Preston News Service) MACON, GA., Aug. 10—U. S. Postoffice Inspectors were busy here last Monday investigating why Chief of Police Marshall Thompson failed to furnish a policeman to accompany a Negro collector in business district on Sunday night. The collector was halted by groups of men three times and threatened by them, it is claimed. The collector reported the matter to Postmaster Rudisill, who asked for police protection for the collector and failed to receive it. As a result the postmaster called off the collection until next morning. The chief of Police claims that when the request was made the entire force was busy. It is thought that charges against the official will be made the postal authorities. It is said that a force of police guarded the home of C. H. Douglass, a wealthy Negro, on Saturday and Sunday nights, to prevent him from being harmed. Postal authorities take the position that if this was done, an officer should have been furnished to accompany the Negro mail collector. Legion Picnic On 4th.

(By The Associated Negro Press) MACON, GEORGIA, Aug. 18- Spasmodic firing at colored men and a search by hundreds of persons headed by sheriff's deputies for "Cocky" Glover, colored, followed the killing of Walter C. Byrd, a deputy sheriff, and the wounding of three colored men here in a shooting affray in a Negro poolroom. The killing followed the entry into the poolroom of Deputy Byrd, accompanied by Deputies Romus Raley and Will Jakes, the latter colored, in search of a criminal. Glover, who police said they knew well, was accused of having shot Byrd in the back. Georgia Shows Signs OF A Change. MAAGON, GA., Aug. 16—"Lynch Law Must Go" They are still at it in Georgia, which seems destined to sink to much lower levels in the scale of civilization. An extra heavy guard was ready here to be thrown around the Bibb county jail to protect three men held in connection with the murder several months ago of A. L. Allgood, a street car conductor. The guard was assembled early the police received word that several hundred persons had gathered in Central City park and were planning an attack on the county jail. Later reports said, however, that the crowd had dispersed without making any sort of demonstration. FEAR RACE ROIT. The precautionary steps followed a day of excitement in Macon and uneasiness on the part of the authorities, who expressed fears of a serious race clash growing out of the lynching at Holton, near here, of John Glover, charged with the murder here of the Deputy Sheriff Walter C. Byrd. Glover was taken from an Atlanta train at Griffin and shot to death. Scenes of disorder and the display of uncertain temperaments were witnessed when the body was brought back to Macon and dumped into the street in front of a colored theater, where it remained in a half upright position for some time. Men of all ages jammed into Broadway and fought their way to the body, seeking souvenirs. WILL PROBE LYNCHING Officers believe that the prompt closing the business section of Broadway, the scene of the recent disorders in which Deputy Byrd was killed, prevented a race clash. Judge W. E. H. Searcy of the Monroe circuit announced that he would call a special session of the grand jury at Forsyth for the fourth Monday in August to investigate the lynching of Glover. "Lynch Law Must Go." WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 18— "Lynah Law Must Go." The state department has received a protest from the Mexican government against the alleged killing of two Mexican citizens and the beating up of others in connection with massacre st Herrin, Ill. The department has acknowledged receipt of the message, and has given its assurance that the whole case will be investigated. It is understood that proper representations have been made to the governor of Illinois, and that when the Illinois authorities have competed their investigations a further reply will be made to the Mexican government. BASIS OF MEXICAN PROTEST The Mexican protest is based on two different phases of evidence. The first is the formal acknowledgment of the governor of Illinois that two Mexicans were killed during the massacre at Herrin and others beaten up The second embraces depositions from the Resendiz brothers, Mexican citizens, who have been undergoing treatment in Kansas City for injuries received at the hands of a mob. In their depositions the brothers state that they set out from Chicago in company with two other Mexicans in search of work. They were traveling in a local train. About a day and a half out of Chicago, the train stopped and the four Mexicans got down and entered the station restaurant. While eating they were set upon by a mob. The Resendix brothers escaped, but the other two were left behind and were not seen afterwards by them. Inquiry addressed to the railway developed the fact that the train on which they took passage was routed through Herrin, Ill., and the time of travel specified by them, was thought to be about that necessary for them to have reached that station.

Now, I shall do all in my power to make the world like that man. Who wes that Man? Have you admired Nis ways? ° JF every good and perfect gift comes from God ,we feel that God still rules in Oklahoma, and his People were given victory over the destructive forces and the devil in the guab of the Klans, The scentists tel us that it is the destructive forces in us that destroy us; if this is true, we see no hope for the white race with and organization within itself Vattling to take over the law and regulate this country to suit whim and wishes of people, love darkness rath- er than hight. God never intended that righteousness shou'd be repre- sented from darkness,—the shepherds saw the hght and heard the sweet singing and wise men saw the Star, but in this day of high noon In the Christian America, we see a force rising from the night saying; “give us the reign of the government, by force we shall rule: take away your New Testament teachings and your Christ, with his kind and loving na- ture, who said follow me.” Who went about doing good, who proved that he was different for our modern klans, because he went about doing good and the devil would cry even to get near God even though he was wrap- ped up In human, like the klans are wrapped up in there regalia, the only difference, the modern devil has two coverings, Poor Arkansas is on trial now to see who shall rule, it has been the scene of a nany disgraceful act and this will tell whether Christ is more powerful than the devil in that state.

When the cyclone is in the distance, the light breezes, steadily increasing, precede it. The leaeves rattle, loose bits of paper stir and fly up. Anon the trees begin to sway and crack—shingles and tin roofs loosen up and fly about—and with these littlt warnings and disturbances the storm finally breaks on our heads. There are signs of the approaching storm of a racial conflict in some northern communities. Colored people and white people who want to avoid this terror must begin "to look out" and check these casual signs. Southerners and southern sentiment are lignning to insult, and in some cases even to assault, colored people on the cars and in other public places. We know they are Southerners, because they so often say, without realizing he cowardice of the expression. "If you were down where I cum frum," or "Whare I live, niggers don't——or some similar expression to show that all they need to make them jump on a colored person, is to have the assurance that 500 other white people will help them to "lick" him. And they are so dull that they do not see the cowardice of the expression. "If selves. The civilized white people and black people of the North, who do not want savagery, brutality and blood, had better be getting their heads together to check these uncultured animals of both races and all colors, for there are naturally some colored people who are just as big fools as these fools from among the whites, and when two such opposing foo's by chance come together, there may be a spark which will light a great fire. The colored people, however, are naturally much more prudent in public than the raw element from the South, for circumstances are against the colored man. We have seen many cases of such conflict. In not one case out of ten was the colored person the aggressor. It can be said that as a rule colored people respect the public rights of white people in public places. Inter-recial Committees should be organized among white and black in the North as well as in the South. RECENT PRIMARY SHOWS NEGROES IN LEAD IN MO. RECENT PRIMARY SHOWS NEGROES IN LEAD IN MO. BY J. M. BATCHMAN. ST. LOUIS, MO. Aug. 18. The recent primary saw a Negro nominated for the highest elective office yet attained by one of the race in this state. When Attorney Crittenden Clark was nominated for Justice of the Peace, a place worth close to $5,000 annually to a successful candidate. Along with Clark in this fourth district was Joseph L. Schuler, white; he and Clark each received 1852 votes, defeating their two white opponents, August Gisler, who go to 1322, Harry W. McChestney 1365, and Ely H. Taylor, colored 687. As the district predominatingly colored and the city Repubican, his election is assuured. In the fourth Constabulary District, Charley Turpin, one of the incumbants, was defeated; Langston Hirison, colored, was nopinated with 1704 votes, also Robert E. Walker, white, with 1181; Turpin received 1142. while Floyd Bush, White, the other incumbent, got only 781 Walthall M. Moore, who bears the distinction of being the first Negro to serve in the Legisature, was renominated from the Third District, leading a field of 8 candidates with a vote of 8,948. Information on the standing of two colored candidates, Ira Dorsey for Constable, and Dr. C. M. Powell for Committeeman from the Sixth Ward was not available when this was written. WHAT FROM GARVEY NEXT? (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Aug. We gave Garvey the benefit of all doubts, and credit for honest intentions. We were deceived. But nothing can deceive always, and it is, perhaps, best always to think good and let evil prove itself. "Garvey has proven himself," said William Pickens in an interview today. According to Garvey the twelve or fifteen million colored people in America have no rights which any white criminal is bound to respect. This is a blacker statement than the "Dred Scott Decision" of sixty-five years ago. Garvey thinks the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, disfranchisement and all other disadvantages of color in the United States are right and just. He forgot to mention lynching, but he made up by attacking those who fought for the anti-lynching bill, and especially does he think that the Negro editors, who did such violent service for this bill, are "ignorant" and illiterate." He thinks that the only place where the Negro can be happy and free is Africa, where the American Negro as a whole group, will never go. He ought to offer them a home in Heaven. They have much better chance to go there. The Toot Of An Auto Horn Saved The Day. (By The Associated Negro Press.) NAIROBI, KENYA COLONY, EAST AFRICA, Aug. 18—The toot of an auto horn was sufficient, in Africa. to quiet stampede oxen and cause a trio of flesh-hunting lions to sink away into the bushes. Two native divers were conducting a wagon drawn by sexteen oxen through the wilds near Nakuru, the site of the new Uasin Gishu railroad, when the spans were attacked by three lions. The drivers fled to nearby trees. The oxen, panic- stricken, dashed down the rough road, dragging along the body of one of their number killed by the lions, which followed. This was the mad procession that greeted a lone, unarmed motorist at a curve of the road. Unconsciously, he put his hand to the horn button. At the uncanny shriek the ilons slunk away to the shelter of the bush, and the oxen swung clean of the dustcovered automobile and came to a stop at the side of the road. Survey Of S. E. Missouri (By The Associated Negro Press) JEFFERSON CITY, MO., Aug. 18 On a recent survey trip through the S. E. section of Missouri, Secretary Robert S. Cobb reports that conditions for the Negro are gradually growing better; in places where the Negro was but a few years ago mistreated and kept at work without full pay, conditions have changed materially. In a conference with a leading white citizen of that section, Cobb was told that whites and Negroes are beginning to have an understanding and that the leading whites won't stand for any more mistreatment of the Negro. S. E. Missouri offers a splendid opportunity for the colored laborer, Crystal City has one of the largest glass manufacturing plants in the world; St. Genevieve produces more time than any other city in the state; Cape Girardeau employs many colored people in Cement, Shoe, and Box manufacturing plants. From Cape Girardeau into Memphis many Colored people are employed in building the National Highway. Negroes in this section do not generally observe health laws; in small towns in colored section, hogs are kept in front yards and refuse is thrown into the streetets; this is a large factor contributing to the high T. B. death rate among Missouri Colored people. Schools are growing better; colored children, who formerly went to st. Louis for better school facilities, can receive a good high school education at Poplar Bluff and Cape Girardau. Strikes and general unrest do not seem to affect the Negro; weekly plonics and barbecues are in vogue and he seems to be happy and contented. The political strength of the colored people is being realized; recent'y most of the Negroes voted for the candidate who came out for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. This candidate for U. S. Senator won the nomination by 30,000 votes. (Bv The Associated Negro Press) DETROIT,'MICH., Aug. 18—Development of Mexico industrially and agriculturally to a point where it will take its place as one of the leading powers of the world is the plan of Henry Ford. This has been learned from sources close to the manufacturer. Mr. Ford, it was learned, proposes to end forever the internal strife in the southern republic by "putting people to work," as he expresses it, by making it possible for the peons to obtain educations, and by devious ways elevating the masses in the country to the highest possible standard. WANTS NO IDLE HANDS The motor manufacturer wants to keep the hands and minds of the Mexican common people occupied so "they will have no time for fighting." This, it became known, is the substance of Mr. Ford's theory, one that he hopes DANFORTH-SCOTT'S --The Redfern-- 120 N. MAIN STREET.

In short, it was said, he hopes to reveal to the people of Mexico how they can help themselves. The first step in the program may be taken soon with establishment of a Ford motor assembling plant in the state of Coahuila, probably in Saltillo. Business interests of that city and the governor of the state are known here to be eager to bring about the industrial development. Mr. Ford, it is known, would enter upon his development program immediately upon erection of the necessary factory buildings. Similar enterprises would be established by Mr. Ford in other parts of the country, if the plan is carried out, it was intimated. There has been talk that Mr. Ford is considering extending the same economic assistance to Haiti and Santo Domingo. These two republics are among the most resourceful in natural products in the Western Hemisphere, and with the guilding genius of a Henry Ford, would be the means of making thousands of black people economically independent, and other thousands wea.thy. Muscle Shoals developed, according to the proposals of Henry Ford, will give employment to thousands of Colored workmen in America, and the fertilizer would greatly he.p the vast army of southern farmers.

SNYDER'S THE SALVETY KIND. - THE - I t free your new BY CHARLES CAIN. (For Associated Negro Press) About ten years ago the great passars were filled as they are now with the loud meaning as speeches of politicians saying nothing in many words to make friends without making enemies, and with silly stories of strange but unimportant events. There were whispers then in Europe, whispers that had gone for many years but a newspaper were making too much noise to hear the whispers. Had they listened, they might have heard as a few of us did, war plans and peace terms; This invasion of Belgium, the Alliance of Italy with France and Britain, the collapse of Russia, the terms of the treaties. They did not disten. 1911 surprised them. The Treaty of Versailles surprised. They are still being surprised. There were only whispers ten years ago. Now there are mutterings, and sometimes cries. Still the papers do not hear. Some things they see—trouble in Russia, in India, in China; but they print more meaningless speeches by politicians, and many figures. Every day by figures they prove that something is impossible; just as a brilliant writer, Jean De Bloch, proved before the war, by figures, that the war was impossible. "Give the Public What It Wants." It won't pleasant news, flattery. The whispers and the cries from angry people are not pleasant. Maybe they are not important. It is not important to know a storm is coming; it is only important to know when a storm has come. That is the reasoning of the great press. I do not pretend to be a prophet; but it takes no prophet to see that the wars now raging in the Far East and the Near East are not ended, and that all Europe may be at war. Even the daily papers see those things. But the papers are still talking of nations and of markets and of treaties and debts; and those things, though certainly not important, are things more of yesterday than of tomorrow. Tomorrow's news is in the unheard mutterings and cries, and the mutterings and cries rise not only from Africa and Asia and Europe, but from the Western World. The white man's madness has caused these cries. We drown them with our news; we hear those from the East at times, and shake our heads over the wickedness of Europe; but while we pose and strut and shake our wise heads over Europe we are spreading our madness over the Caribbean Sea. Not so many years ago we forced our way into Japan, a strangely peaceable and happy country, and disturbed the Japanese with our soldiers and salesmen and missionaries t.l. we drove them to arms, made them take up war and commerce. Now they are as greedy and aggressive as we are; they have driven the Russians and the Germans from China and the South Pacific. Next? And China, land of poets and philosophers, has been obliged to learn the science of wholesale murder; her people are fighting a civil war, driving out unpopular masters. Next? Must we, for the sake of a dozen high-sounding Lies, force all men to hate us, in Asia, in Africa, in South America; force all races to fight us to the death? Our children will pay in blood, as this generation has paid. And it will make little difference whether the white man, here and torso, holds his place by force or loses it by force; if he holds it by force, he will go on with his brutality and his high words; if he loses by force, revengeful colored natives will make the earth their battle ground, go on with the old sickening game, shouting false cries of their own. Colored men tell me that all this has nothing to do with them. That may be so; but they, who do not hear the cries from other lands, cry out themselves at white men's injustice so they imagine their own cries are needed? "This is an American Problem. Americans will settle it." Hump I am no preacher, to tell the black man what he ought to do. But as a man white man knows something about his own people, I can tell these things that there are millions of whites who see, that something is wrong with their pretences, but who cannot hear themselves think because of the loud shouting of lies around them; that there are some whites who are trying to stop the endless madness of their race, but did their voices drowned in the lying chorus of the white press, and get no encouragement from most Colored men and as an American who has been shocked abroad by the staring horror of Englishmen and Frenchmen at their first detailed knowledge of American lynching, I can say that I believe the white man, here and in Europe, will change his ways only when the brown, yellow, red, and black papers of the world gather up the smothered cries of India and Hale. Rally Sunday, July 30, 1922. Sunday School opened at 9:30 as usual with Prof. W. E. Gray, Supt. Devotionals were led by Rev. Page. At 11 o'clock the choir of the First Baptist Church of Leavenworth, sang the opening hymn. This choir furnished the music for the morning service. Earlube reading and a prayer was offered. This was followed with an Anthem by the choir. At 11:20, Rev. W. H. Hill of Leavenworth, pastor of the First Baptist Church, delivered an able Sermon, which was enjoyed by all who heard it. After the announcements and offering, Rev. Hill, pastor oft First Baptist Church of Leavenworth, followed by his choir and their visitors, led the way to the beautifully decorated dining room of the church, where they enjoyed an elaborate dinner. At 3 o'clock, devotionals led by Dereon Ed Sloan, A. D. Lee and Geo. Kelly. At 3:20 singing by the choir. The music for the afternoon was turn'ahed by the Campbell Chapel A. M. E. Church. Scripture was read by Rev. Brown, pastor of Second Christian Church. Praer by Rev. Phil'ips of Zion Baptist Church. The afternoon sermon was delivered by Rev. C. R. Tucker, pastor of Chimpbell Chapel A, M. E. Church. This sermon was a master-piece and delivered in the spirit and those hearing it felt the presence of the spirit. After the sermon the doors of the church were opened. Then followed the offering which was taken with much enthusiasm and Christian rivalry between the visiting churches. Each church had a different table. The Campbell Chapel A. M. B. Church raised the largest amount for the afternoon. Devotionals for the evening service was led by Den, Zack Smith and Wm. Burnes. The song service for the evening was rendered by the Independent Baptist Church choir, Leavenworth. After the usual order of service, at 820 Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Independent Baptist Church, Leavenworth, delivered a very instructive sermon on 'Tithing' or 'God's Plan of Supporting Ills Church.' This was given with much and plenty pop. If followed, will do away with all rally schemes; a so the seeming pauper conditions of the church. The final appeal in behalf of the rally was given by Rev. W. C. Cartwright, pastor of Ebernezer, who introduced all the speakers for the day. After collection was taken, the report showed that we had actually raised $1613.57. We did not get our full blessing, but that was because we did not prevail with God enough. However we will realized to a fuller degree if we pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper, that love Thee. Peace will be within our walls and prosperity within our palaces. If we carnestly prevail with God in prayer we will move God and God will move us to all good things both of this world and of the world to come. Professor Kelley Miller, Dean of the Junior Law Department of Howard University, Washington D.

Prof Miller came to us under auspices of the Trustees and Steward of Campbell Chapel A. M. E. Church, Rev. C. R. Tucker, pastor, introduced the speaker.

CHURCH LIFE IN OUR CHURCH. Sunday morning, after song service our able pastor in his usual way, brought us a message from the Scriptures, Phil. 4:13-14. Our pastor spoke in general on the Press of the Christian Life. He emphasized the active, aggressive nature of the Christian that nothing in life worth its possession, is to be had without pressing to gain it. In a race the costestors press to vein in fighting the competitor must press less he be over came. The Christian must live in the present and live an active life. Sunlay night the attendance was very full. Many visitors were present. Song service was delightful consisting very large y of Spirituals. Our pastor delivered a message which is so popular, of such immediate interest to all—"Dancing." He spoke from Psalm 30. Definition of dancing was given keeping for joy, twisting and turning. A very sharp contrast was made between the dance of the day and dance of antiquity. Some features of the dance of antiquity:—were given in the day; not flavored with intoxication, dances of antiquity were not nude, was a mode of religious worship. Sexes did not dance to gether. Some features of the present day dance:—At night, after accompanied with drink, now a carnal pleasure. Some daunting challenges were give those who dance by the pastor but none were accepted. The pastor asked that those sinners, who danced and believed it all right for the Christians to dance with them to note their approval by standing—not one arose. This gives the church member, who dances a hint to stay away from a place he is not wanted. Those who thought it all right for the preachers, their wives, the Board, to have a dance and nobody, but person of same rank invited to attend, not one stood to note his approved. Those who would attend dances where there was only the one sex, not one approved of it. The pastor refuted al. arguments in the favor of dancing. He described the situation accurately. Nor did he Miss that one agent which links up so well in the situation—the modern vehicle. He described them as being, in many instances "red light district or wheels," ball room as the devils "kinder garden." The Sunday School was an enjoyable service. The little fellows enjoyed so much the review given by our Supt. A goodly number of Christians were present. The B. Y. P. U. was enjoyed by all in attendance. A very interesting lesson was had.
