WHITE MOTHER DEFENDS HER COLORED OFFSPRINGS IN FACE OF HER WHITE FAMILY AND COURT Well! well! well!—Please take your time and read this article which is copied from the Dally Journal of the proceedings of a court case in Shawnee, County, Kansas, of March 1, 1922. --- Melvin and James Nolting, the negro sons of Mrs. Hattie Nolting, a white woman, were decreed to be the owners each of an undivided one-fourth interest in the estate of James Holt, Negro, by a jury in Judge Geo. Whitcomb's division of the district court late Wednesday afternoon. The two youths brought suit, thru their mother, against Thomas Holt, the son of James Holt by his negro wife, and Myrtle Smith, Dessie Porter and Lucretia Barber, granddaughters of James Holt. The youths claimed that James Holt, who died in 1919, was their father and that they were entitled to a share of his property. On the witness stand Mrs Nolting claimed the two negro boys as her sons and testified that she had been intimate with James Holt, upon whose farm in the northeastern corner of Shawnee county she worked for several years and up until the time of his death. Her husband lived at home at that time, and is still living, altho an invalid, she said. She declared that no one knew of her relations with the negro until the two babies were born. Photographs of Mr. and Miss Nolting and their seven children and of the two negro boys were introduced in evidence to prove to the jury that the youngest sons were of a different race ```markdown ``` Now can you beat it? For Heaven sakes what is to become of the American white people who boast of their great superiority over their half brothers and sisters of the Colored race of America and those who have a little mixed blood and those who have none at all, who have lived side by side with them for the past two centuries and have done as much or more to make America what it is today, than their white kinship. Yet they abuse their blood kin, deny them the right of citizenship, rob, burn, lynch and destroy the virtues of their women at every turn of the road and if a black man is ever suspicioned, he is destroyed without a trial and sometimes the Colored citizens in his immediate vicinity are driven from home and their property destroyed, yet a white man can do whatever he pleases to to a colored wife or their daughters and if their husbands, fathers or brothers attempt to defend them or their honor, they are run down and lynched for so doing. A court or jury in the South has never been known to convict a white man for criminal assaulting a colored woman. This article is written for our Southern white outlaws who do not know what justice and fair play means for their half brothers and sisters who are as numerous as the hair on a dog's back. Had this happened in the Gates of Hell of these United States, any of the southern states) this colored man would have been lynched and forgotten, his land confiscated and his children driven out of the county. Now comes old Kansas, the home of John Brown, the land of the free and the home of the brave, and gives justice and a fair deal to the children of this old colored farmer, the reputed father of these two colored boys by a white woman. We sympathize with this whitewoman, the mother of these boys for the womanly courage maintained in the face of her white race and the critical public, in defending the rights of her two colored children, while at the same time, living with her white husband and seven of his children, who honor and respect her although she did wrong through adverse circumstances. She and her family had lived on this colored man's farm for years. They rented from him, reared their family partly on this farm. When her white husband became afflicted this colored man helped them when their white neighbors ignored them. So through these trying days, this accident happened. That she was a good woman, is proven by the fact, that she bore seven children by her white husband and after his affliction, she bore the last two by this colored man. When the first boy was born, no kick was made, or no disturbance was had. The second boy came and all continued to go well. These two colored boys were raised right along with their white half brothers and sisters and step-father, also white. This was only fair and right. This is one of the many reasons we have respect for this poor white mother, she stood up for her blood and made her family do do the same. This is the way and manner the Southern white people should have done by their colored relatives instead of having them inter-marrying, not knowing their blood kin, is causing a lot of deformity in the races of today. This good white woman stood up like the women to whom the Saviour said. "Go thy way" after their accusers had sneaked away. We have great respect for her. She did not cry outrage, as many so who are caught in the act in the Southland. She faced the court and jury and told the story and asked that these boys be allowed to share in the estate of their deceased father. The evidence, with photographs of two sets of children, one showed a deep impression of the colored father, so stated in the evidence. The jury was out about five minutes and returned a verdict for this good woman and her two boys. A family group was also produced, showing the mother, husband and seven white children which was taken several years ago, which showed the impression of the white father when he was at himself. This white woman's reputation for honesty and fair dealing could not be questioned. This is the common law of the country and we cannot see why our colored women will not go after the white fathers of their children, and make them take care of their colored offsprings. It is also common thing to hear white men and women say they are against the mixing of the Colored and white Americans, but the white can marry any other nationality in the world from a 'dogoa' to a chimpanzee, just so it is not a Colored American. They can sleep, eat, drink and associate with every foreigner and with all classes, except our American Colored people who are more close related to them, who has done more and will do more for them, than all the foreign element which comes to our shores. So let the American white people play their cards face up on the table like this good white woman. Stop playing the Coloured race under the shades of darkness and come out in the light. De fair We are proud of the verdict. She was entitled to their share of the estate. If this man was the father of these boys. Let our Southern courts and newspapers take pattern after Kumans and deal fair and square to all. Let no human look down on this poor woman for doing her christian duty. It took a heroine to go on the witness stand, display the photographs of her white family and another of her colored children and look her high, christian civilized white race in the face and say though I have done wrong. I have not done any more than millions of you have done and are doing I love my children of both fathers and I shall protect them I am not hiding my wrongs, nor am I begging any one for forgiveness. I trust the Lord and ask him, not man. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1922 MR. AND MRS.

(For the Associated Negro Press) (The following statement, which is copyrighted, was prepared exclusively for the Associated Negro Press by Captain Henry O. Atwood, who has just arrived in the United States direct from Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, where Colonel Charles Young died and is buried. It is a most illuminating story of the great American soldier.) Colonel Charles Young left Monrovia, Liberia, on November 15 for Fernando Po, a Spanish Island in the Gulf of Guinea. On December 27th, a cable received at the Legation in Monrovia stated that Colonel Young was ill in a hospital at Lagos, Nigeria, and I left by steamer the next day for Nigeria. On the evening of January 6, I arrived at Lagos and found Colonel Young unconscious, but beyond hope of recovery, as both he and I realized. The next day he said to me: "Everything's all right; I'm not worrying; I'm satisfied." This was on Saturday; between 9 and 10 on Sunday morning he passed into a state of comma from which he did not revive, dying at 10:26 that night. It will be a satisfaction to those who love Colonel Young to know that, though he was ill and died among strangers, he was given every possible attention and that nothing was left undone in the effort to save him. From Fernando Po he had gone to the Camerons; thence after several stops in Nigeria, to Lagos the capital of Nigeria He was suffering from a slight attack of Pneumonia on his arrival there. He remained four days in bed and then, despite the advice of friends and doctors, insisted on going to Kano, a native town over 700 miles in the interior. He returned from Kano the 22nd of December, so ill that he was unable to walk from the train to a waiting automobile. He was conveyed directly to a hospital and on December 26th, through the good offices of Mr. Murray G. Sawyer, representing the United States Steel Products Company of New York, was taken to the Creek Hospital, a private institution and one of the best, if not the best hospital on the West coast of Africa. Mr. Sawyer was extremely kind doing everything in his power for the comfort of the Colonel. Colonel Young had one of the best rooms in the hospital, and the careful attention of both doctors and nurses, all of whom were more than conscientious in their care of the Colonel, and went out of their way to do even the smallest thing that would add to his comfort. After his death it was one of the Sisters who, rather than one of her subordinates, prepared his body for burial. The officials also, of Nigeria, showed every courtesy and consideration for Colonel Young, both before and after his death. Thanks to the courtesy of Governor Sir High Clifford, of Nigeria, and of the Lt Governor, Colonel Morehouse, Colonel Young was buried with full military honors. All available troops in and around Lagos were designated as escort for the body: members of the Marine Corps acted as pall bearers; and in the absence of the military band, the police band furnished the music. Lt. Governor Morehouse attended the funeral in person. The Governor was represented by his aid de camp The services were conducted at the grave by His Lordship Bishop Jones, Bishop of the Church of England in Nigeria, assisted by a native churchman There being no means of embalming, Colorel Young's body was placed in a cement vault in the Ikoyi Road Cemetery, Lagos, Nigeria, W. C. Africa It was his love for his own people that took Colonel Young to Nigeria and to his death. He was gathering material for a work on the Ancient African Civilizations. In spite of his physical condition he therefore, took the long tedious trip to Kano, a walled town more than a thousand years old with a native population of ninety-three or ninety-four thousand. MR.

He states there has been too much wasted in improvements in that district and the taxpayers are too heavily burdened on account of carelessness in letting contracts and allowing unnecessary improvements. He further states that if elected he will do all in his power to retrench and economize to the extent that the taxpayer's feet may touch the ground again. He notes that the voters are behind him because of the fact that he is a large large taxpayer and can well sympathize with those who are holding the sack.
