SCOTT WAS ONLY HANDY MAN TO SECRETARY OF WAR (By Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4.—A denial that the War Department had a Negro as assistant secretary of war during the recent war comes as an interesting sidelight. The matter is made plain in a copy of a letter from Secretary Baker to Representative Dent of Alabama, a member of the House military affairs committee, received here, which says: "During the war the War Department dealt with many hundreds of thousands of draftees and other soldiers of the colored race. We were constantly having delegations and representations of colored people at the War Department upon matters connected with war work, and the interests of men and women of the colored race as affected by the war. In order to have an intelligent comprehension and sympathetic treatment of these problems, I asked Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee, to be special assistant to the Secretary of War to deal with such matters. Scott, of course, was not an assistant secretary of war but a special assistant to the Secretary of war for the special purpose which I have indicated. His assistance was of the greatest value to the government and to the people of the colored race. "Scott was stationed in Washington throughout the war and did not visit France at any time and was not stationed at any camp of the cantonment. Dr. Moton, president of Tuskegee, did, however, visit France at my request and lectured and talked to colored soldiers of the A. E. F." You never realize how many men there are out of work until you start to do some outdoor job that is a little difficult of performance. TUCSON Sunday services at the A. M. E. church and at Mt. Calvary Baptist church were well attended Sunday, August 1st. This being the first Sunday in the month, everybody was heard speaking a word for Christ and the spirit ran high. Sunday afternoon a group of young people motored to the mission which stands as a monument out in the valley erected over one hundred years ago. In the party were Sir E. J. Richardson, supreme organizer of the G. U. O. of K. of S., Mr. and Mrs. J. Noble, Mr. John Noble, Mrs. Lourant and Master Plunk Noble. The club of the Grand United Order of Knights of Shepherd of the United States of America and the World, was organized at Mt. Calvary Baptist church on the 27th of July by Sir E. J. Richardson, state grand deputy of California and supreme organizer. The following were elected officers: Mr. J. Nobles, president; Mrs. M. E. Click, vice president; Mrs. Frances Stoges, secretary; Mrs. Pearl Lourant, treasurer; Mrs. Mousuri Nobles, advocate. BEST CARD OF SEASON FRIDAY'S WRESTLING: SAUER VS. GRANT Phoenix fans will see one of the best wrestling bouts of the season Friday night, August 6, when Pete Sauer and Tom Grant meet in a finish match at Tally's arena, Eighth and Washington streets. The men are so evenly matched that it is a toss-up as to which of them will win in a finish match. At their last meeting a few weeks ago both men became exhausted and neither could secure a fall. They have been training faithfully for the bout Friday night and fans are promised a run for their money. ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER SENATOR HARDING HAS FOUND FAVOR WITH COLORED VOTERS SENATOR HARDING HAS FOUND FAVOR WITH COLORED VOTERS Chicago, Aug. 4. "Where do we come in?" In his speech of acceptance in Marion, Ohio, Senator Warren G. Harding, the Republican candidate for president, answers the question for the party and himself: "I BELIEVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAMP OUT LYNCHING AND REMOVE THE STAIN FROM THE FAIR NAME OF AMERICA." And this: "I BELIEVE THE NEGRO CITIZENS OF AMERICA SHOULD BE GUARANTEED THE ENJOYMENT OF ALL THEIR RIGHTS, THAT THEY HAVE EARNED THE FULL MEASURE OF CITIZENSHIP BESTOWED, THAT THEIR SACRIFICES OF BLOOD ON THE BATTLEFIELDS OF THE REPUBLIC HAVE ENTITLED THEM TO ALL OF FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY, ALL OF SYMPATHY AND AID THAT THE AMERICAN SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE DEMANDS." There it is. How do you like it? These two paragraphs, necessarily brief, but containing more in words by far than many other subjects dealt with in the address regarded as national in importance, adequately and completely cover the righteous demands of the American Negroes, according to universal sentiment expressed in letters, telegrams and by interview to the Associated Negro Press. It is the first time in many years that a president, or nominee for president, has declared himself for "equal and exact justice for all Americans," in language that cannot possibly be misunderstood. CHICAGO DEFENDER EDITORIAL STAFF EXPERIENCES CHANGE (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 4.—There has been a considerable shakeup in the editorial staff of the Chicago Defender. Cary B. Lewis, managing editor for some time, has resigned, and has been succeeded by Lucius C. Harper, who has been city editor. Frank Albert Young, formerly managing editor, returns as Mr. Harper's associate. A.N. Fields, who has been political editor, has joined the staff of the Chicago Whip. Leslie Rodgers, the cartoonist, will also be active in the editorial department. The Defender has raised its rates to ten cents a copy on account of the shortage of news-print paper. Mr. Lewis, who is one of the best known newspaper men in the country, states that he will devote practically all of his time to the management of the Idlewild hotel. By Chester Maryland Archie Lewis and family left last Friday for Los Angeles, Cal., where they will make their permanent home. The people of Ray hate to part with a fine young man like Mr. Lewis as he was one of the leading men of the town. However, we wish him success in his new home. W. P. Crump made a flying trip to Phoenix last week. Rev. W. J. Conquest spent a few days in Phoenix last week visiting his family. Miss Dorothy Crump and brother, Thomas, left last week for Phoenix in their father's truck. They made the trip safely. Mrs. Ruben Reed was taken suddenly ill last Thursday but is now out of danger and improving. Mose Davis and wife had as their dinner guest last Sunday, Mr. W. P. Crump. The Twilight league played an interesting game Sunday afternoon. The Crude Oilers won over the Sand Sifters, 3 to 4. The Oilers oiled the sand this time. It was some game, believe me. When a girl plays a ragtime so that it sounds like a funeral march, it may be truthfully said that she is murdering the music. 0 The man who is so constituted that you would be willing to do most any kind of a favor for him is the one who seems to need help the least. JACK JOHNSON NOW SEEKS TO JUSTIFY HIS BASE ACTIONS JACK JOHNSON NOW SEEKS TO JUSTIFY HIS BASE ACTIONS (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 4.—Jack Johnson is again on Chicago soil, and is expected to have a new hearing on his case, which has been pending since he fled abroad seven years ago. The former heavyweight champion has many friends in Chicago, and scores of them have offered their services in any possible way to see that he gets an opportunity to properly put his case before the federal courts. In a statement for the Associated Negro Press, Johnson said: "It is my desire to make my case clear before the people, so that they will not be laboring under the impression that all the bad things said about me are true. "I have made many mistakes and am sorry. Had I known that all of this trouble would have been brought upon me by defeating Jim Jeffries at Reno, I would have laid down in Reno, just as I did to Willard in Havana. "During the war I called upon the American embassy in Madrid, asking the officials there if I could enlist. It was impossible." Finds a Submarine Base "A few months later, Major Lang, an attache of the United States army in Madrid, asked me if I would do certain secret service work for the government along the coast of Spain. Working under a Captain Fawcett, near Malaga, on the Mediterranean, I found many important things, among them a submarine base, and where and how German submarines obtained their oil and gas. During all this time I paid one-half of my own expenses. "I will immediately get in touch with Major Lang, who, I believe, is now in the United States. I feel that he will help me. "I was convicted of violation of the Mann act. The case against me was sending Belle Schreiber, upon her own solicitation, $500 with which to come from Pittsburgh to Chicago in August, 1910. She told me her sister was very sick and that she wanted a flat for her and her mother. She arranged for the care of them and for the furnishing of the flat, which totaled $3,500, and which I paid, and in addition gave Miss Schreiber a $500 present. "Previous to this time and before I married my first wife—Etta Duryea Johnson—I had for two years lived with Belle Schreiber as my common-law wife. "Just as soon as my case is cleared up and I am free, I'm going to try and get some fights. I can lick any man in the world today. I'm 42 years old and can do stunts now that I could not do at 22." REAL CHRIST LIKE SPIRIT IS MANIFESTED BY RALPH W. TYLER (By Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 4.—When Ralph W. Taylor, former auditor of the navy under Roosevelt and Taft, was asked if he would support Harry C. Smith for Secretary of State, in view of the fact that Smith for years had fought him bitterly, replied: "I have never opposed a colored man standing as a candidate for election by the people, and never will, and just to keep my record clear will support and vote for Smith. It concerns me little what his course towards me has been in the past, his candidacy is now a matter of race, not individual importance, and I do not propose to permit merely personal matters to outweigh with me the bigger thing—that of serving the race. Smith's attacks upon me, as on many other men, have been without cause. They have done me no harm. It is sometimes well to return good for evil. Yes, I will support Smith in his candidacy, and heartily so." OVER 10,000 BLACKS LEAVE MISSISSIPPI INSIDE 'OF 3 MONTHS (By Associated Negro Press) Vicksburg, Miss., Aug. 4.—Investigations carried on by local authorities indicate that more than 10,000 Negroes from this section of the state have left for various sections of the North in the last three months. The majority of them are determined to remain. IGNORANCE LARGEST LIABILITY OF NATION, SAYS NOTED EDUCATOR (By Associated Negro Press) Macon, Ga., Aug. 4.—Prof. G. R. Hutto, of Bainbridge, in addressing the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias in session in this city, declared that ignorance was the largest liability of the American people, and called upon every Knight of Pythias in Georgia to do his part in helping to wipe it out. In addressing 2,000 Knights and members of the Court of Calanthe in joint session, he said: "I believe that the time is now that Georgia is going to furnish better schools and better teachers for our people, and we are going to show our appreciation by keeping our children in them. It is cheaper to build good schools and employ good teachers, than to build jails and employ police officers. Let Georgia take the front rank in wiping out ignorance and illiteracy." NO DEMONSTRATION FOR JACK JOHNSON UNTIL HIS RELEASE NO DEMONSTRATION FOR JACK JOHNSON UNTIL HIS RELEASE (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 4.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, is still having his troubles. The vision of early freedom which he brought with him from Mexico has been revised, and he continues to be "within the law."—in other words, jail. His real journey to Chicago was abruptly stopped within "stone's throw" of the big city, and his party disembarked at Joliet. His wife came on to Chicago. Through a series of technicalities, his attorney, S. A. T. Watins, has been unable to procure bail. Because, it is claimed, he was getting too much royal consideration from the sheriff in Peoria—who must be a regular fellow—giving Jack automobile rides, nut sundaes, and other luxuries and delicacies enjoyed only in the best hotels, district attorney Cline, of the federal court has ordered him detained in the hostelry of another county, with instructions that "Jack Johnson be treated the same as any other prisoner." Jack still has his "golden smile," and may have some "deep stuff" information in the back of his head, but his feet are itching to be on State street, and judging from the strong that attempted to get a look at him when his train arrived from the coast, he has many well wishers. A number of leading citizens have advised that no demonstration be made in Johnson's behalf until after he has had his day in court. MESA By Alphonso Robinson All aboard for Mesa, the Gem City of the Salt river valley, where the Paradise Baptist state convention will hold its first annual meeting with the Mt.

BLACKS ARE QUIETLY LEAVING ARKANSAS (By Associated Negro Press) Helena, Ark., Aug. 4.—Ever since the Arkansas massacre, colored people have been, quietly leaving Elaine and other sections of Arkansas, going to Chicago, Michigan, Ohio and other points in the North and East. Whites who are greatly in need of labor are assuring the people that they will be protected if they remain, but the feeling of unrest cannot be quieted. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD SATURDAY BY REPUBLICANS OF MARICOPA COUNTY Last Saturday afternoon the Republicans of Maricopa county held an enthusiastic meeting at the K. of P. hall. The meeting was called for the purpose of filling any vacancies that remained on the Republican county ticket and to hear suggestions from the different workers as to the best method of procedure. The chairman called on Mr. W. A. Work, one of the wheel-horses in the Republican ranks, and he made a few timely remarks. He stated in the course of his remarks that he was surprised to see so many people at the meeting and that he didn't know there were so many Republicans in Maricopa county. Some sound advice was given by this gentleman and, if followed closely, will spell-victory for the Republican ticket in this county. Hon. E. S. Clark, of Prescott, candidate for U. S. Senator for Arizona, was introduced and delivered a short address in which he praised the G. O. P. for past achievements and predicted an entire Republican victory in the coming campaign. Prof. L. S. Pratt, candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was next introduced and made a brief talk in support of his candidacy and in the interest of the Republican party. Judge Gilchrist, when called upon to address the meeting, stated that he preferred getting down to business and that enough "hot air" already had been let out. Hugh Daggs, E. J. Herrington and other prominent members of the party made a few remarks. The chairman called on the colored gentlemen for a few remarks, and Rev. T. J. Sanford, pastor of the A. M. E. church, mounted the speaker's platform and delivered an address that brought down the house. He was cheered to the echo and many times during his speech was interrupted with applause. Rev. Sanford stated that the colored people had received more favors from the Republican party than from any other, and it was to that party they have again pinned their hope. He remarked that his people were willing to forgive the mistakes of the party, if there have been any mistakes, and would work for the election of the Republican ticket from the president down. Remarks were also made by Frank Smith. Mr. Smith said he was a better worker than a talker. A spirit of friendliness and confidence was manifested at the meeting Saturday, perfect harmony prevailing throughout the afternoon. If the Republicans succeed in lining up their forces properly and work together as peacefully as they did on the occasion of this meeting, success will be their reward. FORT HUACHUCA (By Miss Mabel Smith) Color Sgt. and Mrs. Sam Smith have gone on a month's vacation to visit friends and relatives in their home in Kentucky.

Mr. Hamilton Payne, formerly employed in the quartermaster's department, is expecting to leave for the coast in the very near future. Last Friday evening the ladies of the Ladies' Christian circle held a bazaar in the enlisted men's hall. The hall was very artistically decorated with flags. After a splendid program rendered by talented ladies and gentlemen of the garrison, the audience spent their change at the booths, penny postoffice, fortune teller's, and refreshing themselves with ice cream and cake. The bazaar was a complete success and the ladies of the circle wish to thank all who helped make it so. Little Miss Ruth Dade entertained several little friends at a birthday party last week. Mrs. W.

While it is true that no official announcement has been made by President E. P. Jones, who resides in Evanston, Illinois, or by Rev. C. P. Madison, the secretary, who resides at Norfolk, Virginia, everyone will conceive the possibility that these two distinguished American citizens may be seen here. Many things argue to carry out this belief. One of the biggest arguments in favor of the statement is the fact that the Democratic nominee is the governor of the state, and that this convention, meeting at the state capital, it is always customary to invite the governor to welcome the delegates, and since Ohio has always been very broad and liberal in extending an invitation and welcoming the visitors to the state, there is no likelihood that this custom will be changed. The other is that Mr. Harding is the senator from the state and is recognized as one of the leading Baptists in Ohio, and as such in all probability will receive an invitation to address the largest body of Baptist workers that ever assembled annually. At any rate, the eyes of the United States will be focused upon this city, and especially will every utterance or word dropped by the two nominees, if they come, be weighed heavily. Since this is designated as the victory session of the convention, more importance is being attached to it. $20,180.97 DEPOSITS IN COLORED BANK ON OPENING DAY $20,180.97 DEPOSITS IN COLORED BANK ON OPENING DAY (By Associated Negro Press) Bennettville, S.

Jack Johnson, erstwhile pugilist and all-around sport, after seven years' exile has surrendered to government officers and is now in jail at Joliet. He was sentenced to serve one year in the federal prison at Leavenworth for violation of the Mann Act. in a statement to the Associated Negro Press, he attempts to justify his acts and honestly believes the public should sympathize with him. We have nothing against Johnson personally, but we think he should be permitted to reap what he has sown. In his palmy days, directly after he had whipped Jim Jefferies and amassed a small fortune, he sought the society of Caucasians in preference to that of his own people. He had money to burn and could buy is friends, so he chose white friends of that character and was what the sporting element delights to call a "high roller." Heowed the wind and now that he is called upon to reap the whirlwind, he demurs and complains of injustice, persecution and that not. We have absolutely no sympathy for a Negro who because he controls considerable finances, tries to get away from his race, and afterwards is called upon to suffer the calumny of his actions. Had Jack Johnson spent that $4,000 on a woman of his own race he would not have been called into question for his action. No, he was the CHAMPION and as such felt that he was so good for any woman of his race. If you make your bedard, you will have to turn over more often. All intelligent and right thinking members of the race have nothing but contempt or Jack Johnson and his ilk. We don't think he should be persecuted, but we do believe he should be made to "take his medicine." Away with him. During the recent world war, Colored people throughout the United States were rejoicing because they had, as they thought, been signally honored by the appointment of one of their group to the position of assistant Secretary of War. Now comes the news like a bolt from a clear sky, informing us that we have ever had a Negro assistant secretary of war, but that he acted merely as an assistant to the Secretary of War. A sort of goetween, if you will, to keep the real secretary from being bothred with receiving delegations from our group. We are thankful to Representative Dent of Alabama for drawing this statement from Secretary Baker, otherwise we would have gone to our raves wrapped up in the belief that the Democratic party had elevated a Negro to the position of assistant Secretary of War. It is all clear now, and we regret exceedingly that we must erase the name of Emmett J. Scott from that illustrious list of assistant secretaries of war and write instead, "Assistant To" the secretary of War." Tell me what you read and I'll tell you what you are, is an assertion that holds just as good today as it did years ago when it was first uttered. We have been trying to train our subscribers to read what is best in a newspaper, still many will not heed our advice. There are so many "surface readers" among our group till it is next to impossible to put over a strong article and save it read. Good journalists always place their best in the editorial column. The editor of a Colored newspaper has a job in his hands, for his readers judge him and his ability as a journalist by the style, manner and amount of local news he writes. Unless his editorials are printed in ten-point type, they are selom read. You cannot judge an editor by the amount of local news he is able to gather, but you can read his character through its editorials. Not only that, but you get the "cream" of the news that is in a newspaper from its editorials. Read the editorials, they will help you in many ways. It is true the physician sometimes makes a slip, and cures the lawyer, even to his own undoing. I remember an instance of a physician who presented his bill for professional services to a lawyer who had recently recovered from a serious illness. The lawyer pleaded inability to pay, claiming to have used all his money in meeting an insurance assessment. "Are you insured?" asked the physician with a startled air. "Yes," said the lawyer, and in case of my death, the proceeds of the insurance are to be first applied to paying the expense of my last illness."

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING PRESCOTT (By Dora Rose) Little Miss Marion Jordan was a visitor in the city last week. Rev. Boatner of the People's A. M. E. Zion church was given a storm party by members and friends last Tuesday evening. Mr. Eska Golden, a patient at Ft. Whipple barracks, was quite ill this week, but at this writing his condition is improved. Does it ever rain in Prescott? We will say it does. For the last week it has rained every day. Oh, well, we like the rain, anyway, and gladly welcome it. Our gardens were badly in need of it. To all the fair damsels who are seeking popularity we offer this suggestion: Buy a carload of umbrellas, and, when it rains, you will have to employ a maid to announce the callers. The new pastor of the People's A. M. E. Zion church is on the ground marshalling his forces. Rev. D. W. Boatner, A. M. D. D., is the man and he has established himself as being in class AAA1 as a pulpit orator and a safe leader. A rally for general claims is staged for 3 o'clock Sunday at which many are planning to be present. He has invited those who may be interested to take part in the organization of a literary society next Thursday night, August 12th. The first program will be a paper by Dr. Boatned and a general debate, subject, "Resolved, That the Negro should organize a party of his own." In spite of the disadvantages and the limited time in which the campaign workers had to operate, the rally at M. Olive Baptist church last Sunday proved a great success. Aside from the current expense fund, there was laid upon the table Sunday night in cash $357. More than $200 of this amount was gathered in by a club led by Mrs. L. V. Hines. The remainder was brought in by Mesdames F. L. Delaney, M. W. Mack and Miss Hawkins. There is still firing from the trenches. Mrs. F. H. Alexander has supplemented with a handsome sum of cash for her club since Sunday. Hence we are unable to give the total amount of finances at this time. Each captain is still collecting pledges. Mrs. Delaney must have been firing with a millimeter gun as she succeeded, by long range, in bringing down financial results from the Hills and Rainwaters, who reside in Yuma, Arizona. The pastor, Rev. S. E. Newell, spoke last Sunday night on the subject, "The Gallantry of Christian Soldiers." Text, Exodus, 14th chapter, 14th verse: The Lord Shall Fight for You and You Shall Hold Your Peace. Mrs. K. Hines of Houston, Texas, and her niece, Miss Consuelo Neal, one of the teachers in the city schools at Houston, spent several days in Prescott visiting Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Hines. They are now visiting in Los Angeles. Mother Hines will return to Prescott soon. WOMAN WRITES OF TRIP TO LOS ANGELES AND COAST RESORTS (By Marion Noble) We have just returned from Los Angeles, Cal., where we had one of the most delightful visits since coming to the Southwest. While in Los Angeles Mr. Noble and I were the house guests of Mrs. Sarah Middleton and son, Payne. They were not only prepared to entertain us, but did entertain us royally on just two days' notice. We had never met Mrs. Middleton and son but had corresponded with them for three years, making us dear friends, through our son, Eddie Noble, who has passed into the great beyond. Arriving in Los Angeles, we were met at the station by Mrs. Middleton and Mrs. Geo. P. White, a friend of ours for many years in Phoenix. That night Mr. Payne Middleton mapped out a route for us to take the next day, which was Wednesday. Promptly at 9:45 Wednesday morning the car rolled up to the door and a jolly bunch entered for a sightseeing trip. In the party were Mrs. Middleton, Mr. Russel, Mr. Noble and myself. We were driven out Wilshire boulevard, past the L. A. Country club, through and about the grounds of the Old Soldiers' home at Sawtelle, Brentwood Country club, Palisades and Inspiration Point, Santa Monica, beach drive on the ocean front to the Indian moving picture point, Ocean Park, Venice, Playa del Rey, El Segunda, Bruce, Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo beaches, through to San Pedro, Point Firmin, Fort McArthur submarine base and back to the city of Los Angeles. We reached Los Angeles about 7 p. m., after a 95-mile drive through the most beautiful scenery my eyes ever beheld. Thursday, July 8, we again went for a drive. This time we went through the beautiful residence district, Elysian Park drive, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Wilshire boulevard, Griffith Park and back to Los Angeles. Friday we enjoyed a nice quiet rest. Rest, REST. Saturday, Mrs. George White was asked to join the part and we went to Pasadena, Busch's Gardens, Oak Knoll, Alhambra, Romona Acres and back to Los Angeles. Sunday we went to Pasadena and Monrovia, also visited Mother Wright's sanitarium at the foothills of Monrovia on our way home. We stopped at the aviation fields. It cost only $5 to go up and ride over the beautiful city of Pasadena. There were seven in the party, Mrs. Middleton, Mr. Russel, Mr. Warren, Mr. Middleton, Mrs. Russel, Mr. Noble and myself. Mr. Middleton and I were the only ones in the party that were game enough to put on the leather coats and caps. They strapped you in, you waved your hand and sailed away through the air. My! but ain't it a grand and glorious feeling when you come back to terra firma? It's an experience you will not soon forget. As we were driven through Pasadena in the twilight, I shall never forget the beautiful chimes that rang out so clearly. Monday evening we attended the third annual piano and organ recital by the pupils of the Elmer C. Bartlett school of music, in which two concert Steinway grand pianos were used. Prof. Bartlett was assisted by Miss Gottschalk. Too much cannot be said of these two eminent musicians as their work in the musical world stands out pre-eminently. After the concert we had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Bartlett personally. He is a fine man and we were indeed delighted to converse with him. Thursday afternoon we were the guests of Mrs. George P. White on Central avenue, where we met Mrs. Mollie Vaughn of Phoenix. The party of six rose from the lunch table, donned our sport suits and hats and were off to Wilmington, where we took the steamer for Catalina Islands. It was just 3:33 p. m. when we started and we arrived at Catalina at 6 o'clock sharp. The sea was very rough and I was seasick all the way over. They call it "feeding the fish." Well, I fed them all right. I lost about three pounds in one afternoon, but the other members of the party enjoyed the 29 miles of ocean voyage. I, too, would have enjoyed the trip had it not been for the fact that there were so many fish to feed. We spent the night on the island and, had a ride in the glass boat the next morning before taking the steamer for Wilmington. The ocean was calm and beautiful and I shall never forget the trip as long as I live. My husband liked to pull my head off trying to show me a shark, but all I saw was his fins. I was afraid to look because I thought possibly I would have to feed him, too. On our return we had lunch with TALLY'S ARENA Friday, August 6th 8:30 P. M. TO A FINISH PETE SAUER VS.

A four-course repast was served and enjoyed by all. Friday we said good-by and departed for Phoenix, our home. We cannot find words to express our gratitude to our friends who so royally entertained us. (By Reginald Jackson) Mrs. Leroy Essex of Phoenix arrived in the city last week and will spend several days with her husband.

Get Your Bike New Parents whose children will enter school this fall will do well to look over the large stock of bicycles on display at King Brothers, 110 East Adams street. Now is the time to buy that bike for your boy or girl. Make your selection now while the stock is complete. The Rev. M. Thompson, pastor of the C. M. E. church, corner Seventh street and Jefferson, preached two powerful sermons last Sunday to his congregation. Both services were well attended and two new members were received into the fold.

All invited to come and hear these sermons. The total collection for last Sunday was $35.50. Ready for the Rush Cleveland, Shannon and Turner, owners of the O. K. Tailoring company, 41 South Second street, are making ready for the fall rush in the second-hand clothing business. They have bought heavily during the summer and have a large stock of trousers, coats, suits, overcoats, in fact, anything that men and boys wear. They guarantee a savings of $10 to $30 on every suit or overcoat you buy of them. If you have old clothes to sell, they will take them in exchange or pay you the spot cash.

Mrs. Della King, who only a few months ago opened the California Hat Cleaning Works at 224 East Adams street, is doing a land office business and turning out first-class work. Mrs. King states that her business is a living refutation of the saying that colored people will not patronize their own business enterprises, as her success has been builted on colored patronage. She believes that people nowadays are looking for Service with a big "S." and will support any worthy enterprise that features service. Mrs. King is kept busy all the time, and she remarked, that, if this is the dull season, she wonders what business will be like when the fall rush begins. Celebrate Seventieth Birthday Mr. William Pace, our popular jeweler and watchmaker at 541 East Washington street, celebrated his 70th anniversary Tuesday, August 3.

Mr. and Mrs. Archie Lewis and baby were visitors in the city a few days this week, while en route to Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Lewis for the past three years has been the Ray representative for the Tribune and through his inimitable style, has made the Ray column the most popular column in the Tribune. He has turned over the work of reporting the Ray news to Mr. Chester Maryland, a young man recently graduated from an eastern college, and Archie will take care of the Los Angeles column. It is a case where he has risen from reporter for a small mining town to that of representative for a large city.

Fall Goods Arrive W. J. Jones, manager of the Palace Tailoring company, 419 East Washington street, received an attractive line of samples for his fall and winter trade and is busy arranging the display. Mr. Jones says there is no excuse for wearing a custom-tailored suit when he can fit you out in a hand-tailored suit of the same material for less money. Last year the Palace Tailoring company sold an average of five tailored-to-measure suits per day and that without a single djssatisfied customer. This year they will attempt to double their previous record. Eight years in Phoenix and a guarantee with every sale, that's the way their business has been built. At Second Baptist Church Rev. J. M.

The state supreme court in an order received here sets aside the verdict of guilty in the case of Will Kelly, an aged Negro of Cowpens, this county, convicted of attempted assault upon a little white girl and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, and orders the Negro's release. The supreme court says there was no evidence upon which to base a conviction. In its order the court says: "When a man is charged with evil thought ripened into action, his fellow-triers cannot rest judgment on their knowledge of original sin inherent in the prisoner, else none of us would escape judgment. The evil thought, which is the original intent, only becomes unlawful when he who harbors it proceeds to put it into action. The single act of the defendant, testified to by the female child, does not tend to prove that when he put his hand upon her that he had a criminal intent. To so hold would hurt the law more than it would hurt the defendant. The judgment is reversed with direction to enter a verdict of not guilty."

He has been in America 95 years and had started to Ireland to look up boyhood friends he imagines are still alive. After four days in New York he gave up the trip. Miss N. F. Wright of the Travelers Aid society assisted the old man to buy his ticket home. He was poorly dressed and she asked if he needed money. She shelled out $10,000 on her desk. She bought him a ticket and a draft and sent him back home. If going out on a particularly important trip and you want good luck to come out of it, have some on throw a slipper at you. It is supposed to be particularly bad luck if one returns to a place to say good-by to a member of the house-hold whom she forgot to say good-by to before. Repentance comes readily when you see what your sin has cost you. A woman often finds herself well fixed financially after having failed in marriage. DAY
