THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a C WHITE Prominent Southerner Brings Suit for $100,000 Heart Balm Against Bax- ter McCary, Wealthy Negro, Whom He Alleges Has Alienated His Wife's Affection. STARTLING SUIT The Varners Are Socially Prominent Ambing Southern Aristocrats—McCary Is Highly Respected in Community Where He Has Large Property Holdings—Believed Conspiracy to Mulet Him Back of Proceedings. (Special to The Monitor.) LEXINGTON, N. C., Aug. 16.—A great sensation has been caused here by the filing last week of an unusual suit against Baxter McCary, wealthy Negro and prominent Mason, business man and educator, by H. B. Varner, white, editor of the Lexington Dispatch and head of the North Carolina prison board, for $100,000 damages on the complaint that McCary had "Fuined his domestic life" and alienated his wife's affection. At the same time Varner filed suit for absolute divorce from his wife for her alleged part in the affair. The social prominence of the Varners, who stand high among the exclusive aristocracy of the South, has added to the sensational features of the case. McCary is equally prominent among his own people and stands high in the esteem of the general community, being accounted one of its wealthiest and most substantial citizens. McCary is a man about 60 years old, well educated and of pleasing personality. He is prominent in Masonic and Methodist circles and has for years been a member of the board of trustees of Bennett College of Greensboro, N. C., a school conducted by the Methodist Episcopal church. He lives in Lexington's most exclusive residential section, his residence alone being worth $50,000. Located in a large, well kept park of several acres, it is one of the show places of the city. Besides this, he is reputed to own about one-sixth of all the business section of this place. He owns about one-third of the large brick office buildings of this city, many of which are occupied by white business firms. Most of his wealth came to him by inheritance, he having been born of wealthy parentage. It is supposed that court action in McCary's case has for its basis a well-devised plan to extract from him much of his coveted wealth, else the whites of this section would have followed the usual method of handling such alleged cases. Lexington is a prosperous town of about 12,000 inhabitants, situated on the main line of the Southern Railway system between New York and all points south and is midway between Greensboro and Salisbury and 21 miles south of Winston-Salem. It is famous as a cotton and tobacco center, many of the largest cotton mills in the south being located here. SMITH RECEIVES SPLENDID VOTE Editor of Cleveland Gazette, Candidate for Secretary of State, Loyally Supported by Race—Polls Over (By Associated Negro Press.) Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 19. The primary election fight in Ohio has been a center of interest, because of the fight being waged by Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, for secretary of state. Smith had been forced off the ticket by the present secretary of state, Harvey S. Smith, because of an alleged similarity in name. He carried the case to the state supreme court and won the right to place his name on the ballot. Smith received a total vote of between 50,000 and 60,000 and lost the race by only a narrow margin. Our group gave splendid support. Mayor Harry B. Davis of Cleveland was nominated for governor, and ex-Governor Frank B. Willis for senator. These results are very satisfactory. OHIO HAS FIVE NOMINEES FOR WHITE HOUSE JOBS Cleveland, O., Aug. 19.-Ohio, "the mother of presidents," now has five nominees on five tickets in the presidential and vice presidential derby.

Frederick, Md., Aug. 19.—Lou Warfield, white, was sentenced to one year in the House of Correction for committing an assault on Mr. Frank Sewell, whose home is in New Market. The testimony in court showed that the Warfield woman came to the colored man's house about 3:30 or 4 o'clock Wednesday morning and asked him to help her pull her automobile out of the mud. He refused to come down stairs at first but finally went down after she called him a second time. Lou, it is said, asked him to marry her and made other unusual proposals. Mr. Sewell ordered her off his place and finally pushed her away. It was then that the vamp, using a penknife cut him on the arm. Mr. Sewell is a respected citizen with a wife and family here. N. W.

C., Aug. 19.—An epoch making period in the lives of the colored citizens of this city was reached last Saturday morning, when the Fraternal Banking & Trust company threw open its doors to the public at 9 a. m. and closed at 3 p. m. with a day's deposit of $82,000. This is the first and only colored banking and trust company in the state, and the rush of business for the first day was gratifying beyond all hopes. The bank building itself is one of the most modern and up-to-date business houses in the city, possessing all the equipment necessary for a first class company. Prof. W. G. Pearson, president of the bank, fully realizing the impression to be gained by first appearances, built the bank to meet the demands of the public. Mr. T. D. Parham, former cashier of the Crown Savings Bank of Newport News, Va., took up his new position as cashier of the company, and his vast experience proved of inestimable value throughout the busy day. Mr. James Bailey, Jr., is teller. Mr. T. W. Newhie, director of the Mutual Savings & Trust company of Portsmouth, Va., and Mr. P. B. Young, president of the Tidewater Banking & Trust company of Norfolk, Va., were in the city Saturday to witness the opening. The bank itself is located at 702 Fayetteville street in the very heart of the colored district, and has an authorized capital of $125,000. "BLACK HOPE" GREATEST FRENCH RUNNER Paris, France.—French trainers at the Joinville school for soldier athletes, claim to have discovered one of the greatest runners of all times in the person of one Abbaahine, a sergeant in an Algerian colored company. This Arab, who three months ago knew absolutely nothing about running, has been turning in 51 seconds for the 400 meters quite regularly. The "black hope," as the French call him, running alone and unpaced, negotiated the 800 meters in 1:54 flat. He is entered at Antwerp in the 400 and 800 meter races.

Brooks was arrested at Ormond, Fla., Sunday and was reported to have been killed in a leap from a train taking him to Jacksonville for safe keeping, but the other Negroes, said to believe he died at the hands of a mob, made a demonstration and threatened to obtain vengeance when his body was returned to Miami. Troops have been patrolling the Negro residence section. It is noticeable how quickly troops can be summoned when "Negro disorder" threatens; but white mobs are given ample time to act. LIBERIA PROSPEROUS; BECOMING EXPORTER New York, Aug. 19.—Liberia, Negro Republic on the West Coast of Africa, is rapidly becoming a prosperous and important exporting country, as the result of American financial aid in road building and general development, according to Joseph L. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio, United States minister and consul general to the African republic, who arrived here aboard the steamship Isle de Panay. "When the present improvements in the republic are completed," Mr. Johnson said, "Liberia will be one of the most productive spots on the face of the earth." LEAVING SOUTH BY THOUSANDS (By Associated Negro Press.)

Clair preached to a large congregation in Grove Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday morning and addressed a meeting in the afternoon in the same church. He preached at 8 o'clock in Union Methodist church on the South Side to a large congregation. The bishop is an eloquent speaker and his sermons were full of sound instruction and practical suggestions in Christian living. He made a good impression upon all who had the pleasure to hear him. He returns to Washington, D. C., shortly, where he will remain for a few months before sailing for Monrovia, Liberia, to which district he has been assigned. Sunday afternoon Mr. W. H. Higgins of Chicago also spoke at the mass meeting at Grove M. E. church in the interest of a branch of the Y. M. C. A. for colored men. Addresses were made by Miss Frankie B. Watkins, M. F.

McDonald, Sr., of Omaha, On Staff of Butcher Workmen Advocate, Delegate to International Convention, Declines to Be Considered Elther Baggage or Freight. OBNOXIOUS ORDER IS PROMPTLY OVERRULED All Delegates Are Accorded Same Privileges, Not Only On Convention Floor, But At Social Functions—Race Men On Important Committees—One Labor Organization Which Apparently Stands for Democracy. (Special to the Monitor.) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 19.—Jno. T. McDonald, Sr., of Omaha, Neb., who is stenographer-bookkeeper and circulation manager for the Butcher Workmen Advocate, and by the way a notary public also, dropped into our office the other day and gave us an inkling of the organization which he is identified with. Mr. McDonald is the stenographer-bookkeeper and circulation manager of the official paper of his district, whose membership he states comprises JNO. T. McDONALD, Sr., approximately 10,000 members, most of whom are white. He also states that this organization plays absolutely square to all of its members, granting special favors to none, but according to everyone what he or she is able to merit regardless of color. He states that he had quite a singular experience while at The Planters hotel, headquarters for the international convention, that is being held here for this and next week, when a bell boy invited him to take the freight elevator. Mr. McD Donald being of quiet, unassuming disposition, told the bellboy in a quiet way but very firm manner the principles of his organization and also told him that if the elevator was not good enough for him to go up in, it was not good enough for the rest of the delegation to go up in either, and he would advise the membership to that effect. Then the "bellhop" decided to revise his directions, which must have come from "higher up." The foregoing article from the Independent Clarion, states in part some of the recent happenings in our city that will mean much or little, as the colored people here follow up the precedent set. River boat excursions, stag parties and dances, where all the membership of the organization, representing 29 nationalities, were some of the features of entertainment. tI was a problem, at first, to get colored St. Louis to fully realize that at last one labor organization was square and played no favorites, but after it was found out that it was not a scheme to hoodwink the people of color, but a real exhibition of the democracy that we have heard so much about but seldom if ever meet, those who had held themselves, in restraint exclaimed that at last, "the dawn of democracy must be here." Comprising, as it did, representatives from every section of the United States, Canada and as far south as Cristobal, Canal Zone, Panama, it is not to be wondered that those who know real freedom and democracy would not condone the petty actions of the prejudiced color-blinded south—especially so when it is stated that the underlying principle of the organization stands for no discrimination (Continued on Page Four.)

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRUSS FIRST IN SERVICE THE PEOPLE PAY THE BILLS RATE increases granted the rail- roads by the interstate commerce commission are designed to give carriers an annual net operating income of $1,134,000,000, or $241,000,000 more than the standard return allowed by the government. This is $34,000,000 more than the roads made in the record year of 1916, but is $99,000,000 less than the $1,233,000,000 net operating income they sought. This enormous sum was granted to the railroads supposedly to absorb the wage increase of $600,000,000 recently given their employees. Let us see what this means when applied to our every day living. For example: the present fare from Omaha to Philadelphia is $42.74. Pullman $8.76. $51.50 When the new scale goes into effect the ticket will be $51.29 and Pullman $16.14. Or where one paid $51.50 for the trip he must pay $64.43, an increase on this trip of $12.93. In addition to this freight rates advanced 33 per cent which means an addition to the price of the things that must be freighted. This is certainly to make the already high cost of living soar higher and the public must pay the bills. This is the way it will come to us: About $15 per capita will be added to our bills. The public will pay the bills. If we reason by the same process that the railroads do and apply that reason to the manufacturers, wholesalers and jobbers in which cases we may expect them to make a 98 per cent profit over and above the cost we may well set ourselves to pay at least 75 per cent more when it gets to us. In the case of the railroad fare to Philadelphia the roads clear $32.22 out of a total of $64.43. Can we count on the merchants being more charitable than the railroads? All of these increases will appear in our weekly table bills and we shall have them to pay. This paper has always stood strongly for reasonable wages and good working conditions for the working man. It believes there is some justification in the present demand for higher wages. We are also in favor of a fair revenue readjustment by the roads to absorb a reasonable wage increase; but we cannot see the slightest reason for the roads of the country taxing the public $1,134,000,000 in order to absorb a wage increase of only $600,000,000. In other words we do not see the excuse for the excess revenue of $534,000,000 in this instance. The consumer will have to pay the bills in any event. He will have to pay it if the present rates were continued and large deficits continued to mount up which the government would be obliged to repay and to raise the money required by taxation. He would have to pay it in larger measure if the government owned and operated the roads if the inefficiency which characterized the bureaucratic rule of the last few years. So in any event the public must pay the bills. There is no call for pyramiding in the matter as seems to be the intention of the roads. "LITTLE NARROW MEN." WE note with interest and mingled humor, Mr. Roosevelt, the democratic vice president nominee's characterization of those senators whose "minds did not go along with" Mr. Wilson's on the league of nations issue. We say with humor, because of its nearness to the style of the president in characterizing those whose minds do not go along with his own in any matter. It seems as if the two democratic candidates have copied and divided between themselves all of the pet phrases of their chief and have made them their weapon on attack against the republicans. But both ought to refresh themselves on the disastrous result of their chief's method in the use of these words. The president characterized the senators as a "little willful group." Cox calls them "iniquitous," "despicable," "brazen," all of which are splendid examples of their chief. 2 Mr. Roosevelt may be excused on the ground that he is still but a notice at big campaigning, and that he is still a member of the Wilson cabinet, walking in the shadow of the Lansing episode, but we find no grounds whatever on which to excuse Mr. Cox. The election is still three months away, which will be time enough for all such mud slinging to have been exhausted and when this is done the people will decide. We harbor no animosity against either candidate as men, and we trust that they will soon see the bad judgment in the use of such tactics. We hope to see the campaign fought out on principles and clear cut issues and not persons and personalities. We hope the democratic nominees will see that they cannot win on invectives. They ought to see that in every breath they condemn senators for using their own minds instead of being a mouthpiece of the president, they are fast establishing the belief in the public's mind that to vote a democratic ticket means to vote for the establishment in Washington of an autocratic regime such as we have had for the past eight years. If we are to take the candidates at their word, they believe in a muzzled congress. They brand a large and representative body of men as oligarchs because they did not submit to the dictates of an autocrat. We do not believe that one could find hardly 1,000 people in the country who would like to see another term of the Wilson type of the presidency, and it is very safe to assume now that a Cox election means a repetition of that remarkable regime. CONGRATULATIONS, SMITH THE Monitor extends congratulations not only to Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, for the magnificent vote he received in the recent primaries for secretary of state, but to our race in Ohio for the loyal support given him. In the first place, it is, noteworthy that a man of our race had the courage to become a candidate for the second highest office in the gift of the state. Hitherto we have been content to become suppliers for some appointive job, such as janitor or doorkeeper, or in the case of elective office, to file for some minor office, which in our modesty we believed no one would have very serious objection to our securing. This year noticed a radical change. Everywhere members of our race decided to file for positions hitherto unthought of. Smith filed for secretary of state in Ohio. He received over 50,000 votes and lost the election only by a small margin, which in itself was a great victory. It demonstrates what can be done. It points the way for the future. A united vote by our people in almost any community where we are found in large numbers can and will eventually elect our own candidates to almost any position for which they may be competent and to which they may aspire. It is about time we stopped begging for appointive jobs, which we seldom get, and begin electing men to the offices we desire them to have. It can be done.

THE MONITOR GLIMPSES OF PORTO RICO Some Interesting Facts. About the Country and People. (By Grace Morris Hutten.) San Juan, the largest city, has a population of 120,000. It is built on the slope of a small hill. The narrow streets, which run parallel to each other and cross at right angles, are perfectly straight, and run down to the bay, where the steamers dock. It was formerly enclosed by strong fortifications and walls on all sides, which rendered the place impregnable, but in 1897 the entire eastern and southern sections of the wall were torn down. Portions of the demolished eastern wall are still in evidence, extending from San Cristobal in the rear of the new Casino of Porto Rico. In 1533, the "Fortaleza," now the governor's palace, was built. It was the first fortification on San Juan. The palace is impressive and massive has a patio, beautiful gardens and great vaults that formerly served as a hiding place for treasure en route from the new world to Spain. Casa Blanca, or the White House, was built in 1523 for Louis Ponce de Leon, son of Juan Ponce de Leon. It is the oldest building here and is a splendid type of old Spanish architecture. It extends along the water front, rising above the ancient city wall, which is 30 feet thick.
