The Sinking of the CRIDER Fort Scott Statesman Second District Nor ager Griffin W of the Cano He Visits Several Counties a Pulse---Sentiment is Grow Next Governor Roosevelt Carries Bourbon County. The Colonel has undoubtedly taken on more steam and the result in Bourbon county Saturday is causing the regulars to sit up and take notice, and they are now admitting that he is in the race and cutting lots of ice. With Crudder and Roosevelt as their standard bearers, the progressives swept everything in sight. It was one of the most stubbornly contested pennances in the history of Bourbon county. Lines were drawn tight—both sides seem to it that every member of their forces were out and voted. Mr. Crider is a candidate for the Second district congressional nomination and if straws tell the direction of the wind, he is as good as nominated and elected. He is no doubt the strongest man in the district, in fact the only Republican that can beat Mr. Taggatt. The majority of the newspapers in the district are for M. Crider, and if nominated many Democrats will support him because he is a clean, honorable man and will not represent any interest, chique clean, but will be a true representative of our people. In collected boys almost to a minute for Cinder and Rimcott, and it is the first in that they paid it with a hand out among w Mr. Cinder's tending in the district, we submit the following excerpts from the ladder paper of the district, which can be ting the same pt and from the vote.

He is a graduate of the Heidelberg University of Illinois, Ohio, in the class of 1889. He read law with John M. Connel of Lancaster, colored of the 17th Ohio regiment of Infantry in the late war. He came to Port Scott in 1900 and has since been a resident of this city, practicing law as a profession. For ten years, until last year, he was Grand Master of the A. O. U. W. of Kansas, thus giving him a wide personal acquaintance. He was a presidential elector at large for Kansas in 1901, the year in which Theodore Roosevelt was elected President of the United States. He was city attorney for Port Scott for six years. He is in the prime of life, a well There are few if any better public speaker in Kansas. Elected to congress, the people of the Second district will be assured of a representative filling the highest ideals of American citizenship — honor, integrity, devotion to duty and love of country.

Longact at Old Fellow Hall last week who more than two hundred leading Republicans not to enjoy old fashioned love feet of Republican politics, such as never more strongly matched the features of the party in its palm last days. And there was manifest a harmony and unity in such degree as means the entire elimination of fractionalities and the hundred other things that have caused two Republican defeats in the state of Kansas in the last six months. Everywhere pervaded the spirit for the Republican ticket and the sending of John H. Under to the ratification of all of representatives next November, which time will have marked the choice of a Bourbon county man to the high position but a second time in the county's history. (It will be remembered that Judge Lowe once held this coveted honor.) Hon. A. M.

The banquet of last evening has paved the way for an unbounded enthusiasm in this county. At that meeting were the representative Republican heads of his county and city. A goodly number were in attendance from the country products. The attendance goes to show that John H. Cribbar has the united support of Republicans in this locality and that every assistance is going to be tendered him by a loyal, united party, which can but mean his success at the November election. "Cribbar-fot Congress" is the slogan of Bourbon county and its citizens. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Whereas, The Republicans of Port Scott and Bampton county in mass convention assembled, recognise the Bona, John H. Under a man of clean personal life, capable, courageous and loyal to the tenets of the Republican party and the best interests and welfare of his fellowmen, therefore be it Resolved, That we heartily and desire M.

M. Crider's platform is progressive. He is one of the clearest men in Kansas politics, has a wide experience and his word is known by every man in Port Scott and Bourbon county, Republican and Democrat, to be good. Bourbon county will solidly present Mr. Crider to the consideration of the Second district primary and will give him the almost unanimous vote of his party in the county. He --- deserve at -- Tribune-Monitor. 17. --- With Known Over District. Editor Brady in the Lawrence Journal-World, refers thus kindly to the candidacy of Mr. Crider for congress. "John H. Crudder of Fort Scott has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for congress in the Second district. Mr. Crudder is quite well known over the district, is a man of fine parts and would make a good congressman. He tried to enter the race last year, but circumstances over which he had no control operated to deter him. We were particularly pleased with the position Mr. Crudder took at that time. He made his position plain, but he also voted the Republican ticket as he should have done. Mr. Crudder will not be unapposed as that is hardly over the luck of a man in the Second district but he will be entitled to the support of every Republican in the district should be nominated. John Crider a Candleat Hon. John H. Crider of Port Scott has made his formal announcement as a candidate for the nomination to congress from the Second district, subject to the will of the Republican voters at the primaries next August. Mr. Crider was a candidate before the special election, but initially decided not to enter the race. He has been active and prominent in Republican politics in the state for many years and is well known over the district and will make an aggressive campaign for the honor with the support of his home country, at best so as no other candidate has been announced on his behalf.

Good judgment is all that is necessary to succeed. --- The going down of that great ship the Titanic, last Sunday on the Atlantic ocean, with over seventeen hundred souls, is indeed painful to think of, and the rescue of over seven hundred rings joy into the millions of souls, but very sad to the survivors who left their beloved ones behind, and to bad them farewell to see them go down to death in plain view is more than the ordinary person can understand. Pate is an awful thing. There is nothing to stop it, nothing that the human mind can construe that will keep it off. No let us take it all good natured. Pate awaits us all. The white man with all his pride, wealth and genius, and provides stands at the threshold of fate like his brother in black, red and yellow. All dwell in period love and unity, always knowing that fate rests on one. The millionaire and the biggat alike went down to the bottom of the sea—one was the equal of the other when the summons came to go. We only know one of the largest and best equipped boats on the Atlantic went down on her first trip. In contact with an ice barge that may have been on it might have been an explosion, who knows? The death of Charles A. Groves of Edwardsville, Kansas, was a shock to his many friends. He was one of the most active and influential young farmers of Kansas. He was born in Wyandotte county and graduated from the Manhattan Agricultural College. He was president of the colored farmers' league and did much to inspire the race to go on the farms. He was an expert on most anything pertaining to the farm. He was big hearted, kind and generous. It was sad indeed to lose a man so young and useful to mankind. He was just arriving at manhood, being about thirty years of age at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and two children, father, mother, several sisters and brothers to mourn his loss. The Lord knows best, but we would always feel better to see the young loafer, the crime breeder and that class of nonprogressive go by the thousands than to have had such a bright young man as Charley Groves to have passed away. He died at the home of Dr. Unthank, at Kansas City, Mo, where he usually made his headquarters when in the city. His death was sudden. It is said that he ate something which contained ptomaine poison. He was buried at his home at Edwardsville, Kansas. In Sunday Funeral was held from the Baptist church where he and his family were members. The family has the sympathy of the country, as his father, I G Groves is widely known all over this country at the Potato king. Charles was his first asistant and in fact was the manager of the farm.

Wondering Chinese in Shanghai and Peking in an asking of this is the American which they have accepted as their special mentor. Indian, quick to draw historic parallels, pointing out that in the days of the Mongols, there was never a brutality like that one from the port of An, not called Coat-sville. Turkey lifts her bloody hand in self-exculpation there was never anything in an American missure to equal this. Five continents and the islands of the sea are pointing fingers of storm at this country because of the black death of one wild night in that Pennsylvania battough." NO HAVEN IN SHOWS Says the Texas Freeman: "The Freeman sees no wrong in rally or otherwise, in Christians attending the church where it is impossible to see anywhere else the curiosities, backfowls and animals of which we read in natural history, especially so in places like Houston, where there is no museum maintained or kept. Nor does it see any necessity for the Freeman, which is secular through and through and all around, cutting out advertisements which are in every way lawful, legitimate and legal. The Freeman stands pat on these issues, the stand taken being the sumum totum of its position." What harm can come to a Christian by attending a circus? In those enlightened days, people go to circuses and theatres without the least harm attending, while on the other hand it proves instructive and elevating. Our Freeman brother is right on these issues. A RISING YOUNG BANKER We note by the Birmingham American that Mr. Walter R. Pettiford, son of Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, at Birmingham, is making commendable strides in banking circles. Young Pettiford started from the bottom and has gradually worked his way up to the position of head bookkeeper and auditor of this concern and its branches. The bank is one of the strongest in the South, and while young Mr. Pettiford has been with the institution, but a short time, he has inaugurated a new system of bookkeeping and recording accounts which is considered by experts to be one of the best banking systems in vogue. He is a young man—a few years over twenty-one, and the manner in which he handling the duties imposed upon him speaks volumes for his ability, and some day he will stand away up in the front bank of America's foremost bankers. The future of the race depends upon the volunteer members of the race and of all will take up the cross, as his Mr. Pettiford, the problem solved. ```markdown ``` Members of the Hutchinson Negro Business League attended a banquet at Newton given by the business began them.

NORTON, sheriff of Shawnee county, Kansas MATT CAMPBELL, Attorney. "Whos Who and Why?" Lieut. W. A. BETTIS CONTINUES HIS TRAVELS IN SOUTHERN KANSAS FOR THE PLAINDEALER, AND WRITES OF RACE DOINGS AND POLITICS IN THESE PARTS. Of all the towns in Kansas that I have visited and that means nearly all of them, I have never had the misfortune to stroll into one where the Colored citizens were so absolutely backward and void of ambition as they are in that ancient capital of Labette county, called Oswego. The does not necessarily imply that there are not a few enterprising and ambition colored men in that burg, for there are and among that few are numbered the Smiley, Poters and Holloway, but taking the colored people as a whole are estimating probably a half a million, the white people for of Oswego as a man under last work of tour year the postal for work, the cents pro- and be still there, but seven years of class application to duty has brought his wages up to one dollar and seventy-five cents per week.

Hudson, painter, paper hanger and theator, is another substitut initial colored citizen of Chotopi who is held in high esteem by his fellow citizens. He is most of the high-class work in his line, owns a beautiful home and has an interesting family. He is an active worker in Masonic circles and has a broad acquaintance throughout the state. Mt. Charles Holloway, proprietor of the Owl cafe, is a live, wide-awake young man of Oswego. He has a first class place and a nice trade, he has an estimable wife who contributes much to his success and happiness. Charley is a potent factor in things political around Oswego. Mt. P. H. Smiley is probably the wealthiest colored man in Oswego. He has a pleasant and intelligent and a beautiful home where he lives. He has a uleasant and intelligent wife and they are noted for their generous hospitality. Johnson Furniture Company, Coffeyville, bansas. Among the substantial and reliable merchants of Coffeyville, Kansas, none are more worthy of favorable mention than the Johnson Furniture Company, 715 Union street. This firm conducts its business along the lines of strict integrity and nothing they sell is ever misrepresented. They carry a large and complete line of new and second hand goods and the prices are always right. They enjoy a large trade among our people and treat everybody fairly and squarely, and our people make no mistake by giving them their trade. P. H. Bassett, another worthy and reliable colored citizen of Chitopu owns a large and well appointed safe. He has lived in Chitopu thirty years and enjoys a most lucrative trade from both races. He has an estimatable wife and five children, a large and beautiful home, and stands for all things that are high and noble in life. LOVE, INDEPENDENCE Candidate for Nomination for Share District for the Lombok Indus in on the Republican House. In another column will be found the announcement of Ed Love for the nomination for head on the Republican ticket. This announcement will no doubt please more Republicans than any one announcement that has been made or will be made this season. Mr. Love needs no introduction to the voters of Montgomery county. He has lived among them for thirty years, and during that time his life has been as an open book. He belongs to that sturdy, honest, conscientious class of American citizens whose pluck, determination and courage have contributed so much to the upbuilding of Southern Kansas. Mr. Love has been once honored with the position of sheriff of Montgomery county, and no man has ever filled that position with great honor or credit. That he will get the nomination is generally conceded, and his election, is equally certain. Mr. Love is a man popular with all classes, and judges man according to worth and ability. The color of a man cuts no figure in his estimation. With Him a man is a man. There is probably no man in Montgomery county with a larger circle of friends and certainly none more deserving of them. Mr. Love believes that a public servant should use the same business acumen and prudence in subserving the public's interests as he would in his own private affairs. This is the policy he adhered to when sheriff and which won for him the highest commendation. He is by long odds the strongest man for the nomination, and his friends are highly elated to learn that he has consented to make the race. They are eager to get busy in his behalf. Mr. Love is a heavy taxpayer both in the city and county, and has contributed both time and means for the upbuilding of Montgomery county. and the beautiful city of Independence. W. H. COLUMBIA, CHETOPAKS. Candidate for the Nomination for Sheriff on Republican Hicket. W. H. COLUMBIA of Chetopa, Kansas, is a candidate for the nomination for sheriff on the Republican ticket and it is generally conceded by the Republicans of Labette county that he will be nominated which virtually means his ultimate election. Mr. Columbia is by far the strongest man who is aspiring for that po station. He has lived in Chetopa for totty two years, and is a man of storing worth and integrity. The best testimonial of a man's worth is to be had in the community in which he lives. In Chetopa where Mr. C Columbia resides the people are a wait for him. Many Democrats declare that if nominated they would glally support him, in spite of his long- life Republicanism. Mr. Columbia is a successful farmer and stock raiser and his word is his bond. He measures men by their worth and ability and not by the color of their skin or texture of their hair. He has during his entire life been a staunch and active friend to our people and they do not fail to appreciate the name, and are eager to give evidence of their appreciation by giving him their hearty support at the primaries on August 6th. Mr. Columbia when elected will exercise the same keen interest and business acumen in behalf of the taxpayers in conserving their interests, that he has so judiciously used in his own private business affairs and which have been so abundantly crowned with success. He is by all means the man for the Republicans to nominate for sheriff. He is the only man who can go forth and reclaim that office from the Democrats. Craft & Allison, Croyers, Chetopa, Kansas. The firm of Craft & Allison, Chetopa, Kansas, are deserving of special mention. The firm enjoys the largest grocery business in the city, and their methods of absolute honesty and square dealing has made them many friends throughout the city and county. Mr. Craft, the senior member of the firm, has been in business continuously for forty-two years, and his strict business integrity and fairness to all men has won for him a host of friends and patrons. He has always been a staunch and true friend to our people, and they do not fail to show their appreciation. It stands our people in mind to stand by such worthy merchants as Craft & Allison Among the merits of Southern Kansas who have achieved success along the lines of honesty and square dealing now are more worthy of mention than George P. Bush of the Bush Pharmacy of Octopi, Kansas. Mr. Bush has been in business in Octopi for nearly thirty years, and is one of those honest conscientious merchants who does not believe in misrepresentation in business. He carries a large and well selected stock of drugs and toilet articles. And he handles the famous Sherman and Williams paints. He has always been a staunch friend to the colored people, and they appreciate his fairness. With him "A Man is a Man for All That." Our people will do well to stand by such worthy friends as Mr. Bush Chetopa, located in the extreme Southern portion of Labette county, is one of the best little towns in Kansas. Although it is only a few miles from the Oklahoma line, that spirit of racial antipathy has never entered into the hearts of the citizens of Chetopa; they are fair-minded, honest and conscientious who believe in a square deal of all mankind, and the people of Chetopa and contiguous country represent the best type of American citizenship. While there I met and enjoyed the hospitality of our old friend, J. T. Morgan, Mr. Morgan has lived in Chetopa more than thirty years, and taught school there for ten years. He is now conducting a splendid restaurant, with the able assistance of his wife, and they number among their patrons many of the best people in the town, both white and colored. They own a beautiful home and have two accomplished daughters. Mr. Morgan is a prominent Mason and stands for race progress at all times. He is a constant reader of the Plaindealer, an ardent Taft admirer, and also a firm believer in Nick Chiles. Mrs. B. E. McFarland HAS OPENED A Beauty Parlor at 623 North Jackson.

TAFT'S RECORD AGAINST TRUSTS Sherman Law Enforced Without Fear or Favor. EXCELS HIS PREDECESSORS. Both In Civil and Criminal Prosecution Taft Administration Brooke All Records—Legal Accomplishments of Five Presidents Compared. TAFT'S ANTI-TRUST RECORD. Under the last five administrations prosecutions under the Sherman anti-trust law have been brought as follows: Crimi Civil inal suits suits Total Under Harrison (three years) 4 3 7 Under Cleveland (four years) 5 2 7 Under McKinley (four and one years) Three bills in equity Under Roosevelt (seven and one half years) 18 23 44* Under Taft (two years and eleven months) 22 40 62 The rate of prosecutions, allowing for length of time in office, of the Taft administration as compared with the records of its four immediate predecessors is approximately as follows: Taft over Harrison . . . 9 to 1 Taft over Cleveland . . . 12 to 1 Taft over McKinley . . . 30 to 1 Taft over Roosevelt . . . 4 to 1 President Laft's administration has broken all records for prosecutions brought and won under the Sherman anti trust law. Without fear or favor it has brought to the bar of justice corporations and persons engaging in thegal combinations in restraint of trade, the ultimate purpose of each combination being to create a monopoly and to raise the prices on its products. In two years and eleven months of his administration President Laft has caused to be brought four more civil suits and fifteen more criminal prosecutions than Mr. Roosevelt brought in the seven and one half years of his administration. Until Mr Tuft became the president the administration of Mr Rosevelt held the record in both particulars Thus his President Tuft, who was Mr Rosevelt's right arm during his last administration, kept his pledge to the American people to uphold and maintain the policies of his predecessor in punishing the criminals and undesirable element in the big business of the country. In the Republican national platform of 1805 reference was made to the prosecution of civil trusts and monopolies as one of the great accomplishments of the Roosevelt administration, and the platform declared that the Sherman and trust law had been a wholesome instrument for good in the hands of a wise and fearless executive in his speech of acceptance Mr. Taft pledged himself to the entourage of this law and his best promise. Problems Confronting Taft. Stripped of controversy as to the exact meaning of certain language of the Sherman and trust act, the questions that had to be determined to those in administrative authority and those who judicially determine their acts were, first, how objective the law was to reach the great contributions of formally competitive producers and dealers, individual and corporate who within inter corporate stock holding matters, consolidations and otherwise had acquired so that a court over a particular line of industry as to enable them to dominate it and to enable or admit competition, so that might be seen upon the new terms. constitution of the law as a crime which had been given to it by some of the indices of the circuit court in New York in the tobacco case and in the competition of some of the justices of the supreme court in other cases for the effect that may compel us which in any respect open to the public to deny dispute a presenting or affording in intended the committee was to consider, concluded by law In the three years of the last administration all of the sixteen cases left pending by the previous administration have been tried of except two, which have been argued and is marked to the supreme court of the United States and are now awaiting decision of the remaining cases the Standard 01 case was argued early during the present administration and after an appeal described critically in favor of the government. The judge was also true of the tobacco cases, with the ultimate result of the disintegration o that big trust into fourteen separate and distinct corporations. This it is believed will effectively present a continuance of the monopolistic conditions complained of During the last administration up to Penalty 1812, twenty two civil suits have been brought and forty criminal indictments found under the Sherman law, making in all sixty two prosec- tions. As a result there were fifteen indictments, and eleven of these in Go to the HAWNEE DRUG STORE- Corner Third and Kansas Ave. JAMES WHITE and J. H. HARRIS Bell Phone 1136. COLORED BRANCH Y. M. G. A. An Appeal for a Home—Read Before the First Presbyterian Church of Lopka, Kansas, by J. M. Wright for the Board of Managers. The acid test of the whitemaids religion is the treatment of the colored man. The Cortical Y. M. A has given splendid support to the colored branch in the past, and on prayer that this uniformly fair treatment may be continued. No one can pate the great good accomplish for the colored man of Lopka through the establishment of this department. the old red burch is now 10 years old. The experimental state has been passed. We have drawn to our support the ministers, the philanthropists, the lawyers, the teachers, the fathers, the boys and girls, so that we hope to benefit the rich the institution You may be surprised to note the ministers included in the list of two supporters of our branch of the Y. M. C. A. There was half hearted interest in the work at first, based upon ignorance of the true purpose of the work; but now, since it has been proven that the branch is a help, no better friends are needed than the ministers, many of whom have served as conductors of our Bible classes and other devotional work. The physicians, the lawyers and the teachers have rendered intelligent and earnest service by assisting in the educational and physical work of the branch. On account of their fitness they have served, not only as instructors, but they have given the boys and young men the advantage for their brain in forceful Christian leadership in the various departments of the branch. Bible classes have been maintained ever since the organization—attendance in 1911, 738. Devotional meetings every Sabbath at which addresses are made upon some helpful subject, attendance in 1911, 1552. Devotional work has been carried on at the city prison and the county jail every Sabbath, also at Fire Station No 9. Occasional visits are made to the county poor farm. Several revival meetings have been held at the department, resulting in over sixty happy conversions to Christ; every convert connecting himself wit a church soon after the revival. In the educational department, classes are conducted two and three times a week in the common branches at commercial course and the study of Spanish language use two nights in the week. Several of the students have taken the International Lavaminations, most of whom have passed and secured certificates for the common branches, elementary and advanced bookkeeping. In a lock of room the physical department has not measured up to the standard of excellence shown in the other department, but in the gymnastics store are conducted classes for boys and girls; but ball teams are or can be a creditable football team has lost of similar team from lawrence and knan City; a shower bath is in operation the year round, and is largely patronized by the members of the branch. In continue this good work, and take at more effort, we need a better building fully equipped for modern association work. In topical there are between five and six thousand coloured people. Of this number there are at least twelve hundred men and boys who may be touched by the act of mutilation in some measure influenced by its work. The lack of industrial opportunity for our young men and women presents a problem at once perplexing and dangerous to the face and to society. The Y. M. C. must meet and con- sult these young people in spite of the closed doors to industrial opport- unity, help and encourage them to fit them in the last and noblest place possible in the body politic. The colored people of Topka deeply appreciate the assistance given this branch by the Central Y. M. C. and then prayer is that in some way God's way their boys and young men may be saved from the civil influ- ences of which there are a great many in this city. Representing the board of manage- ers of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Topeka. I appeal to you as Christian men and women to become more interested in our work. Visit our quarters and verify the report made of the progress and results.

The announcement of the sudden death of John William Holland of 830 Nebraska Avenue, Kansas City, Kan., chronicles the departure of a young life that was destined to have shone as one of the bright stars in the intellectual horizon of this country. The deceased was born in Oskaloosa, Kan., twenty-six years ago, but moved to Port Scott, Kan. while quite small and there received his educational training in the public and high schools. He was a young man of rare attainments, exceptional ability, and a person who made friends with all with whom he came in contact. He entered the Railway Mail Service, as clerk, some five years ago, and by strict attention to business gradually advanced in the service until struck by an attack of acute indigestion which the mortal frame was not able to throw off. He leaves a wife and child, mother, father and a host of relatives to mourn their loss. He was a deserved son, and an affectionate husband, and his religious training seemed a part of his existence. His friends were many as was caused by the great mass of floral offerings placed on and around the casket, conspicuous among them the R. M. C. offering so arranged, as to have a flower representing each year of his life, and the great and beautiful circular roof, by Keystone lodge No. 9 of the Masone Patentity of which he was a member. His sudden demise was quite a shock to his many friends and relatives. The funeral oration was delivered by Rev. J. M. Brown of the A. M. H. church, Fort Scott, Kan. The following eulogy was delivered by Arthur L. Payne of 611 New Jersey Avenue, Kan-as City, Kan., in behalf of the R. M. C. In behalf of the colored railway mail clerk, of Kansas City, Mo, I wish to state, that the family and friends have our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of bereavement. J. W.

I had the honor of being personally associated with him and I wish to say that words are malleable to express the lofty disposition of which our friend and brother was possessed. We, the railway mail clocks, recognize the fact that the inevitable hour of death has robbed us of one of our best members. His death is not only a loss to this organization, family and friends but to his race. The hands of time have caused a vacancy to family and friends which I never be refilled, so let us console ourselves in the words of the poet— "The Boast of heraldry, the Pump of power and all that beauty, and all that Life e'er grave await alike the inevitable hour, the paths of glory lead but to the grave." LIVED A CENTURY Topka State Journal: Thirteen years in boyhood, forty years a slave and fifty years a free man. This is the career of William "Uncle Billy" Lampkins of Tecumseh, who died Tuesday at his home in that village. Lampkins was 10.5 years of age at the time of his death and in all probability was the oldest man in this part of the state or in the west. Lampkins was one of the old type of negroos. His training in Tennessee as a slave for forty years provided him with that admirable southern negro characteristic that is so lacking in the modern colored man of today. Lampkins has been known and respected in and around Tucumshi for more than forty-five years. He was well known among the negroes in Tupoka. He served as an example of the old true blue negro of fifty years ago. Always willing to serve, to assist, to uphold his fellow man and to spread his message of good cheer, Lampkins carried the good word wherever he went. Lampkins was born as a slave in Tennessee in 1809. Think of a man living today who can reteach incidents of this country when the inhabitants were bigging the Atlantic shores and even then they were afraid of being crowded into the sea by invading Indians. In the civil war Lampkins was still serving his master in the southern chinês. Even after his bondage had been released and he was a free man, Lampkins remained in his native country and stood loyal to the men who had wielded the whip over his body. In 1876, moved by the promises of the free state and incited by the PHONE 837. complete stock of Farming Implements carried in the Great Southwest. We Milburn Farm Wagons.
