(By B. P Vandervall) Lot Carey Foreign Missionary Convention held its annual session at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Portsmouth Virginia, Rev. C. C. Sommerville, D. D., LL. D., Pastor, August 31 to September 3, 1920, inclusive. Under bright skies and balmy weather over one thousand delegates from Virginia North Carolina, Washington, D. C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan and other States gathered in the Ebenezer Baptist Church, at the joint session of the Convention and its Woman's Auxiliary to listen to the words of welcome extended to them by the local friends THE WELCOME. On behalf of the city, words of welcome by the Hon. W. B. Bates, City Manager, On behalf of the Church, by the Pastor, Rev. C. C. Sommerville. On behalf of the Baptist of Tidewater, by Rev. O. C. Jones. The response, by Rev. J. L. Prim, D. D., Pastor of the Third Baptist Church, Georgetown, D. C., a member of the Faculty or Howard University, was a masterpiece of oratory and well received by the convention. PRESIDENT BROWN'S ADDRESS Rev, C. S. Brown, President of the Convention, of Winston, N. C., a massive built specimen of humanity, to many he reminds you of the late Speaker Thomas B. Reade, called Vice-President, Dr. O. S. Simms, of Pittsburgh, Penn, to the chair and delivered his annual address. Among the gems spoken by him, was that the Baptist should lead in the world's redemption, that the teachings of the Gospel would be the only thing to settle the world's great problems. The appointment of the usual committees, introduction of visitors concluded the morning session of the convention. SPLENDID REPORTS The afternoon session was taken up with reports. The report of the Corresponding Secretary, Rev. A. A. Graham, D. D., of Phoebe, Va, was first heard. He gave the receipts and disbursements since last session, also a review of the work on this side and the various mission fields, for better information of the delegates assembled. He had his report printed in pamphlet and distributed 1,000 of them to the delegates. His report was referred to the Executive Board, of which Rev W. T. Johnson, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Richmond, Va. is chairman. SECRETARY ON FULL TIME. The Board considered the report in executive session and unanimously recommended that on account of the increase in the work that the Corresponding Secretary be employed to give all his time to the work, to visit the various mission fields and get first-hand information of the work. He is to be allowed a salary of $2,500 and traveling expenses. Rev. A, A. Graham reported that we had 12 Missionaries in Liberia, S in South Africa, S in Haiti and 2 in South America THE LOT CAREY HERALD The report of the Lot Carey Herald by the Editor, Rev. W. H. Stokes D. D. Ph. D., stating that although the cost of newspaper and printing the same had increased three-fold since our last meeting, still he had been able to keep The Herald alive and give valuable information of the work during the year to the Church-societies and individuals connected with the convention and to many churches and associations not represented in the work, but who are with us this year for the first time. THE ANNUAL SERMON. At the evening session, after the praise service the Press dept announced the next number was the annual sermon by Rey B. F. McWilliams, D. D., of Toledo, Ohio. Surrounded by many old schoolmates from Union and many students that he had instructed at Union University and the Academy in pidewater of this State, many asked the question, would he make, good, as he started off in old Ebenezer Baptist which was thronged to the doors as mifoy outside as inside, and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of our Lord and Master, with such simplicity, and with such ease. When he came to the el max in his sermon, he quoted the Apostle Paul, saying, "Woe, unto me if I preach not this Gospel." A missionary offering of over $200 followed. PENNSYLVANIA'S BIG EFFORT On Thursday morning a brief survey of our convention and its work was given by Dr. O. S. Sinjms, of the Rodman Street Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Penn. Through the effort of Dr. Sinjms the delegation from Western Pennsylvania has been increased and the contribution brought up to this convention was three times as large as last year's contribution. He has been ably assisted in the work by Revs. J. H. Robinson, J. H. Boone, R. D. Epps, S. H. Thompson, W. B. Crawford, M. E. Simmons, A. J. Payne, J. J. Bolling, L. D. Clements, J. M. ozone and E. D. Spencer. MINISTERS TO SACRIFICE One of the Churches in Western Pennsylvania was given the banner or raising more money per capita, following Dr. A. Muns came that young intellectual grunt from Pittsburgh, Rev J. C. Austin, D. D., who urged his fellow ministers to lead the people and they would follow, by obeying the Bible themselves, in giving one-tenth of their earnings to the Master's Class and success would follow. The Key Service of the convention was by Rev. F. W. Williams, Pastor of the First Calvary Baptist Church, of Norfolk, Va. Lo urged the brethren to preach Christ, lift Ham up and tie on the job; stop winning around the church. Mr. Wright with 80 members and now has 1,200, built a new church, paid for it and is now doing a great work in the State, also buying the salary of one Missionary in the foreign fields. THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY The night session was held in the Jon Baptist Church, the venerable (Continued On Fourth Page) SHELFHEEDS AND DM GUITERS OF RETHLEHEM HOLD SESSION HERE The Improved Order of Good Shepherds and Daughters of Bettleham, are in session here this week under the leadership of Grand Shepherd J. Thomas Hewin, Esq., The reports showed a great success during the last year. Public meetings have been held at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist church and the delegates made welcome. REV. JOHN F. THOJAS PASSES AWAY. Rev. John F. Thomas, veteran pastor of Ehneser Baptist church, Zath and Dearborn streets, widely known is an advocate of the Baptist doctrine and Race Societty, a highly respected citizen, has fallen by the way side and was buried from the Ehneser Baptist Church Monday, August 16th. As early as 7 o'clock A. M. hundreds of men, women and children had found their way from the country districts as well as the city prop. A. New York, Tennessee, California, Arkansas, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico had gathered at the church where they waited the arrival of the funeral cortege. At 9:30 just 20 minutes before the funeral exercises were to be held, there was got a seat left in the church and the streets for blocks around were crowded with human beats who remained from 9:30 to 3 P. M. to get a last look at the man who had rendered such valuable service to his race and to his country. Ted, C. H. Clark of Nashville, Tenn., delivered the funeral oration. Other state and national officers took and active part. At the close of the exercises his body was taken by the miners. Masondes and Grand Army to its last resting place in Lincoln Cemetery. Thus Chicago, Illinois, and the Country has been deprived of one of their lost citizens. AN APPRECIATION The Fourth Baptist Church and its pastor the Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., will extend to their many friends who accompanied them to Bucknell Beach, Thursday, August 31st, 1920, their showreels for the part play they in making the effort a success and for their cooperation in maintaining such excellent order.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Five Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 You cannot be happy and miserable at the same time. Girls without manners are worse than boys without politeness. Some people quarrel so much until their mouths become twisted. ```markdown ``` Some people talk all the time. If they are alone, they talk to themselves. White folks teach colored folks bad traits and then abuse them for possessing them. ```markdown ``` An open mouth and a talking tongue drain the mind of its wisdom and common sense. Many a child is whipped for imitating the ways of one or the other of its parents. It is usually the one that is being imitated that does the whipping. The Richmond Planet cynically observes: Whenever we see a man smiling broadly, we know that he has either just been married or he has just got to a divorce. These are two happenings that produce exactly the same result. Now we understand why Editor Mitchell has maintained the estate of bachelorhood for so many years. (N Y. Age.) We pause to remark that some of these distinguished married men have a peculiar way of approving our utterances upon this subject. DR. GRAHAM IN THE LIMELIGHT The very able Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham has reached the "parting of the ways" with the Philadelphia, Pa. Christian Review. This is all the more remarkable in that he was one of the founders of that influential publication, which has done so much for Baptist principles and doctrine in the State of Pennsylvania. But it seems as though hostile interests to the great cause that he is championing have secured financial and editorial control of the Review and Dr. Graham and his friends have been ferced to the necessity of launching up on the troubled sea of journalism another journal, known as the Baptist Defender. It claims to be the organ of the Virginia, State Baptist Convention, The Eastern Baptist Association, The Allegheny General Convention, the Pennsylvania State B. Y. P. U., and the Sunday School Convention with the very able Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham as Editor in Chief. He has associated with him thirty other editors. Certainly, he has enough organizations behind this expensive publication to guarantee its success without any advertising matter or paid subscribers. Tev. Dr. Graham charges that there are today preachers, who put the world and their personal interests and their selfishness far above the cause of Christ. He charges that there is a man, who because he fails to be elected to a certain office attempts to break up the Kingdom of God and tear down the Church. It is becoming daily manifested that our Baptist Denomination is too loosely constructed and the very freedom of action and liberty of speech are becoming a source of weak ness that is destroying the organization itself. It is to be regretted that these Baptist leaders cannot agree among themselves and that the work of these leaders from the Southland should suffer as a result of their own bickerings. Rev, Dr. W. F. Graham is one of the oldest leaders and organizers in this country. He has made the Baptist work in this State what it is and it is his interest in the Baptists of this State that is causing much of the criticism to which he is being subjected. We hope that the Baptist leaders in Pennsylvania will get together and stop this unseemly struggle. Dr. Graham is a power in any field of endeavor and his determination to support Rev. S. J. Jones, the President in Pennsylvania will result in an old time revival in the State of his adoption. Unity of action is needed now and we hope that the surging tide of strife and discontent will be followed by a calm that will betoken peace in the field of the Baptists in the great State of their action. THAT REMARKABLE MARCUS GARVEY. In New York City, during the past month has been staged one of the most remarkable gatherings of Negroes ever witnessed in this country. The idea inaugurated at Paris by Dr W. E. B. Du Bois and which resulted in practical failure due to the adverse attitude towards it by this Government and those of Great Britain and other Allied Powers has had a practical demonstration in this great metropolis, where Marcus Garvey, a remarkable leader and a masterly organizer has held this great body of black men together for the purpose of discussing the relationship of the people of color throughout the civilized world. It is perhaps too early to appreciate the full significance of this remarkable movement. Mr. Garvey and his associates have succeeded in collecting many thousands of dollars in support of the Black Star Line Steamship Company, which steamship is said to be doing a profitable business upon the high seas. It is proposed to establish a regular line of steamers between this country and Africa. We have for several years noted the progress of this movement and that it should have existed for this length of time, free from any tangible scandal has been all the more remarkable. We must admit we do not admire the high-sounding titles given to its officers and the gorgeous display being made in publie. This does not look like business. It is unfortunate that men like Mr. Marcus Garvey of the practical type and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois of the highly educated class can not find a common ground upon which they can poo their interests and agree for the general good. Dr. Du Bois can write books and he can theorize and picture to us higher ideals to be reached by the higher classes amongst us, but he cannot deal with commercialism, the realization of common ideals, which form the basis of the commercial life of all great people. Still, he has his place and today stands first and foremost among the race leaders in this country. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois could not control the masses of our people as President Marcus Garvey is doing and President Marcus Garvey could not get a hearing among the great nations of the world as Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois has done. Mr. Garvey's schemes are, to a great extent visionary, leading colored people to expect that which can never be realized. Africa, the home of the Black Man has already been parcelled out amongst the Great Powers. Its final redemption and independence must come from within and not from without. Granting that this is a fact, what need is there for violently or vigorously opposing Marcus Garvey and his movement, unless it can be established that he is a shrewd, designing usurper and deceiver, a man, who willfully perverts facts and who is conducting a campaign of deception. This unfavorable view cannot be sustained as long as the Black Star line flies the flag of that great organization and it meets its financial obligations and does a commercial business on a par with its white rivals. There is no denial but what Marcus Garvey had a representative gathering of the black races of the world, that he conducted a meeting extending over a period of nearly one month and that harmony was maintained amongst his followers to the end. Cain it is that time will tell, to what extent this movement will materialize to the extent of relieving the present unsatisfactory condition of the Negroes of the World. We are of the opinion that the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA this, from which we suffer cannot be curred or benefited to any extent notice able in this country and to that end our own efforts to better our condition should continuo, but we do not see the need of antagonizing the effect to better the condition of the Negroes of Africa and other countries. We understand that this meeting embraced black representatives from Africa, South America, West India Islands and even China and Japan. Just why we should oppose these people here is not clear to us. We can maintain our own organization intact. For our part, we should stand up on our rights as American citizens, "to the man born." We do not claim Africa as our home and we do not expect to return to that country. We are not here as foreigners. Those of us, who do claim it as our home and who regard themselves as foreigners can look with favor upon and support this great movement. The emancipation of the Negroes of the world will help rather than injure us, even though we may not be directly interested. Certain it is that the elevation of the black people in this or in any other country will react in a favorable consideration of the black people in this country, even though they may not be directly concerned in this movement. We do not envy Marcus Garvey's success, even though we may look with disfavor and criticise the methods by which it may be brought about. He has surrounded himself with men of influence, many of whom may be indiscreet and not altogether persecuted and inspired by the great motives and principles that inspire him. We noted though with some interest his disinclination to permit the use of the name of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois as a candidate for the position of Provisional President of Africa, even in a meeting where Dr. Du Bois had no more sure of an election than a black man has of being elected President of the United States. When a President of Africa is elected, under the rule of self determination, the Africans in Africa must elect him and so far as this phase of the situation is concerned, it may well be considered in the nature of a joke. If President Marcus Garvey will retain his judicial equilibrium and not be swept off his feet by his tree-mendous success, it may be that he is at the beginning of a truly great movement which will prove to be of lasting benefit to Africa and the Africans both at home and abroad. Selah. --- GOV. COX'S PREDICAMENT Governor James M. Cox, has succeeded in placing himself in a most embarrassing position relative to the amount being raised for the Republican campaign. He charged that a "slush fund" of fifteen million dollars was being raised to purchase the presidency and when pressed for definite information cited an official bulletin sent out by the Republican management in which the amount on quotas assigned to various localities is alleged to total eight million dollars. On his own motion, he multiplied this amount by two and contented himself with charging that the Republicans were out to raise fifteen millions of dollars for improper purposes. He is attempting to prove this by the Republican campaign managers themselves and inasmuch as he has failed to do this, his plight before the country is now most embarrassing. We have not been able to see that the amount is excessive. The amount needed for each congressional district would exceed ten thousand dollars for legitimate expenses. Counting four hundred and thirty-five districts, this would amount to only $4,350,000. In some districts the expense would be more than others. The distinguished Ohioan has decided to indulge in a sensational campaign. He wishes to hear the "boys" yell, but he will not succeed in convincing the conservative elements, who care more for the permanent welfare of the country than they do to see an ordinary politician elevated to a seat in the White House --- MR. PACE'S CANDIDACY. The unexpected has happened. Treasurer James B. Pace, Jr., announces that he will be a candidate to succeed himself in the general election. This is all right, but what about his declaration that he will rest his candidacy upon the votes of the people of Richmond and will not be subject to the Democratic Primary, which has been called for the purpose of eliminating candidates? of a remarkably large vote is a candidate. He has many friends among all classes, both white and colored. Mr. H. L. Hulce, the very able city Collector is also ready to serve the people. His conduct of his office has won for him unstinted praise from all classes. He has many friends among the colored people, who desire an opportunity to express their apreciation of him. Then there is Mr. James B. Pace, Jr., the "son of his father," which father was deservedly popular among the colored people. Can this appreciation for the father be transferred to the son in this instance? This is the question. Young Mr. Pace has many traits of the distinguished gentleman, whom he has succeeded. All three of these gentlemen are soor onoughgoing democrats. There is not a shadow of suspicion of any other leanings. Citizens, who vote for any one of them will be voting for Democrats. So far as colored people are concerned, let us hope that there will be no organized movement. Let colored citizens vote for the one or the other on account of personal preference and with the view that the one selected will render the best service to this community. We have long ago advocated that colored men show their appreciation of white men by casting complimentary votes for them at the polls. Now is the time to do this. Two cr three candidates will run in November. If the primary is held there will be on by two in the race. It is for the colored man as an individual and not as an organized body to decide. --- GOV COX'S CHARGES. The sensational charge made by Governor James M. Cox against the Republican managers relative to the alleged attempt to buy the presidency by the raising of a "slush fund" of fifteen millions of dollars threatens to prove a vettable boomerang in this campaign. The evidence submitted by him consists of an official bulletin sent out by a sub-committee of the National Republican Committee and gives only a statement of the quota of money the principle cities or rather the Republican population of the respective cities are expected to raise. The amount selected is about eight million dollars and Governor Cox on his own motion increases the amount to fifteen million dollars. It is difficult to understand how a gentleman of his high standing could stoop to the level of the average ward politician in order to reach such a conclusion. On a basis of ten thousand dollars which is a reasonable amount for the legitimate expense of five hundred congressional districts, not including the senatorial allotments the total amount would be five million dollars. But the distinguished Ohioan ignores the fact that criticisms have been made, not so much as to the amount of money raised as it has been relative to the source from which it came. If the Republican omanagers are raising this money by popular subscription it is the work of the people and not the effort of vested interests. In the meantime, the Democratic managers have the collection basket going the rounds with no limit as to the amount to be contributed, while the Republicans have limited the amount to be subscribed or paid by one individual to 1 thousand dollars. The Democratic collection plate is being passed almost un-noticed while the jingle of the coin in the Republican basket has caused the Democrat to nominee for the presidency to be frantic. So far as we have been able to observe the National Democratic Convention at San Francisco nominated a politician while the National Republican Convention at Chicago named a statesman. It will be in the nature of a calamity should the latter fail to be elected.

West street at the foot of Twelfth street was a lively battleground for more than an hour yesterday, when white and Negro longshoremen to the number of 1,000 engaged in a fight to settle the question of which color of labor should prevail along that special waterfront. Work out of doors all day handling and stowing cargo would seem to give men a certain immunity or in any event resistance against serious damages from a free for all fight. Hundreds of men were kicked, cuffed, beaten and trampled upon in the mute, but only one, Frank Brown a Negro 52 years old, had to go to a hospital. He is in St. Vincent's Hospital and it is believed his skull is fractured. The fight had its genesis in the importation from the South by the Southern Pacific Steamship Company of gangs of Negro strikebreakers during the recent longshore strike. The Negroes when the strike cooled down, were kept at work by the company, and 500 of them were on Pier 50, noisting cargo into the hull of the steamship El Captain yesterday, when an equal number of white laborers reported there for work. It had been supposed that by drawing a color line somewhere in the waist of the vessel and keeping the white men at work forward and the Negroes aft the loading would go for ward without friction and the day end tranquilly. But this plan was not to work out. The white men, coming to work, saw the Negroes. Some one said some thing out of his turn and the fight was on. It kept to the pier for a few minutes, but the elbow room is restricted there. Five minutes later it extended all over that section of West street. It lasted with unabated vivacity for an hour and fifteen minutes be fore police reserves from four stations brought it under control, and within that time traffic deserted the street and every window from which a good view was available was jammed with as many watchers as it would hold. When the battle ended scores of men lay about hurt and grooming, but Brown—who was insensible and could not protest—was the only one who did not refuse hospital aid. Charles Budka, who was in the gang which was around him when he went down was arrested and charged with as sault. After the fight the stemship company relieved the Negroes from duty and presently notice was posted setting forth that only white men would work on Pier 50 after this.

Hayden of Remarkable Cure—Doctors Had Given Her Up—A Few Bottles Accomplish Marvelous Results. Dear Sir.—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dorsical trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another; her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued For full particulars, send or call L. J. HAYDEN, 220 WEST BROAD send or call on ST BROAD STREET, RICHMOND, VIEGINIA. Established 1891 2202-4 MADISON AVENUE R Centro Cross, Va. L. J. Haydon, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir,—This is to certify that I have surfaced with cancer on the face for 17 years, and have tried hundreds of remedies, without any relief whatever. Finally I heard of L. J. Haydon's Cancer Plaster and only tried one plaster, and can safely say that I am perfectly cured of cancer which covered the right side of my face, including the ear. Respectfully JOHN R.

Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot and after I had tak on three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him and they have also gotten cur ed. My daughter was also cured of rheumatism and indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I re commend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully, J. D. TAYLOR, 2419 P. Grace Street, Richmond, Va. L. J. Hayden: I wish to add to your testimonial that your medicine has cured me of lumbago with the use of six bottles. I have suffered for three years and my family doctor told me that he could not do me any good. I began taking your medicine November 15, 1903 and I have not lost a day's work since with lumbago. I can't praise your medicine too highly. Yours truly, W. H. MILLER, Highland Park, Richmond, Va FOUR Rev J. M, Armstead, Pastor. This session was under auspices of the Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. J. H.

BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone, Va., September 8.—Prot. W. G. Pearson, Supreme Grand Sergeant of the Royal Knights of King David, who was scheduled to speak at Jackson's hall on Monday night of this week for some reason not known to the promoters of the entertainment at this writing made to come. The hall was rised to its capacity, and although the expected speaker and not come, an able energy of the town spun away time the appointed speaker's place, and perhaps told his hearers of more help and beneficial things than would have been told them had the real speaker for the evening come. This clergyman was Rev. I. W. Ashburn pastor of Smith Baptist church. He spoke to the people on the importance of having some resource from which to draw. He pointed out the different kinds of resources, and directed his hearers as to the best kind to be in possession of. After the speaking, free refreshments were served by the Lady Knights, which were very much enjoyed. The Odd Fellow Band Committee also had some refreshments for sale, which they disposed of without any trouble. The Blackstone White Sox played the Victoria Baseball team at Victoria Monday. The team went, through the country by motor truck, joined by other citizens of the town in cars. The game resulted in a score of 13 to 3 in favor of the White Sox. Thus we can see that the boys are determined to square themselves up after having been so badly defeated by the Petersburg boys some time ago. All of our boys played so well that it would hardly be fair to make any special mention of any particular player. As stated at the time of the wallop by Petersburg, that Mgr. Pettus would put forth every effort to make this team come upto standard, he seems to have been as true as his word, for the boys since that time have gotten into fine shape and feel that they can creditably tackle any amateur team. Mrs. Ardra Gee, and sister of Balti more, who have been visiting their uncle, Mr. R. B. Jones on Route 2, have returned to their home. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Harris and Mrs. Edward George, of Nottoway and Mrs. Butts, of Norfolk, were guests at dinner in the home of Mrs. S. J. Fitzgerald one day last week.

CHICAGO BOMBERS ATTENTION! CHICAGO BOMBERS ATTENTION! BRIEF item from Tuscaloosa, Alabama is to this effect: "J. W. Wynn, a wealthy Negro citizen of Greensboro, has purchased a lot, 100x200 feet, on Twenty-third Avenue and Eighth Street. On this lot he proposes to build half a dozen stores, so arranged that the top floors may be used as a hotel for Negroes. The project calls for an expenditure of $60,000." Greensboro is in the heart of the black belt of Alabama, and that is in the heart of the South, where the racial line is sharply drawn. In this heart of the South the Negro enjoys the fullest opportunity for independence. Tuscaloosa is a former capital of Alabama and reflects every sentiment of ante-bellum aristocracy. Yet Tuscaloosa is glad to have this prosperous Negro give evidence of his prosperity and take his part in developing that city. Neither is there anything remarkable about this. In every Southern city there are well-to-do Negroes whose worldly success is not only no offense, but a positive pleasure and source of pride to their white friends and neighbors. Only One Thing Now Lacking-Money "I have doctored nine years for stomach and liver trouble and spent thousands of dollars, but instead of becoming cured of these ailments, my blasting and pains and attacks became worse. I was persuaded a year ago to take Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and have never suffered since taking the first dose; I wish I had the money back I spent for other medicine." I spent for other medicine." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For sale by all druggists Ten Girls Wanted Apply at T. & E. LAUNDRY 926 W.
