Mr. Mitchell is modern up to the minute bus. fitness man and we wish him and the community much success in the post office. The appointment of a Negro postmaster these days is a rare thing indeed. It is now up to the citizenry of that place to make the new adventure a success. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., is now en-route to Tokio, Japan, to attend the World's Sunday School Convention, to be held in the land of the Little Yellow Man. Mr. Boyd is a recog- (Continued on Page Twe.) NEGROES AT JUNCTIONCITY. INCORPORATED ENTERPRISE BIG BUSINESS. We visited Junction City a few days ago and must say that the Colored people at that place are progressing. We were agreeably surprised to find a mercantile company organized by the Colored citizens doing a large and successful business. They were chartered May 17th and began the business on June 2nd, 1920. They occupy a building on the main street and the central portion of town, and do business with everyone irrespective of color or nationality. The company is known as the Citizen's Cash Mercantile Company and Incorporated under the laws of the state of Kansas, with $5000 paid in capital. Estimating from the amount of business done up to date, a conservative estimate for the first years business would be $23,000 00. Mr. R. E. Reed is the secretary and manager, Mrs. J. W. Falls, clerk and bookkeeper. They have an auto delivery truck which makes it convenient to reach all parts of the city promptly. Everything is in first-class shape and up to date in all respects. No excuse can be offered by anyone for not trading here. They have a large and extensive trade among Mexicans and white. Mr. Grant A. Bradshaw is president. He is a wide awake young man full of push and energy and while he holds a position at the base hospital, he is able to give part of his time to assist that business. Mr. P. C. Cottery, the Vice President is a first class business man who conducts a barber shop and boarding house in that city. Mr. J. W. Falls is the Treasurer and has a wide reputation as a contractor and builder and is a successful business man. Mr. Reed, the manager is an ex-service man, having seen service overseas with the 370th Inf., and was formerly a Captain in the old 8th Ill. Regt. of National Guards. The Race should be proud of the splendid progress being made by this organization, and it is a splendid example for other cities to follow. The time has come for the American Negro to embark upon the seas commercial enterprise and build great institutions as other races have done. The Negro's efforts in other fields of endeavor are recognized by all the world. Thus far our progress in this line yet remains to be seen. The directors have at present 700 shares of stock which is valued at $1000 per share, nowever this stock is not for sale. The Directors of the company are: Elmer Williams, Jess Perry, Wm. B. Wade, Joe Smith, P. C. Cottry, Wm. Rigley, A. Moore, G. A. Brad, shaw and F. S. Pemberton. It a pleasure to visit the barber shop owned and operated by Cottry and Saunders. It is a modern, first class shop and is doing a good business. Mr Cottry owns a nice restaurant and rooming house at 911 N. Washington Street. He also has a pantatorium in connection with his barber shop. He is a widower and would not be surprised to hear something good from him in the near future, MISS LORRAINE E. WOOSTER, Candidate for State SuperIntenden of Public Instruction. Miss Lorraine E. Wooster, State Superintendent of Public Instruction comes before the voters of the state this year asking for reelection. Her record has been a glowing one since her tenure in office. Proficient in all branches of education from the country district school to the normal and teacher's training work, she has carried on the duties of that office in a most commendable manner. Her reputation as an educator is not confined by any means to the state alone, but over the entire country, where she has visited and inspected schools and methods. Her text books are used by government schools over the United States. Miss Wooster stands on a platform which declares for an education for each and every boy and girl in the land to prepare them for the duties of citizenship. J. In a masterly address at St John A. M. E. church last Sunday evening, on "Education and the necessity of the government encouraging good citizenship through that source," she struck hard blows at the southern tobacco growers who are working children in the tobacco fields thereby making cripples and degenerates. She states that she will take up the matter with the federal government and continue to fight it until it is eradicated. She recalled the friendship which existed between her father and the late E. B. McCabe, formerly State Auditor of Kansas, and how he went about to elect McCabe to office and how appreciative McCabe was to him. Miss Wooster hopes to lead the state ticket. HON. L, J. PETTYJOHN Candidate for Reslection as Secretary of State, who has made a Splendid Record and placed the office on a self-supporting basis. The great state of Kansas and its tax-payers are indeed proud of the efficient and economic way in which the affairs of the office of Secretary of State have been conducted during the four years administration of Hon. L. J. Pettyjohn. As a far-sighted business man and public official, he has conducted that office to the satisfaction and approval of the citizenry in general. L. J. PETTIJOHN Republican Candidate for Secretary of State. Figures from that office show that the cost of operating the auto license department is approximately 5 per cent less on each license issued than for the previous year. After paying the entire expense, 22 cents of each 80 cent fee is being returned, making a net cost of 28 cents for each license. The cost of the previous year was about 33 cents. In this way over $58 000 is to be refunded to each county in the state in proportion to the number of auto vehicles in the county. Shawnee County alone receives a rebate of $1769 by this method. He has also reduced the cost of registering 5 per cent during the past year. The office has collected over $500,000 from the corporations doing business in the state and saves the tax-payers. Mr. Pettyjohn's home is at Duxge City, where he is listed as a heavy tax-payer, he being an extensive wheat grower in that section. He has the full interests of the state at heart and has proven so by the economic way in which he has conduct. Price $1.50 Per Year A STRONG KANSAS CONCERN. BECURITY INSURANCE COMPANY A BLESSING TO THE WORKING MAN AND WOMAN. We are proud to announce to the public that there is an Insurance company in this state that is employing Colored Superintendents and agents to handle their business and make their collections. While other companies sell us insurance, they do not go to the extent of having agents in the transacting of their business in an official capacity as does the Security Insurance Company, of the city of Atchison, Kansas. A home enterprise, consisting of Kansas men and conforming to all the rigid insurance laws of the state of Kansas. While in that city a short time ago, we had the pleasure of calling at the main office of the company where we met the president, Mr. U. B. Sharplees, and in an interview with him we found him proud of the good work done by the many Race agents and the splendid support being given by the Colored people thru out the state. They are branching out in the insurance field and will soon offer some new features to the public along these lines. Their business is increasing by leaps and bounds. In spite of the fact that the company is young they have something over 5000 policies in force. Their policy is a splendid one for the man or woman who wishes protection against sike and accident, which can be secured at a very reasonable rate. They also have a life policy for sums ranging from $10000 up. There is never any trouble collecting insurance in this company if the claim is a just one. The leading ministers and prominent men over the state do not hesitate to endorse the Security Insurance in view of the attitude of the directors toward the race. The Colored man is rapidly reaching the point where he is putting his foot on all concerns which take his money and and do not recognize his ability to the extent of giving him employment in a respectable capacity. There are thousands of young colored men and women being turned out of the colleges of this country yearly, who are qualified and efficient to handled positions in this company and similar mercantile' and business establishments thru out the country. These places must be made in the north as the south is bitterly opposed to such recognition of the Colored man's ability. The officers are so be congratulated on this splendid step in the right direction. Following is the officers and directors of the Security Insurance Company of Atchison, Kansas, which is cognizant of the ability of the Colored and is giving him employment: Mr. U. B. Sharp, President; W. C. Hawk, Vice President; and Eugene A. Howe, Secretary. Directors: H. A. Mendenhall, mayor, Kansas City, Kan., D. R. Anthony, congressman, U. B. Sharpless, Atchison, Gene A. Howe, Editor Globe, Atchison, W. C. Hawk, Dus. Mgr., Atchison Globe, Chas. Linley, Cashier, 1st National Band, Atchison, and Ralph U. Pfouts, Attorney, Atchison. These men are among the finest white men in the great state of Kansas, and men who stand high in financial circles of the community. They are friends of the colored people and now being done by their agents. Below is a list of some of their agents who are succeeding and doing good work for the company: At Topeka, J. J. Holman; Kansas City, Kansas, J. J. Kelley, A. C. Cartwright, J. H. Henry, and H. J. Messley; Leavenworth, A. J Love; Parsons, D. P. Cartwright and P. H. Bowers; Atchison, I. A. Hickla. Secretary Pettyjohn has no enli mies or foes and the splendid show ing made in the primary is a direct indication that he will lead the tick point with pride to his record and feel assured that the colored voters will give him a big vote on Nov. 2.

NOTE FOR GOOD ROADS AMENDMENT NO. 3 LIFT KANSAS OUT OF THE MUD FROM THE EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK nized authority on Sunday School matters and will be heard from in that distant land. He is well qualified as a representative of the American Negro. The Baptist Publishing house is the largest concern of its kind in the world. The many friends of Mr. Geo. Oliver, of Chicago, were glad to see and meet him while on his recent Visit to this city, where he spent several days with his mother and at the same time transacted business. He is employed in the Government Mail Service in Chicago and is making good in that field. Mr. Oliver is carried away with his little son, George Junior, who is now nearing his second year, weighs 35 pounds and is growing rapidly. We had the pleasure of meeting the young man while in that city attending the National Convention last June, and must say he is a dandy younster and we predict for him a bright future. While he was here a family re-union was held at which time, Mr. Geo Oliver, Mr. Ruebgn Thompson, Mr. Geo. Keller, Mrs. Ophelia Keller and Mrs. Eva Edmonson were present, and an enjoyable time was had at the home of his mother, Mrs. Perkins, who was the proud hostess. Mr. Geo. Oliver was always known as a good business man and was always in the forefront in all movements concerning the uplift of the race. We were notified by wire a few days ago of the death of our uncle by marriage, Mr. Jack Thompson, of Greenville, S. C. He was born in Abbeyville county and went to Greenville nearly a half century ago. He was a mechanic and plasterer by trade and worked at this almost up until the time of his death. While he could not read or write, he was gifted with an unusual intelligence. He was an old-line Abraham Lincoln Republican anw was always found loyal to his party. He was very out spoken and a strong defender of the rights of the Colored man at all times and places. He was highly respected and loved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance In 1916 he attended his first National Convention and it was while first time in 25 years. It was indeed a pleasure to meet and hear him express himself on matters of racial importance. He was life long member of the Baptist church, a member of the K. of P. Uniform rank and other organizations. The K. of P. was the Lodge of his choice and he did much to help and promote its cause. He was one of the brainiest citizens in Abbeyville county. During the depredations and crimes of the Ku Klux and Bed rackers of that section after the Civil War, President Grant, thru the Republican Governor, had a State Constabulary formed composed of Colored men who were armed. Uncle Jack was one of the men who aided in making this organization a success and did much to stop this outlwry on the colored people. At the close of the Republican administration, however, which was a result of the underhanded methods of the bitter southerners, these outre agaul invoked upon the rs. remain so up until this day. Uncle Jack had a deep respect for everyone and while he was our uncle only by marriage, we feel the loss for he always had a fatherly interest in our welfare. He is not dead, but sleepeth. We are publishing herewith the last will and testament of Uncle Jack Thompson which was made in July 1916 after our meeting in Chicago: State of South Carolina, SS, County of Greenville.
