organized to help struggling Negro churches secure benches, pews, and church furniture and other church supplies. He was founder and president of the National Negro Doll Company, one of the staunch supporters and for years a member of the Advisory Board of the Young Men's Christian Association, a member of the Tennessee In-ter-racial Congress, a member of the Negro Knights of Pythias, the Negro Masons, the Negro U. B. F. Society and the Negro Odd Fellows of the State of Tennessee. Dr. Boyd, was married in 1869 to Hattie Moore, and from that union there were nine children born, five now living. Mrs. Annie B. Hall, of Galveston, Texas, Mrs. Lula B. Landers, Mrs. Mattei B. Johnson, Henry A Boyd, and Theophilus Bartholomew Boyd of Nashville. There survive him. his wife, five children, four brothers and three sisters. Dr. Boyd's mother died in the city of Nashville, at the age of 95. The Gazette extends deepest and sincere sympathy, to the bereaved family. U. S. Attorney-General Denounces The Ku Klux Daugherty Terms It "A Distinct Menace to Decent Government. Salem, Ore., Aug. 23.—United States Attorney-General Daugherty refers to the Ku Klux Klan as a "distinct menace to decent government," in a letter to Gov Olcott concerning the move against the Klan in Oregon. The replies to the one from Governor Alcott thinking the Federal department for co-operation in the prosecution of men said to be Klan members for alleged outrages in Jackson County. You and your assistants are rendering a signal service to the public generally as well as to your own State in endeavoring to stamp out a distinct menace to decent government." Says Attorney General Daugherty's letter. TWO IN ONE By Dr. C. C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill. Golconda, Ill., Aug. 24-22 After some days, we have concluded to snatch a little time from other matters to write up two meetings viz the East Mt. Olive Association which met in Metropolis, with the Antioch B. Church Aug. 8-12, also the North Wood River, Association which met with the Mt. Zion Baptist church Evanston, 15-19. The East Mt. Olive closed a very pleasant and profitable session; between $300 and $400. was realized. $370. and some odd, if we properly recall. It is not untimely to say that about 18 or 19 churches co-operated and not one church represented a hundred members. Between 35 and $40.00 for the Aged Ministers' Home. The Women's Auxiliary $14. The Association $24.00 for State Missions; $20.00 Supt. of Missions, $38.00. We do not recall the amount that was sent for Foreign Missions and Education, etc. The constituents of the East Mt. Olive Association for the most part have contributed from one to ten dollars. Now about the North Wood River Association. It was our good pleasure to meet that Association, exchange greetings with our friends and increase our acquaintance with others. It was a delightful meeting. Dr. B. P. E. Gayles, is the moderator; Mrs. Russell Johnson, as we recall is MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." the president of the Ladies Work. A very pleasant meeting was enjoyed The election was indeed remarkable for peace and harmony. In fact it passed off in about three minutes. Dr. H. W. Knight said in the course of his remarks, that this was out of the ordinary. Of course, the unexpected sometime happens. On Saturday we called the Board of Trustees together. Dr. W. P. Washing, and the writer, were the only two from this end of the State. Drs. E. P. Jones, Alexander, Caldwell, and a number of other b ethen were allowed to participate. Dr. Gayles, Hunter and others. Mesdames, S. B. Thomas, Hall, Francis and others whose names we cant recall. An outline was given by the moderator and Financial Secretary W. P. Washington and the writer, which was approved. Dr. Washington, also spoke in the Association respecting the work of the Aged Ministers' Home, as did he in the Ladies meeting. It was ingeed a pleasure for the writer, al o Dr. Washington to be entertained by President E. W. P. Jones, and to be associated with Dr Long, Secretary of the N. B. Educational Board. Dr. Washington preached for Dr. C. H. Clark's congregation Sunday p. m. The writer remained over and served Dr. Ewd. P. Jones', congregation at 11:00 a. m. Sunday afternoon, memorial services were held during which the sad intelligence of the serious illness of Dr. R. H. Boyd, reached us, the writer was asked to pray for same. The memorial exercises were very impressive. It was our good fortune to put up a lit le time with our long time friends Dr. H. E. and Mrs Mc Williams. White Soldier Deserts to Marry a Colored Woman Omaha, Nebraska, Aug. 21—Love, blind love played its true role last week when a white soldein married a Colored girl of this city, and defied the law against "desertion" by remaining with her over the prescribed time and is now facing life sentence or death at the hands of a court martial at the local barracks. Holmer Homerickhouse, a soldier at Fort Des Moines deserted the army and married a Colored girl, Sadie Griffith, on the 16th of this month. Rev. Saunders, a Colored minister of one of the Southeast section of the city performed the ceremony. Rev. Saunders received a call from Capt. Williams of Fort Des Moine, last Monday relative to the legality of the marriage. On Tuesday the minister received another telephone call to the effect, asking him to appear at the court martial trial, which was Wednesday morning. The soldier disappeared from the fort and donned civilian clothes only a few days before the marriage. They were living at 222 Southwest second street peaceable until his matrimonial ship was upset by intruders, as he thought. The penalty in a case of desertion carries with it death in most cases. Woman Asks Voters To Defeat Vardaman Jackson, Miss. Aug. 23.—Miss Belle Kearney, a defeated candidate for he democratic nomination for Senator from Mississippi, has issued a statement asking the voters of the state to defeat James K. Vardaman in the "run off" primary on September 5. "The solid sense of the country would deplore that statement like John Sharp Williams could be succeeded in the State by a demagogue of Vardaman stripe." The Negro too does not want Vardaman in the Senate again. It is bad enough to tolerate Pat Harrison. They desire to take a chance on Hubert D. Stephens. Vardaman is a hindrance an a disgrace to the Nation.—Exchange. Mounds. Ill. Dear Sir, I thought I would let you hear from the St. John Baptist church. We are getting along nicely under our beloved pastor. Sunday was a high day, the pastor preached at 11:00 a.m. and then we had a basket dinner. At 3:00 p.m. Rev. J. W. Wiley, of the A. M. E. church, preached to a large congregation, of all the churches, also Mound City. The choir of the First Baptist church, Mound City, rendered music and I must say they were at their best. Money raised by Club No 1 J. Muskyvalley, Captain was $128 70. Club 2, G. Mayberry, Captain, $141 10. Children's Club, B. Mathis, Captain, $56 25 Willing Workers Club, Sister Cobb, Captain, $6 57. Charitable collection $6.10. Total collection $338 72, so we closed with a very nice rally. Miss Sarah Clark, Clerk NOTICE. This is to inform the churches of the Mt.

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.

According to Randolph Bedford, in a recent number of Our World, Pago Pago is the "happiest community on earth." This island in the Samoan group is the southernmost outpost of American government. Little has been said about this colony of ours; probably there are a great many Americans who do not even know that we have it. But in our administration of its affairs we have demonstrated, according to Mr. Bedford, who is an Australian globe trotter and journalist, that we govern our colonies better than we govern ourselves. The total of the annual taxes levied on the natives is just $7. It is with mingled feelings that one reads of what Uncle Sam can accomplish for $7 a year if he has to. The Saman, according to Mr. Bedford, gets for this expenditure, "protection, work, cleanliness, electric light, good water supply, cement roads and education." When Spanish influenza was raging through the islands of the South seas, taking a cruel toll among the natives, it passed Pago by. There was not a single case throughout the entire epidemic. "Pago is a long march ahead of the average western Pacific settlement administered by the white man. The native has succeeded at no personal cost to the efficiency of the American engineer; to the smooth roads that bear his bicycle; 'aye, and to the picture show and ice cream of California."

Olive Bnpt. Association and Womens' Association are constituents of this mighty organization (Geneaal M. B. Association.) Be it therefore resolved that the members of this association go down on record as doing our part in the way of songs, prayers and money for the home. Be it also Resolved, that we the constituents of this organization pledge ourselves to the sum of $1 or more per year, or give as the Lord has prospered us. The above resolutions were offered by the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association when in session at Metropolis, in Aug. 1922. Notice of Change of Policy of this Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc. 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 100 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. The Manager.

Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race,'though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We were in the U. S., Service for six months, trying to make this country safe for "Democracy," thereby insuring the colored man an equal opportunity with other races Phone 229--Ring 3.

According to common belief, cold weather causes plants to become dormant during the fall, while warm weather the succeeding spring again incites new growth. Intensive investigations of Dr. Frederick V. Coville of the federal Department of Agriculture, which have been conducted over a period of ten years, and which have covered every phase of this subject, demonstrate that both of these traditional theories are erroneous. Dormancy in our native trees and shrubs begins some time before the start of cold weather each winter; the appearance of Jack Frost is not necessary for the establishment of complete dormancy. Furthermore, after such a condition of dormancy has developed, exposure of the plants to the ordinary growing temperature thereafter does not arouse them from their lethargy so that they begin growth anew. Interestingly enough, the Coville experiments show that plants which have responded to the lure of autumnal and winter dormancy will not react properly and resume normal growth the following spring unless they are subjected during the interim to a period of chilling. A certain amount of cold is essential to stimulating the plant growth.—Scientific American. LIARS PRETTY WELL MATCHED American Evidently Found Foeman Worthy of His Steel, in Old English Farmer. An American poultry farmer went over to England to have a look round the poultry farms there and see where the farmers were making mistakes. He did not hesitate to tell how far advanced was the art of poultry keeping in America, and spun several very tail yarns on that subject. Twenty chickens from twelve eggs appeared to be an everyday occurrence in the United States, if the stories he told could be believed. But a bluff old English farmer was not unduly impressed. "Happen, malster," said the old man, "ye have never seen as many as a hundred chickens hatched by one hen at a setting?" "Waal," answered the American, "I can't say that I have, but—" "Well, then, listen here, maister; I have," returned the farmer. "Down ipswich way we allus fill a barrel with eggs and set the old hen on the bunghole!" - Houston Post. The Sex of the Planes. When the negroes of Stanley Pool saw the first two airships of the Belgian postal service land in the Congo region, their first impulse was to run away. However, on recognizing the uniform of the officers who descended from the apparatus, they immediately returned. The next day their fear had completely disappeared. Why should they be afraid of these big birds? Were they not tamed by the white men? For they were surely a couple of birds; and without hesitation they pointed out the male bird and then the female. Asked by what they could distinguish one from the other, they replied that it was not difficult. The birds did not know the country; the male bird descended first, then he called his female, that came down to land after him. It is Mr. Louis Franck, minister of the Belgian colonies, who told this story at the Sorbonne. Grim Joke for the Professor. President H. O. Vance of Oskaloosa college said in an address in Oskaloosa: "The post-war changes have hit nobody harder than they have hit the college professor. The college professor is one of the poorest men in the world today. "A young Latin instructor proposed to a young lady and was accepted. After their first tender transports were over they fell into serious talks. "Now we are engaged,' said the young woman, 'we must begin to economize. Promise me, darling, that you won't do anything you can't afford.' "The young lady instructor laughed grimly. "If I promised you that,' he said. "I'd have to break off our engagement." "—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Pavement is Billboard. City streets and sidewalks may be converted into temporary billboards by an invention resembling a lawn-roller that prints the advertising message in water on the asphalt. As the machine is pushed along by its operator, a spray of water from the tank in the upper half passes through a perforated belt or drum that acts as a stenell. The belt is of fine wire gauze with waterproof letters fastened upon it.
