WRITER' IN HIS EFFORTS TORIDICULERACE In the Atchison Globe of April 25th, the following article appeared under the caption of "Sport Information." "Here is an item that very properly belongs in the Sport department: Orville Craig, a colored porter in a barber shop at Hutchinson, has been awarded a judgment of $1,000 against C. M. Fyffe, a Hutchinson business man, for the alienation of Mrs Craig's affections. Fyffe, who is white, lost his head over the colored woman and the sensation that followed shook Hutchinson from stem to stern. It is reported he not only lost his head but that his business is about shot. Atchison came near having a sensation of this kind. A colored woman got her hooks into no less than three well known white men. Two of them were married. They became madly infatuated with her and they caused so much talk that the police ordered her out of town. What excitement is stirred up when a colored man insults or mistreats a white woman. Bery properly so, of course, as no man should insult or mistreat any woman. But for every white woman insulted by a negro there are a hundred colored women who have been insulted by white men." --- From the expressioin of the writer I take it that it comes from the 'cub' of the Globe. A brainy writer demands and receives a good salary because he can produce stories which cause the people to think and consider. Amatuers and giddy cubs write sloppy, mushy stuff until the managing editor or owner discovers their inability through the readers it does not take this type of news and story writers long to be looking for a flunky job or a rostabout with a circus. This writer wants to be cute by showing his prejudice. What did the disorderly Colored woman or the insults degraded men and women of either race have to do with this white man of Hutchinson alienating the affection of this Colored man's wife. The jury gave this wronged husband a judgment of one thousand dollars against this imaginative hater of Colored people who hates in day time and love at night. Had this same transaction been between two white men this sport writer would not have been allowed to handle in great sensational head lines (like this JUDGMENT OBTAINED BY A WRONGED HUSBAND IN HUTCHINSON) No this being a poor Colored man, porter in a barber shop and being Colored too were sufficient for this up start writer to cast slurs and dish up tommyrot of the underworld classing highly respected Colored citizen of Hutchinson whom the jury and the court said were such. Yes, writer admitted the white men are the ones who insults Colored women but few Colored men insults white women. This shows that the Colored men are in the majority when it comes to courteous treatment towards women. This writer should tell the readers who the brutes are and not wait for some Colored man who is lynched in the South for some insult pretended to be offered to some white woman when ten to one she was not insulted, if so, by some white man who disguised himself to commit the crime. They always disfigure themselves to look like a Colored man. Then such sport writers as you use big scare head lines BIG BLACK BURLY NEGRO LYNCHED for INSULTING A WHITE WOMAN If you have any brains that can be utilized, come over and we will try and teach how to write docent and sensible sport news. You have disgraced your Atchinson white men who would condescend to associate with Colored women of questionable character or any other kind Now your admission of the same does not sound good to their wives or sweethearts, but birds of feather will flock together, so after all, people are human if they do happen to be of a different nationality. Why did the police order the woman out of town? Why didn't they arrest the white man for disorderly conduct? Poor white men they PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR could not protect themselves from this poor lone desplained Colored woman with the courts, police and fire department. They could not keep from disturbing the peace of these men who tried so hard to pass this Colored woman to get home to their white wives and sweethearts. Where was the mayor or the city manager? Your one man's government must be a failure from the you write about the white men. It will take a regiment to keep two disorderly Colored women from wrecking the white men, of your town. You had better call on the Colored men to protect the city from white immorality. If that Colored woman acted like Lot, she will never disturb Atchinson again for she is a pillar of salt. We would adivase the outside citizens to hold a revival in Atchinson and urge a few white men whom this sport editor talks so disgracefully about Nick Chiles, Editor Topeka Plain dealer and President of Kansas Defense Society.

To the Editor: I am asking for another space in your paper to report the remainder of my first quarterly report of my visits to the churches in the southeastern part of my district. On April 3rd, I visited Dunlap. There I met a wide-awake circle with Mrs. Etta Morris, president and Sister Janie Larey, secretary. We had an excellent program on Sunday afternoon. Sister Lowe is a bright star in every department of the church in helping her husband, the Rev. Lowe who is making good at Dunlap, both spiritually and financially. The Circle gave to our work, $1200. This Circle is small in number but with their noble president, Sister Morris, they did exceedingly well. Sister Morris planned for our coming to this place. On April 6th, we met the Wimberly Circle at Onage City. The pastor Rev. Stevens, who is getting his forces together to do some improvement on the church was with the Circle in their meeting Sister Lula Curry an excellent report of her work. Sister Dollie Garnett is an untiring worker for missions. Always ready to do her bit. Sister F. Turner is a faithful worker who is always looking after the interests of the sick. The collection given me here was the sum of $600. April 10th, I visited the St. James Baptist Circle at Emporia. The Rev. P. C. Morrow, Pastor and Moderator of the C. H. R. District Association preached a soul stirring sermon on Sunday morning, and his two dear little girls accepted Jesus as their Saviour and joined the church. Rev. Morrow has done a great work since he has been in Emporia. He has made quite an improvement on the church. They have entertained the State Convention once and the District Board and will entertain the S. H. R. District Association in August. He is a minister worthy of the vocation wherein he has been called. Sister W. E. Carter, president of the Circle had arranged a nice program on Sunday afternoon, at which time I spoke of our work. Sister Carrie Davison, vice president of the Women's Convention read an excellent paper on What Great Women of the Bible had done, after which Sister M. Douglass Morrow and others spoke on the subject. Mrs. Murry the Superintendent of the Sunday School is doing all she can to make her Sunday School the best. A collection of $900 was given our work. April 17th, we visited the Strong City Baptist church, the Rev. Lowe, pastor, could not be present but gave me good encouragement to go there. I found his church moving on in every department. The Circle though small meets regularly and carry out their part in every respect. Sister Richard Level, who is appointed to collect missionary money for the district has reported $500 and will bring in the balance of her report at the Association. Be on your watch committees of other churches as she will surprise you. Sister Lew-president of the Circle has promised to do all she can to meet the requirements of the convention. She is also appointed to help raise our Personal Effort money. Miss Mamle Level, the daughter of the late, Mrs. Celle Level, is one well known in our district. She is always ready to do her part in the Circle, also in the Convention. We are looking forward for great things from Miss Level. Mrs. Pennington is Supervisor of the Children's Band, has a good one and the children can name all the books in the Bible. This is remarkable. They gave $1001 to our work. April 24th, we visited Clay Center Baptist church of which Rev. R. Cox is pastor. Though he could not be present, he is always ready to encourage a missionary who goes to his field of labor. Sister Hattis Rector, Sister Abby Jones and Sister Baker are doing all they can for our work. We are expecting a good report from Mrs. W. M. Lytle at the Association $235 was donated to our work. Total raised during the three months traveling was $77 35. On May 3rd, the 3rd Quarterly Board of the S. H. R.

Mrs N H Newton received word last week of the death of Mrs Gbo. Evans in St Joseph, Mo, on April 20th She lived in Chanute until five years ago when they moved to St Joseph The remains were shipped to Kansas City Kansas for burial April 23 A host of friends in Chanute mourn her loss The death of Mrs Roberts the owner of the Roberts flats on S Second street, is a great loss to the entire race. She was a Christian woman and well thought of by all who knew her. The Rev. S S Jones preached a timely sermon to the Odd Fellows last Sunday. The boast was made that the Odd Fellows had so much money. The question was asked, 'Where is the money deposited and what are they doing with the money?' We all know that the Negro fraternals are the strongest in many of the white banks. We further know that this money is only used for the members when one dies or is sick Mr Lee has returned from Chicago where he went to look over the situation The Negro schools here are being maintained by popular subscribers. The Negro lodges should quit the boasting about their financial strength until they use this money to create positions for our girls and boys. Piling up money in the white banks is not a credible showing. The church hounds are preparing for a big convention. The pastors are making the Church hounds get them automobiles. The band concert here last week was a glorious success. This speaks well for local talent. The Randle's Studio has opened in the Roberts building. A very creditable opening The big state convention of the U. N. I. A. open here about the 16 18th of June. A voteless people is an oppressed people. Nothing will get it like the ballot. Let us all raise hell with the American white man until every Negro woman and man has the ballot. Money, property, education and patriotism has failed to give us the ballot. It is the ignorant Negro who builds so many churches, buys the auto for the pastor and gets him several suits each year. The intelligent Negroes stands for an intelligent ministry, few churches and pure Christianity without the trimmings. Success alone on the part of the Negro is enough to stimulate race prejudice among the southern crackers. The school board here has made pumps out of some of our leading men. They have made them tell everything they knew and some things they did not know. This is the price of cheap leadership. Prof Dortram was in town last week circulating literature for his Summer Normal at Bookertee. The losing of the Carter hall by allowing it to pass into the hands of a Jew, was a sad mistake on the part of those who had it in hand. The Ghost of Alfonsa Williams will not down. Much comment is being had by the scathing remarks Judge Nelson gave the trial jury The white-women of this city sent in a petition to the President against the appointment of a Negro for the position of Registrar of the Treasury. Just tools in the hands of the designing politician The death of J. W Adams, has removed from our midst one of the leading merchants of the race Who ordered the schools closed? The Negro schools here have gotten to be "horse play" The Negro teachers here are an army of unregenerated asses or there is a conspiracy to throttle the schools The very nature of the contract given the teachers is insulting and invite disregard. The "big stick" of the A. M F. church, came back to town last week. Nothing new, same old slime Fooling Negroes as to their importance in the church world. This is an open season for the Negro lodges to parade, preach and have a general fusillade of cheap oratory. The whites have their money to build up their business institutions for their children. The Negroes are satisfied with the grips, passwords, buttons and pretty colored badges. Whether to continue school or feed 48 preachers is the question with the Negroes at this place. Less churches better schools, less preacher and better teachers, less denominational taxation and a greater racial solidarity. There is a general conspiracy thus out the south to cripple the Negro school's. The time is here, whether we are to turn our energy to the education of our children, or maintain an army of weak churches, ignorant ministry, multitude of church meetings, and a damnable denominational helpse that has for the last 50 years been shoved down derogr 56 years debauched debased, degraded, demoralized and degenerated the Negro race When the Negroes of Oklahoma allowed the witteman to be guardian for his children, then he opened the flood gate for the worst prostitution known in this country Harding's fossilized crumbs thrown out in his inaugural address to the American Negro has not the proper taste. We are about tired of being "four-corded" every four years. The appointment of a few Negroes to positions at Washington, cannot, and will not satisfy the many millions who are suffering from southern bar barism. We want una luttered citizenship. We have worked, fought and bleed for it and we will not stop until we get it or be ordered off the train station. That's it. The big Negro is still using the white or alien doctors. Several of our leading Negroes who have had an affinity for the white doctors have reported to their fathers. Nothing is more foolish than to see the Negroes who we look upon as leaders, forever harging around the whites for their cheap smiles. Each day confines the thinking Negro, that "mating day" is near Whether we must go to Africa, America or Mexico, time will tell But one thing sure. We will have to go or be driven farther down the ladder of civilization. The curing of the sick man by the Rev Joseph Kissintiner at the Prison station on last Tuesday, is the talk of the town. Rev Kissintiner placed his hands on the sick man and praised for thirty minutes. The sick man was better and got up and walker. This is a matter of public record and many were there why will bear testimony as the fact. Rev, O. W. Winkfield, of Tullahassee, was in the city Friday. He has the only up-to-date institutional church in the state. The Presbyterian are doing a great work in this neck of the woods. At the rate the American Negro are growing in disfavor in this country, it will be only a short time before we will be driven out. Too much progress on the part of the Negro in this country means his undoing. For the world white supremacy 's being seriously contested by other dark races. Thus our progress is a threat to his assumed superiority. Public baptizing is viciously vulgar. It is the mainstay of the lowbrowed preacher, who caters to the ignorant element of his congregation to bolster up a declining reputation and grab a few dollars from the ignorant wash women or the weak minded common laborer.

Mrs. Henry Hawkins, winning first, Mrs. S. Jones second and Mrs. Gussis Green, third. A total of $529.69 was raised. Much praise is due Mrs. Jones, as she is an elderly lady and raised the sum of $124.24. The people of Chickasha should learn to patronize the race man in business. We all should practice what we preach Members of the Senior class visited the school in Oklahoma City last Friday. As usual some found fault while others enjoyed the trip. The N.A.C.P seems to be having success with their drive. Most of our people were kicking because we had no Chickasha news in the Plain dealer, but yet they never make any effort to get us the news. Mrs. Green who has been confined to her home on account of illness was seen at church on Sunday. Why not ask the city for side walks down in our part of the city. It would be given if only asked for.
