Not the Propellor Club is not fighting any set of preachers They feel that the duty of the preachers is Christian work and not to butt into every local movement and destroy it by their denominational selfishness The Democrats are determined to 'southernize' Oklahoma by cutting Negro schools and denying the Negro the right to vote. The assassination of Jake Hamon carries the ear marks of political intrigue. When we can put Christianity and race solidarity above our denominational creeds, then we will settle the race question.

Two Negro men were shot in their homes Sunday night by some one, we know not who The men rallied, however, and drove the invaders from the scene Tinker Rutton who resides a few miles from town, was made to leave his wife in the hands of a bunch of masked men who had invaded his home in the dead of night. He was so seized his gun taken away from THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM The Kansas Industrial Institute Hospital for which the State has appropriated $10,000.00 for construction., Work will begin at once. Those who have pledged will kindly co-operate with us in making this hospital the most helpful institution in the State of Kansas. him, and he who carried out by main force. Tinker finally got away from the culprits and has not been seen since. It is that he went to Oklahoma City. Sunday evening, the 6th, a bunch of younsters near Sam's school house were out strolling and a rabbit ran across their path, one of the bunch took a shot at it, the ball is alleged to have lodged in the residence of Lem Sheppard, (white) a quarter of a mile away from that spot. A bunch of white citizens went there to find out who did the shooting. After making demands, the answer was not satisfactory and one boy in the crowd was searched, the other refusing to be searched by the enraged citizens. The girls in the party were ordered by the boys to leave the scene and the boy who refused to be searched was being held by the crowd, awaiting the arrival of the officers and in a dispute he told them that if they were going to make him tell who did the shooting, they had better get at it. Some one in the crowd made a break for their gun and the boy beat them to it. It is said right then the running took place as the boy only fired six shots and the field was clear. The boy made his 'get away.' The other parties were brought to town and made bound The new officers have a fine opportunity to repay the Negro for his liberal support. There is no question about it "he put it in straight." It seems strange to me that any Negro would attempt to bring on a race clash at this critical moment when the odds are so overwhelming against him. Better think before shooting. The white man who would take the advantage, knowing as he does that all power is in his hands, both from a military standpoint and in legal favor, undoubtedly is not mindful of the law of reaction. I can only say to the Negroes of Seminole county, be not the aggressors. Be careful as to what neighborhood you move your family into. There are plenty of lands on which you can live in peace. Rev.

As a rule you can always tell where the average Negro gets the worst treatment and the poorest service. There is where he hangs out and spends his money. The Negro merchant who never does anything for the community gets his trade and the white man that whales him over the head gets the remainder of it. It is hard to teach him where to head in, but he will learn some div. The membership of the Independent Industrial League now extends into Canada reports Secretary Rickman. The slogan, "On to Mexico" seems to have magic fire Mr. Editor, let the papers come. The people were disappointed on Saturday. The cotton crop is about all in Just plant something to live on this year. Remember good people, that only half of the side walk belongs to you like the other fellow a chance to get by.
