DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN ATLANTA PLACED IN AWFUL SHAPE
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.—Probably the most startling statement ever issued by a public official in the South, came recently from District Attorney Alexander Hooper. It is remarkable both for its fearlessness and suggestiveness. It deals with the terrible state of affairs in lawless regions of Georgia and in "the name of a just and righteous God," he declares, "I solemnly protest before the people of Georgia." Says the statement: "What I said in the papers Thursday about the mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia was a mild statement of the facts. In three separate matters that have been brought to my attention since that day, my complaint has been illustrated and emphasized. In one of them greed for a Negro's labor is charged to have resulted in a cold-blooded and atrocious murder.
"I do not speak of this positively, however, as yet, because in that particular case, while I am having a careful investigation made, the official report is not yet in hand. I wish to call attention, however, to a complaint made to me yesterday, and the circumstances of it and principally in the hope the publicity may prevent a threatened crime. Five Negroes, all apparently well-behaved and industrious farmers, each working his own little farm, within 30 miles of Atlanta, have been warned by night riders to leave the neighborhood. They came to appeal to me for protection. They had been to the governor's office, but as he was not in, a secretary referred them to me. I can, of course, do nothing. There is no violation of the federal laws in what is threatened.
"The circumstances of the case and matters which have heretofore come to my knowledge in the same locality, lead me to entertain the belief that, in this particular case, the underlying purpose is to force the Negroes to sell and sacrifice their little homes.
"I was much mortified in being compelled to say that it was out of my power to extend them any protection. But I was far more deeply mortified in not being able to answer this question which they came back with, after conference to solemnly and seriously propound:
"Well, we have our wives and our children and our homes. If the night riders carry out their threats and come back to attack us, what do you advise us to do?
"As an officer of the United States I could not answer that question. The government can not legislate in such cases, and has not attempted to do so. The offense is against the laws of the state. I can not meddle in it. But, I love my state, and I am humiliated. As an individual I know what I would do. But if I advised these Negroes so, I know the consequences that would follow to them, and I was and am humiliated beyond expression, because I could do nothing but advise them to go to the sheriff and ask protection.
"The people of Georgia have no conception of the meanness and cruelty with which helpless Negroes are being treated. I wish I could make the state to see and know the horrible things that are being done and which come to my knowledge almost daily.
"In the name of a just and right eous God I solemnly protest before the people of Georgia."

BACK TO FARM MOVEMENT URGED BY EDUCATOR
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 10.—Persons who profess Christianity and yet continue to discriminate against Negroes or Japanese in California, are hypocrites, declares Professor Charles Zueblin in the last of his series of lectures on "Americanization," at the Wtiherspoon hall.
Professor Zueblin declared that true religion is not exclusive and that there can be no religion that admits some to the advantages of America and not others. "Love your neighbors," according to his interpretation, means to treat Japanese, Africans and natives of other countries allike.
He urged the "back to the country" movement as a cure for many present-day ill. Real productive or creative work, he believes, will cure much of the discontent that is being fostered by artificial city life.
RACE PROBLEM MUST BE STUDIED 1ST HAND TO BE UNDERSTOOD
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Boston, Mass., Feb. 10.—That real first hand knowledge of the Negro creates genuine interest in his welfare, is attested in the case of Mrs. Margaret Deland, the writer, who declared in a statement, "I regard this problem as of very grave importance to the nation. It needs the enthusiastic support of all persons interested in the welfare of the country. In France the Negro soldier fought for democracy and died for it. Those who survive have come home and are not allowed to live democracy. They learned a lesson on the battle-field which they will never forget."
Mrs. Deland cannot explain why she had not regarded the Negro question of supreme importance in all the years of travel and observation whica she enjoyed before the war. She confesses that she became an enthusiastic convert following the study made at Hampton and wishes that everybody interested in the welfare of the country might study the question at first hand as she has done.

The rally given by the A. M. E. church of Globe proved a great success. A lovely program was rendered and the sum of $108.40 was raised. Mr. Ivy Woods and Mr. A. A. McDonald have accepted positions with the Arizona Eastern railroad. Mrs. W. E. Coleman and her niece, Catherine Howard, left last week for Long Beach, Calif., where the latter will be left with her mother. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Bates of Miami were dinner guests of Mrs. Reddicks last Sunday. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met last Tuesday at Miami. Mr. and Mrs. Staton and Miss Willie Jones returned last Wednesday from Santa Barbara, Calif.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1921
LOUIS B. ANDERSON OPPOSED BY EDITOR OF CHICAGO WHIP
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Feb. 10.—Alderman Louis B. Anderson, who with Major Robert R. Jackson, represents the famous Second Ward in the city council of Chicago, is being opposed for the nomination this month by William C. Linton, one of the editors of the Chicago Whip.
Alderman Anderson is the acknowledged "floor leader" for William Hale Thompson, mayor, and is regarded as one of the strongest men in the council. He has recently been placed on the powerful finance committee, a coveted privilege of all legislative bodies, and a stepping stone to higher things.
Editor Linton is, according to his statement, "making the fight for the common people." In the Third Ward, which now has the second largest colored population and is now represented by a white alderman, Dr. William F. Garnett, one of the leading dentists of the city, without reference to race, is a candidate for alderman. His backers claim he has a "fighting chance."

The program at Fear's Missionary Institute on last Sunday was indeed interesting. The pastor, Rev. Jno. D. Fears, carried us over the mountain tops with his sermon; subject, "Stand Forth and Stretch Forth." Mark 3:3:5.
At 3 p. m., the Rev. Daniel Pleasant preached the Institute sermon from the subject, "My Father's House," and we know that heaven is prepared for the saints. John 14:1:3. Our hearts were made to rejoice and we are indeed pleased to have had this distinguished minister with us.
At 8 p. m., the Rev. J. L. Rainey delivered the keynote sermon from the subject, "Righteousness." Among other things, Rev. Rainey said: "More people should attend the Institute and more women should attend church as an example for the men, because righteousness begets righteousness."
This Institute is inspiring the young men and enabling them to preach the gospel with power, for the Bible is the Book of Wisdom and Understanding.
Last week we received several communications with remittances in response to our appeal for financial aid. Following is an excerpt from a letter received from Dr. Jas. Livingston of Mesa, Arizona:
"Mesa, Ariz., Feb. 5, 1921.
"Mrs. E. M. A. Fears, Columbus, N. M.
Dear Madam—I am a reader of the Phoenix Tribune and through its columns I heard a cry for financial assistance. Enclosed find $1.00. This is all I have, but I know God will give me another dollar. O, that every member of our Race would rally to your support. I know God will bless you in the great work you are doing for His cause. My final and solemn admonition to you is: 'Be not weary in well doing, for ye shall reap if ye faint not.' Continue in the Faith.
"Yours truly,
"Dr. Jas. Livingston."
May God bless Dr. Livingston and may others catch the spirit and rally to our support. Our motto is: "High Thinking and Right Living." Send all contributions to Mrs. E. M. A. Fears, Box 311, Columbus, N. M. Small or large contributions thankfully received.
UNIQUE SCHEME HAS BEEN ADOPTED TO CHECK CRIME WAVE
(By The Associated Negro Press)

COOLIDGE SAID TO HAVE SPILLED THE BEANS IN ATLANTA
COOLIDGE SAID TO HAVE SPILLED THE BEANS IN ATLANTA
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, Feb. 10.—The news has reached, Washington that Vice-President-Elect Coolidge went down to Atlanta and literally "spilled the beans." The distinguished Massachusetts statesman was one of the chief guests of the Southern Tariff congress which met in Atlanta last week. One of the features of the program mapped out for him by his host was a meeting at which he spoke to the colored people of Atlanta.
This meeting was held in the First Congregational church. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey presided and the cream of the colored population were out in abundance. Spelman Seminary and Moorehouse college provided a musical program "that delighted the distinguished guest and the auditors as well." Among other things Mr. Coolidge said:
"I come from the commonwealth of Massachusetts where there are many people interested in your welfare, who have contributed money without end to the upbuilding of those institutions that you are interested in, in order that you might profit by the very best that they have. They have sent among you too, teachers, who have undertaken to help and instruct you in all that is best on this side of paradise; and perhaps you owe to the commonwealth of Massachusetts and its citizens something of a debt of gratitude.
"But as great as all that may be, all that the commonwealth of Massachusetts and your friends there have done for you, does not compare with that which the people around you have done for you; and friendly though the people of Massachusetts have been, and helpful though they may have been, you have no better friends than those who live about you here and contribute always to your welfare, your success and your happiness. And if you want to make good for the work that has been done by the men and women of Massachusetts, then continue in your well doing; continue to co-operate with the people around you here; continue in your industry, in your work day by day.
"I want, as an American, to see you increase in your character; to see you progress in your material welfare; to see you continue to exemplify, as you have done, the very best there is in the character of men and women, and, in the devotion always—whatever your temptations may be—that which you have exemplified from time to time to America, to its flag, to its institutions and to its preservation forever."
This was the closing sentence of Mr. Coolidge's speech. At least this is the report of it sent out of Atlanta. From what can be gleaned from the comments of some of the prominent colored men and women here in Washington, Mr. Coolidge failed utterly to catch any of the present-day spirit of the colored people in the city of Atlanta excepting in his particular reference to the matter of "temptation" to be other than Americans. Things are very quiet here in a general way. It may be the calm before the proverbial storm. Nobody seems to have any idea what is going to happen. It may be that this condition of uncertainty is the reason for the disturbing effect of the Coolidge speech.
Chicago, Feb. 10.—The "Bombing Brigade<sup>b</sup>, after a brief season of quietude except for bombing the home of a white real estate man who had sold a piece of Grand Boulevard property to colored citizens, has begun its work again.
Within a week two bombings have occurred. The first was a fire bomb, thrown on top of a four-story, 32 suite building, 740 East 45th street, near Cottage Grove avenue. A number of families lost all their possessions in the first that followed, and were made homeless. Fortunately no one was injured.
Wouldn't it be fine if some member of the Race invented a working cotton harvester.
SOUTHERN BLACKS SUE LANDLORD FOR $25,000 DAMAGES
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.—Suits seeking $25,000 damages will be brought in federal district court against Tom Erwin, wealthy farmer of Oglethrope county, by two Negroes alleged to have been held in a state of peonage, their attorney, Roy S. Brennan, says.
They are Grover White and Walter Martin. The basis of the suit is false arrest and imprisonment, said to have been caused by Erwin, so that the men might be held in bondage on his property. Martin told District Attorney Hooper Alexander he had been worked by Erwin 8 years, receiving only his food and clothing. White told of serving three years in similar circumstances.
On several occasions, the men said, they escaped, but were captured and flogged. Their story is one of many relating to peonage on which the district attorney's appeals "to the conscience of the people of Georgia" were based.
Erwin was an overseer on the estate of the late Jim Smith, whose holdings of millions are involved in complicated litigation.

The Giants outplayed the Cubs and won, 5 to 4. The Cubs gave poor support to their pitcher. The same teams will play another game on the same grounds next Sunday. The Tucson Giants would like to arrange games with other teams throughout the state. Write Cornelius Fitcher, 76 Jackson street, Tucson, Arizona. A chitterling supper was given Tuesday night at the home of Mrs. Jas Foster, 310 East Sixth street.

NOVEL SUGGESTION GIVEN BY RENOWN ANTHROPOLOGIST
(By The Associated Negro Press)
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 10.—Writing on the Negro problem in the January Kale Review, Frank Boas, an anthropologist of note says, "The greatest hope for the immediate future lies in a lessening of the contrast between Negroes and whites which will bring about a lessening of class consciousness. It would seem therefore, to be in the interest of society to permit rather than to restrain marriage between white men and Negro women. It would be futile to expect that our people would tolerate inter-marriages in the opposite direction, although no scientific reason can be given that would prove them to be detrimental to the individual."

(Special To The Tribune)
Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.-Mrs. Harding, wife of President-elect Harding, was interviewed by a representative of this bureau. She was extremely busy packing and preparing to move from her Wyoming home, but was willing to spare the time to extend a greeting of cheer to the Colored people of the nation. She said:
"I thank the Colored press for the support which they gave Senator Harding." When introduced to Mrs. M. L. Gray, president of the Negro Woman's Republican League, she extended her hand, and with a smile that one could see came from the heart, stated: "The wonderful support that was given to Senator Harding by the Colored women of our great nation shall ever be green in our memory, and I know Senator Harding will give to the Colored citizens of our nation a square deal."

REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE SOUTHLAND TO BE REORGANIZED
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Feb. 10.—The Republican party in the South is to be reorganized. Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican National Committee has announced the personnel of the committee in accordance with resolutions pased at the last national convention in Chicago.
"A complete reconstruction in that region" has been announced by a statement issued from headquarters of the committee in Washington. The committee consists of Representative Bascom Slemp, Virginia; Earl Kinsley, national committeeman, Vermont; R. B. Howell, national committeeman, Nebraska; Will H. Hays, ex-officio chairman; Clarence B. Miller, ex-officio secretary.
The Associated Negro Press is following very closely the aims and purposes of political organization in the South. Immediately following the November election a series of articles was carried on the subject by Major John R. Lynch, former congressman from Mississippi, and a former temporary chairman of the republican national convention.
Colored Americans throughout the United States are deeply concerned in the experiment the republican party is about to make. Henry Lincoln Johnson, republican committeeman from Georgia, has assured The Associated Negro Press that no move will be made by the party that will not take into full consideration equal citizenship of all Negro citizens. It can be stated on the highest authority that President-elect Harding, Chairman Will Hays, Harry M. Daugherty, one of the closest advisors of the president-elect, and other leaders, strongly favor Negro suffrage justice. On the other hand they ae thoroughly in earnest about spreading republican gospel among whites in the South.
There are a number of Negro leaders who look with suspicion on any effort to ally southern whites with the republican party. On the question of Negro voting there is no absolutely "fair" section in the South. These facts were brought out plainly in the recent hearing before the census committee in Washington. Southern white people have an eternal fear and dread of "Negro political domination." They say it will never be, because they claim that they will never let the time come again when the Negro will be allowed to vote freely.
Thoughtful people, however, in this "fluid state of world civilization," to quote one of the utterances of the president-elect, know full well that 15,000,000 American Negroes can never be expected to forever submit to disfranchisement and chicanery in elections.
This great group of Americans has come to the place, where without fear and with unquenchable determination for justice, they are matching brains with brains and wealth with wealth in working out political problems. They are playing the political game for position in order to obtain power in order to grant justice. The program is thorough and definite, and it is succeeding. It will hardly be expected in the North, South, East or West, that the republican party will endeavor to "pull" anything and get away with it. American Negroes are "hep" on all the present day tricks of the political game, and all the political "signs of the times."

You insult from a white man, in that the great, supreme white man not what he may do. Yes, I know and virtue, but wherever you means superiority and supreme of America," is it expressed in the formacks, Bleases, Vardamans and America more nearly found in the wives joy, Phillips, Beecher, Lincoln and Warren G. Harding?—A. N.
Like Diogenes with his lantern, searching for an honest man, or like the sacred search for the Holy Grail, we have set about with high hopes, strong resolutions and simple faith to find "The Soul of America." That the search will be long seems quite probable; that it will be futile, seems unreasonable.
The "Soul of America," where is it, what is it? Was it the soul of America that made Harvard university hold high the banner of human justice and fling the carrion prejudice back in the red and haughty faces of white southern colleges? Or was it the soul of America that gathered in the fair grounds in Birmingham on a dark, cold night, swinging the loathesome banner of the Klux, and bellowing out 'white supremacy. This is a white man's country?" Antipodial motives actuated each. But both cannot thrive and be perpetual. Sooner or later one must fall everlastingly. We may as well tell the truth.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand," and as in the crashing truth of Abraham Lincoln, "This nation cannot exist half slave and half free," neither can it exist half just and half unjust.
"White Supremacy", what does this mean? Far better and more appropriate would be the sobriquet "white humility." The massacre of American Indians and the defiling of Negro women, forsooth, partakes of the "supreme" but is it a record of glory?
All of which is to say, the boastful theories and claims of the radical white are just as silly and senseless as the boastful claims of the rabid black. Both are without foundation, and are mockery.
Harvard upholds human rights, and the narrow whites of the South say that such a course makes the Negro "seek social equality," that is to say, carrying out the theory, Harvard graduates would turn their backs on the people of their own race, if they were black, and seek to mingle and marry among the whites. And to this claim Richard T. Greener, Robert H. Terrell, William H. Lewis, Clarence Matthews, A. L. Jackson, Monroe Trotter and scores of others are living, active thriving refutations.
"What shall I tell my son?" asks the reputable, intelligent, thrifty, successful Negro father. He continues: "Must I sit him down before me the happy comforts of our home and say: 'My son, I have some very important information to impart to you tonight. I have kept the truth from you for a long time, but now you must be told. My son, you belong to an inferior race, and this is a white man's country. Yes, I took the honors in college, and have been eminently successful in business. I have overcome all obstacles and have reared a family of which I am proud, and this home with all its comforts is ours entirely, and we have splendid investments and money in the bank for all emergencies. But son, you are very inferior to any person with a white skin, and in Heaven and earth and possibly in Hell, the white race is supreme! Must I says that?" he asks.
"What shall I tell my daughter?" asks the charming, cultured, beautiful Negro mother. She continues: "Must I place my arms about her and look in her sweet and gentle face and say, 'Daughter, my dear, you have no honor that a white man is bound to respect. You are a mere thing, a poor inferior, and all white people are superior and supreme. You must never think of resenting an insult from a white man, in fact you are so near nothing that the great, supreme white man cannot insult you, it matters not what he may do.

"The Soul of America," is it expressed in the sentiments of the Tillmans, Carmacks, Bleases, Vardamans and Dixons, or is the Soul of America more nearly found in the words of Garrison, John Brown, Lovejoy, Phillips, Beecher, Lincoln, Sumner, Foraker, Roosevelt and Warren G. Harding?—A, N, P.
Douglas has a Colored population of about 400 souls and we have only one barber to care for the male members of our group. This barber also takes care of the business in another little town not far away and sometimes is absent as long as two weeks. When he returns there is a long line of men waiting for him at his shop, also six or seven at the depot. Everyone wants to be first. It looks as though David Patillo and Albert Smith are always first, because they work at the depot and are first to see him. No Sunday school was held last Sunday at the Baptist church, due to the fact that most of the children were confined to their homes with measles. We trust all will be out on

MRS. HOLT'S EXPERIENCES
The few notes I am now giving will also be very helpful to those who do not know how to sew.
Ways of Hanging Skirts
1. Putting hem in with skirt-mark: Put the skirt on the figure. Put the skirt-mark on floor, move it around the skirt the length desired from floor. After having marked the skirt, run a thread around for fear it may rub off. If goods are dark run a light thread. If goods are light run a dark thread, so it may be seen. Turn up and baste hem.
2. To hang with yard stick: Measure all around skirt, beginning at waist and measure 6 inches downward, then mark around the skirt to where the 6 inches stop. Then place the yard stick in front of skirt, measure all around until reaching the back.
By Henry C. Lewis
Executed—An executed contract is one where the conditions on both sides have been fulfilled, and there remains nothing to be done under the contract. An executed contract is therefore a completed contract. It is performed, and all obligations thereunder are discharged.
Executory—An executory contract is a contract wherein that which is to be done is to be done in the future at some stated date, or within a certain time. In such contracts the obligations of the contract remain in full force upon all the parties until the undertaking is completed.
Partly executed and partly executory contracts where one party has performed the obligations thereby imposed upon him, but something remains to be done on the part of the other party. Until all the parties have completed their obligations the contract is not fully executed. These are sometimes termed unilateral contracts.
A contract, the obligation of which is not dependent upon, or determined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of some stated event, but which goes into effect immediately, is called an absolute contract.
A conditional contract is the contrast of an absolute contract in that its binding force and effect is de-

Misses Juliette and Helen Sturgis of El Paso, Tex., are visiting their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. King of 1025 Railroad avenue.
The A. M. E. church was artistically decorated last Saturday night for the wedding. Mrs. N. L. Reed played a selection entitled, "Lonesome, That's All," and Mrs. F. Andrews sang it to the delight of all. The bride was the niece of Mrs. E. Taylor, 525 Fourteenth street, and Mrs. O. Lewis of Columbus, N. M. The groom was the nephew of Mrs. H. L. Bailey and Mr. G. E. Thomas of 627 Sixteenth street. Over 75 people were present to witness the ceremony, which was solemnized by Rev. J. R. Rector of the C. M. E. church. The bride wore a white silk gown and carried a bunch of carnations. The bridesmaid, Miss Clara Harris, was attired in a pretty white dress. The groom and the best man wore the conventional black. A wedding supper was served after the ceremony, and all enjoyed the feast. We wish the newlyweds a happy married life.

Get length desired. Turn up and hem.
3. First place skirt on figure, letting it be on the floor. Turn up as to be on floor all around. Having the same length, paste and hem.
4. Hemming with pasteboard; Mark the length desired from floor, cut a small dash out of the cardboard, run the cardboard along on floor with the skirt touching in place cut out, pining or basting as you go around. When finished turn in, baste and hem.
5. Lay on table, letting front and back of waist pinned together, hip sides together. Then measure front downward, sides and back. If it is 36 inches front, $36\frac{1}{2}$ inches sides and 37 inches lack, measure both hips, one may be larger than the other one. After getting it level, turn in, baste and stitch.

pendent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of some stated event.
An entire contract is one in which the consideration is met by the terms of the contract susceptible of division. A divisible contract is one which by its terms the consideration is divided or is susceptible of division. For instance, if Jim labors for another as cook and waiter for $50 a month, the contract is entire, but if by its terms the contract was that as cook Jim was to get $30 and as waiter $20 a month, the contract is divisible—this is to say the consideration for each service contracted for is divisible from the other by the terms of the contract itself.
A valid contract is, of course, one wherein all the essentials prescribed by the law; that is, as to parties, consideration, legality of subject matter and of purpose are complete.
Void agreements are those which lack some one or more of the legal essentials of a valid contract. The courts will therefore give such contracts no judicial recognition—except to refuse enforcement.
Contracts which, while complying fully with the requirements of the law as to substance, have an element therein which gives legal grounds for avoiding it at the option of one or more of the parties thereto. Contracts of minors and those obtained by fraud, duress, etc., are illustrations of this class.

If you go to the lake
An' you follow the road

Of the mill,
Till you come to a stake
A surveyor has thrown
Like a knife in the breast
Of the hill,
An' you follow the track
Till you come to a blaze
By the side of the same
In a limb,
You will light on a shack,
In the timber a ways.
Of a party whose name
It is Jim.
In a day that is flown,
'Mid the great an' the grand,
In a time when his hair
Wasn't gray.
He was commonly known
By a father's brand
In a city back there,
So they say.
But it's Jim, only Jim,
Is the name that he gives,
When you happen to bring
Up the same;
It is plenty for him
In the woods where he lives,
Per the man is the thing,
Not the name.
By the gleam of his eye,
Thet is steady an' clear,
By the way he will look
At you square.
You will know that they lie
'Who would make it appear
He was maybe a crook
Over there.
In the church I have stood—
Heard of preachin' a lot
Thet I never could much
Understand;
An' yet never the good
From a sermon I got
Thet I got from a clutch
Of his hand.
I have half an idea
Thet, if back you could turn
To the start of the trail
Do you spell
Thet a woman you'd see,
Thet a lot you would learn—
Thet the reguler tale
It would tell
Of a fellah too fond,
Of a woman too weak,
Or another who came
To her door—
Then an endless beyond,
Lips that never must speak,
Lips that never but a name
Evermore
If you go to the town
An' you follow the street,
To a mansion of brown
By the glitter an' glow
Of the night,
Where the music is sweet
An' the lute whispers low
On the night,
In the dark of a room
At the end of a hall,
Where the visions of old
Flutter in,
There she sits in the gloom,
She, the Cause of it all,
In the midst of her gold
An' her sin.
If you go to the lake
An' you follow the road
As it turns to the west
Of the mill;
All you come to a stake
A surveyor has thrown
Like a knife in the breast
Of the hill;
An' you follow the track
Till you come to a blaze
By, the side of the same
In a limb,
You will light on the shack,
In the timber a ways,
Of a party whose name
It is Jim.

Last Night's Dreams
—What They Mean
WHEN it comes to a matter of money the oracles seem to dispute over "finitely lucre" just as ordinary mortals are apt to do. Some of them say that to dream of finding money is a bad sign, indicating losses; and dreaming of losing money is a good sign, indicating gain; probably working on the "dreams go, by contraries" hypothesis. But the best and most eminent authorities do not agree to this. Some of them admit that to dream of finding money signifies worries, but declare that out of these temporary worries great good will come; while others content themselves with the statement that to dream of finding money is lucky. All agree that to dream of losing money is a sign of good business, though one authority darkly hints that you may have a spat with your wife—if you have one—after such a dream. As to dreaming of saving money, there are two schools—the optimists and the pessimists. The optimists declare that to dream that you are saving up money means that you will have comfort and plenty, while the pessimists think it portends losses. The weight of opinion seems to be on the side of the optimists. If you dream that you are swallowing money look out for yourself; for if you don't you will become so pernicious and money-grabbing that you will almost, if not quite commit fraud to get it. So if you get this warning loosen up the purse-strings. If you dream of counting money you are liable to have a dispute over a bill. In effect it seems lucky to dream about money, but you are warned not to be too much of a millionaire in your dreams, for if you are too disgracefully rich in Dreamland your fortune will be only moderate in real life.

On last Sunday morning, February 6th, a pall of gloom was cast over the city when news of the death of William Pace of 222 North Eleventh street became known. Born in Jackson parish, Louisiana, August 8, 1850, Mr. Pace came to this city about eight years ago from Texas. He opened a jewelry and repair shop at 543 East Washington street soon after his arrival here and since has been engaged in that profession. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Masons and the Shrine. Mr. Pace also was prominent in church work, being one of the officers of the C. M. E. church. Thirty-five years ago he was married to Miss Lizzie Relford of Jefferson, Tex., and they have lived happily together all these years. Mr. Pace was the founder and organizer of Salt Valley Lodge, F. & A. Masons, of this city, and was elected Grand Marshall of the recently organized Grand Lodge of Masons for Arizona and Jurisdiction. He leaves a widow and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his passing. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the C. M. E. church, the Rev. M. Thompson officiating.

Moultrie, Ga., Feb. 10.—Farmers in Mitchell county have taken drastic steps to rid their section of Negro labor recruiters. These recruiters have been very busy signing up Negro laborers and taking them to other parts of the country. This has caused a scarcity of farm hands and prompts the farmers to efforts to rid the section of the recruiters.

in connection therewith. Through the courtesy of Judge Phillips the bill was presented, with the results as previously stated. The passage of this measure reflects credit upon the N. A. A. C. P. and other members of the race who were instrumental in securing its passage.
House Bill No. 75, being an act to provide separate high school buildings for Colored children where 20 pupils of African descent are eligible for admission to said school, came up in the Arizona State Legislature Wednesday morning for the third and final reading. The gallery was filled with interested Colored people who the past few days have been watching the progress of this bill. Rev. T. J. Sanford, pastor of the A. M. E. church, was, by unanimous consent of the members of the House, given an opportunity to speak ten minutes in support of the bill before final action was taken. Dr. Sanford delivered a wonderful address, and when the final vote was taken on the bill, it passed without a dissenting vote. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through its leaders, was the father of the movement to have such a bill presented to the legislature, and they have worked faithfully, day and night, to secure the passage of this measure. Our Colored attorney, William E. Watkins, was employed by the association to draft the bill and look after other technicalities that might arise
Antioch Baptist Church
Splendid services were held at the Antioch Baptist church on last Sunday, and the pastor, Rev. C. A. Gilmore, delivered two strong sermons that were well received. The attendance was large and the collections up to the usual standard.
Mrs. Dawson Is Hostess
Last Thursday afternoon, February 3rd, Mrs. E. S. P. Dawson of 1002 East Fillmore street, was hostess at a delightful affair given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wathall of Los Angeles, Cal., who were spending their honeymonay in the city. An adequate description cannot be given of the artistic decorations and excellent service rendered as only one skilled in the profession could be expected to render. Suffice it to say, this was one of the most beautiful and elaborate social affairs of the season.

THE PRESS
It's wonderful to think about
The power of the press.

Des Moines, Iowa.—Trade unionists in this state are opposing the Kime bill, patterned after Allen's "can't strike law in Kansas.

The year had gloomily begun
For Willie Weeks, a poor man's Sun
He was beset with bill and dun,
And he had very little Mou.
"This cash," he said, "it won't pay dues,
I've nothing here but ones and Tues."
A bright thought struck him, and he said,
"The rich Miss Goldrocks I will Wed."
But when he paid his court to her,
She lisped but firmly said, "No, Thur."
"Alas," said he, "then I must die!"
His soul went where they say souls Fri.
They found his gloves and coat and hat,
And the coroner then upon him Sat.
