Former Head of Sea Soldiers in Report Reveals 3,250 Death Toll, Our Forces Lost 63. "Sadly Lacking in Right and Justice," Deviation Reached by Barnett, Much Still Withheld, Navy Gives Out But Two Paragraphs of Resume of Military Operations. (Special Depatch to The Herald.) Washington, Oct. 13. Publication of fragments of an official report on the activity of the Marine in Hayti, made public by the Navy Department to day, has resulted in bringing the course of the Administration in Hayti and Santo Domingo into startling relief. Only two paragraphs of the report, which was made by Brig.-Gen. Geo. Barnett, formerly commandant of the Marine Corps, are given to the public, but this small revelation of what it contains carries the startling information that in the five years of American occupation "approximately" 3,250 natives of Hayti were killed by marines and the gendarmic of Hayti. Gen. Barnett says it is impossible to fix the number of wounded. He gives indirect testimony as to the expertise of marine marksmanship by saying that only one marine officer and twelve enlisted men were killed in action with Haytian bandits. The number of 3,250 killed shows the completeness with which the situation was dealt. It means that about one out of every 100 inhabitants was exterminated to bring about the reign of peace that is said to prevail now. Much of Report Withheld. The uncertainty about the wounded probably also applies to the number actually killed. During the whole period of occlusion it was next to impossible even to approximate the number of natives wounded, as they either were carried off or would drag themselves away. How many of the wounded died in neighboring woods can never be known, and if the facts were attainable it is assumed the number of killed would total a much larger figure than those given by Gen. Barnett. The report of Gen. Barnett includes despatches and orders, not made public, which would tell the story of this application of force to the ignorant natives, and details the various conflicts with Haytians. All of these facts are ignored in the summary given out by the Navy Department. The department summary says: "Gen. Barnett reviews the entire activities of the marines in Haytian restoring order, protecting cities and inhabitants from attacks, organizing the Haytian gendarnetics and combating the bandities who preyed on the peaceful population. He presents official despatches and orders and gives details of the many conflicts with bands and engagements in fighting in defending cities and towns that were attacked, and in destroying the bandit strengths. In concluding his report Gen. Barnett says: Marine Corps records at headquarters show that of those armed Haytian bandits who actively opposed the Government of the Republic of Hayt in the field operations and incidents described above approximately 3,220 were killed either by marines or the personnel of the Gendarmerie d'Hayt. It is imprecate to state how many were killed by the marines and how many by the gendarmerie. Reports received of Taytian bandits wounded in the operations and incidents consist in the majority of cases either of mere estimates or general statements, and are not sufficiently complete upon which even to approximate the total number wounded. U. S. Casualties Slight. "One marine officer was killed in action and two officers wounded in action with Haytian bandits during this period. Twelve enlisted men of the Marine Corps were killed in action or died of wounds received in action, and twenty-six were wounded in action with Haytian bandits during this period. This makes a total of forty-one battle casualties suffered by the marines during this period. There have been two marine officers and thirty-four enlisted men of the Marine Corps to die from other causes, such as disease, accident, etc., in the republic of Haytian during this period. "In summarizing the facts recited in the above report I wish to invite the attention of the Secretary of the Navy to the fact that from a military point of view the operations in Haytian may be divided into two periods. The first period, 1915-16, when the marines were first landed in Haytian, and during which time a state of anarchy existed in that republic, and the second period, 1918-19, which period started by a concerted attack in force by the bandits on the city of Port au Prince. Of the total number killed during the five and a half years the marines have operated in Haytian considerably more than half, in fact 1,563, were killed in the repulse of the attack on Port au Prince and during the operations immediately following and made necessary" by this attack, during the periods mentioned a state of actual war existed, but during the whole time the bandits were mostly engaged in bushwhacking. While the total number killed may seem large it should be remembered that these operations extended over a period of five and a half years, and I believe that without the operations by the marines a much larger number of natives would have been killed by the bandits during this time." "Shocked Beyond Expression." Evidence at the trials of two marine privates for the killing of natives "shocked me beyond expression," Gen. Barnett said in a letter of September 27th to Col. John H. Russell, commanding in Hayti, ordering an immediate investigation with the approval of Secretary Daniels. It was at once carried out by Col. Russell, who submitted a report to the Navy Department March 20, 1920, but Gen. Barnett said the report had not been turned over to Marine Corps headquarters up to last June, when he was succeeded as commandant of the corps by Major-Gen. John A. Lejeune. In Secretary Daniels' absence from Washington to night the report of Col. Russell on his investigation was not available. In his letter to Col. Russell ordering the investigation Gen. Barnett declared that testimony at the trials of the two marine privates, as well as arguments presented by counsel for the defence, Leut. F. L. Spear "showed me that practically indiscriminate killing of natives has gone on for some time." "Judging by the knowledge gained only from the cases that have been brought before me," the General declared, "I think that the Marine Corps has been sadly lacking in right and justice, and I look to you to see that this is corrected, and corrected at once. "I was shocked beyond expression to hear of such things and to know that it was at all possible that duty could be so badly performed by marines or any class. "I want personal instructions sent to every officer and noncommissioned officer, both with the marines and gendarmetie (Haytian constabulary), that conditions as shown by the evidence in the trial of the privates above referred to must be corrected, and that such action cannot be tolerated for a moment." Strikes, Were Helpless. The lightship on what has occurred in Hayti tells a story that has about it in a ruthlessness with which the conquistadores conquered native Mexico. There was about the same disparity in intelligence between the invaders and the invaded, with the same inflexivity of weapons possessed by the native Haytians. There is no reflection upon the conduct of other navals or marine forces. There were there to carry out orders and did so in the effective manner that is conceived of marine operations anywhere. The attack on Port an Prince to which Gen. Barnett refers was a specific example of the collency with which the marines handled the situation. The American forces supplying Port an Prince learned that a body of native troops was advancing to attack the city. The Americans posted themselves to command the road with rides and machine guns, with the result that the Haytian attackers were almost annihilated. The report of Gen. Barnett, preceded by that of Gen. Lejeune, is evidently part of a programme on the part of the administration to put the occupation of the island in as good a light as possible. Gen. Barnett's report apparently went into details too thoroughly to meet all requirements. John A. McIlhenny, United States agent in charge of finances, has been summoned to Washington by the State Department to aid in making up the final report on the situation. Conflicts With Hague Laws. The administration's course in Hayti has become a live issue ever since critical reference was made to it in a recent speech by Senator Harding. The administration undoubtedly expects to show that peace has been attained in a lawless community, but the question which has not been approached is by which authority the occupation of the island was made. Neither has it been explained how the administration's course, taken mysteriously and without authorization, of Congress, squares with the declaration of the second Hague convention contained in Article I and 2, signed by the United States, which says: "The contracting powers agree not to have recourse to armed force for the recovery of contract debts claimed from the government of one country by the government of another country as being due to its nationals." Critics of the course that has been pursued in the Haytian and Dominican republics say it defeats the purpose of the Monroe doctrine, that it infringes the rights of lesser peoples, awakens suspicion of the United States throughout the new world, and that it is lacking in harmony. with declarations of the Versailles pact. As contrasted with the arrangement entered into with the Dominican Republic, the Navy Department, upon orders from Washington, it is booked possession of the island, established military dictatorship, dismissed the government, forbade elections and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. --- 'THE SMARTER SET AT THE STRAND THEATRE. Because of its brightness, humor, witching mebodies and all around novelties which the critics of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Brooklyn and Baltimore declare in the latest musical creation, "Bamboula," a two-art jazzian operetta, headed by the foremost comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, promise gladstone diversion when they appear at the Strand Theatre, for two nights, starting Friday, October 22d, with a matinee on Saturday. In Philadelphia the business was phenomenal, while in New York, Brooklyn, Washington and Baltimore the audiences were the largest "The Smarter Set" has appeared to in those cities. In Washington, and Baltimore, Whitney and Tutt created a sensation not only with their individual work, but also because the play and the musical numbers were their own composition, and the music lovers of both cities showed their appreciation of intelligent creation. In addition to Whitney and Tutt their organization consists of clever people, including Emma Jackson, Grave Howell, Edna Gibbs, Teresa West, Helen Jackson, oertho Rose, Elizabeth Campbell, Alonzo Foberdson, Nate Cash, Alex White, Marcus Shapter, Julian Costello and the "bronce beauty chorus," which is said to be better and handsome than ever. Among the newcomers is Madam Tiney Wilson, a wonderful little singer who has just returned from a successful European tour. She appeared in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Germany and France. And sang at the famous Moulin Rouge, where she became a great favorite. For the engagement special arrangements have been made for the seating of the colored patrons on the main floor, and judging from the demand for tickets it is advisable to secure your seats early. --- FEDERAL CASES AGAINST ROBE HILL DISMISSED The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces that the first definite victory in the Arkansas riot cases is the dismissal of both cases in the federal court against Robert Hill accused of leading Negroes in a plot to "massacre whites" in connection with the Arkansas riot of 1949. The information came to New York in a telegram sent by one of the counsel who are fighting the cases of the Arkansas colored men before the Supreme Court of that State. The telegram, which was received in the New York Office of the National Association on October 8th, was as follows: "Both cases in the federal court against Hill have been dismissed by order of the Attorney General."

Tokio Convention Makes Election Unanimous, Headquarters to Be in New York, Support of Racial Equality Impresses Japanese. By Glenn Babb (Special Cable Dispatch) Public Ledger Far East Service. Copyright, 1920, by Public Ledger Company. Tokio, Oct. 11.—John Wannamaker, of Philadelphia, was unanimously elected president of the World Sunday School Association this morning. Mr. Wannamaker's influence is felt throughout the convention, despite his absence through cabled messages and greetings delivered by the Rev. W. Edward Jordan, pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, who in presenting Mr. Wannamaker's greetings also referred to the convention's loss in the death of Dr. George F. Pentecost, of Philadelphia, who was to have addressed the convention. The convention decided that heneorth the headquarters of the World's Sunday School Association will be in New York. Hereotere the headquarters has been divided between London and New York. The change is due to the inability of the British, owing to the lack of funds to carry on the part of the program assigned to them. Glasgow is the likeliest choice for the next meeting. Racial Equality Supported Racial Equality Supported. The convention last night adopted resolutions unanimously supporting principal racial equality, saving: "We maintain that any national or international policy seeming to discriminate in the treatment of nations and races engenders bitterness and is detrimental to the best interests in making immoral the world peace. We call attention to the fact that the nations had warning of the present work chaos and deliberately refrained to exercise any provocative national action that would wound another nation's honor, discount national prestige or be of such a character as to create suspicions, resentment and revenge." The convention's stand greatly impressed the Japanese, especially in view of the fact that 80 per cent of the visiting delegates are Americans. Recognition Given to Work The emperor, although the head of the national religion, Shinto, gave 50,000 yen for the convention use. Such leaders as Prince Tosukawa, Count Fukuda, Marquis Okuma and Viscount Shibusawa addressed various sessions. On the other hand the government of the Buddhist, Shinto bodies did not lose the opportunity or propagating its government and caused to be distributed pamphlets presenting the Japanese case in Korea and also booklets outlining the religious situation in Japan, showing that only a half per cent of the population is professing Christianity. Despite those efforts to present Japan in the most favorable light, the fact that no delegates attended from Korea and China has made a profound impression of Japan's moral isolation in the Far East. John Wanamaker when seen yesterday would not discuss his election to the presidency of the World Sunday School Association, saying that he wished to wait until he had received notice of the action taken from the association direct. --- RALLY AT ST. JOHN'S BAPTIST CHURCH. October 3d was a great day "in Zion" with the St. John's Baptist Church, at Ginter Park. It was a great day in Zion, being the final day of the church rally that has been going on for two months. The weather being element and beautiful, the whole was a God-sent blessing. The captains of the twelve tribes of Israel have been the chiefs in the competition of the rally. The captain of the tribe of Juda was reported as being the victor a month ago and that gave challenge to the remaining tribes.

Owen's tribe, did not report. Total for the tally $826.55; general collection for the day $119.00, making a grand total of $445.55.

Critics of the course that has been pursued in the Haytian and Dominican republics say it defeats the purpose of the Monroe doctrine, that it infringes the rights of lesser peoples, awakens suspicion of the United States throughout the new world, and that it is lacking in harmony with declarations of the Versailles pact. As contrasted with the arrangement entered into with the Dominican Republic, the Navy Department, upon orders from Washington, it is said, took possession of the island, established a military dictatorship, dismissed the government, forade elections and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. 19 THE SMARTER SET" AT THE STRIAND THEATRE. Because of its brightness, humor, witching melodies and all-around novelties which the critics of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Brooklyn and Baltimore declare in the latest musical creation, "Bamboula," a two-act jazzian operetta, headed by the foremost comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, promise gladstone diversion when they appear at the Strand Theatre, for two nights, starting Friday, October 22d, with a matinee on Saturday. In Philadelphia the business was phenomenal, while in New York, Brooklyn, Washington and Baltimore the audiences were the largest "The Smarter Set" has appeared to in those cities. In Washington, and Baltimore, Whitney and Tutt created a sensation not only with their individual work, but also because the play and the musical numbers were their own composition, and the music lovers of both cities showed their appreciation of intelligent creation. In addition to Whitney and Tutt their organization consists of clever people, including Emma Jackson, Grave Howell, Edna Gibbs, Teresa West, Helen Jackson, perla Rose, Elizabeth Campbell, Alonzo, Fedderson, Nate Cash, Alex White, Mareus Shayter, Julian Costello and the "bronze beauty chorus," which is said to be better and handsomer than ever. Among the newcomers is Madam Tiney Wilson, a wonderful little singer who has just returned from a successful European tour. She appeared in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Germany and France. And sang at the famous Moulin Rouge, where she became a great favorite. For the engagement special arrangements have been made for the seating of the colored patrons on the main floor, and judging from the demand for tickets it is advisable to secure your seats early. --- FEDERAL CASES AGAINST ROBT. HILL DISMISSED. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces that the first definite victory in the Arkansas riots cases is the dismissal of both cases in the federal court against Robert Horton accused of leading Negroes in a plot to "massacre whites" in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. The information came to New York in a telegram sent by one of the counsel who are fighting the cases of the Arkansas colored men before the Supreme Court of that State. The telegram, which was received in the New York Office of the National Association on October 8th, was as follows: "Both cases in the federal court against Hill have been dismissed by order of the Attorney-General." (Signed) Seipio Jones. --- A NEW BANK OPENS The Second Street Savings Bank will formally open its doors to the public on Saturday, October 23, 1920, at 9 o'clock A. M.

He leaves a father, sister, brother, and a number of relatives and friends to mourn their lost. Active palebearers—Beverett Johnson, Linwood Archer, Joseph Ferguson, — Dillard, Mike Henly, and Holt.

Second Street, is spending several weeks with her sister, Miss Trent, of New York City. Tokio Convention Makes Election Unanimous, Headquarters to Be in New York, Support of Racial Equality Impresses Japanese. (Special Cable Dispatch), Public Ledger Far East Service. Copyright, 1920, by Public Ledger Company. Tokio, Oct. 14.—John Wannamaker, of Philadelphia, was unanimously elected president of the World Sunday School Association this morning. Mr. Wannamaker's influence is felt throughout the convention, despite his absence through cabled messages and greetings delivered by the Rev. W. Browning, Northwestern of Calvary Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, who in presenting Mr. Wannamaker's greetings also referred to the convention's loss in the dethr of Dr. George F. Pentecost, of Philadelphia, who was to have addressed the convention. The convention decided that henceforth the headquarters of the World's Sunday School Association will be in New York. Hereofore the headquarters has been divided between London and New York. The change is due to the inability of the British, owing to the lack of funds, to carry on the part of the program assigned to them. Glasgow is the Ikeilest choice for the next meeting. Racial Equality Supported. The convention last night adopted resolutions unanimously supporting principal racial equality, saying: "We maintain that any national or international policy seeming to discriminate in the treatment of nations and races engenders bitterness and is detrimental to the best interests in making inimical the world peace. We call attention to the fact that the nations had warning of the present work chaos and deliberately refrained to exercise any provocative national action that would wound another nation's honor, discount national prestige or be of such a character as to create suspicions, resentment and revenge." The convention's stand greatly impressed the Japanese, especially in view of the fact that 80 per cent of the visiting delegates are Americans. Recognition Given to Work. Christian missionaries residing in Japan believe the convention has resulted in a real impetus for the Christianization of Japan. It certainly has gained for Christian work the recognition not given heretofore. The emperor, although the head of the national religion, Shinto, gave 50,000 yen for the convention use. Such leaders as Prince Tokugawa, Count Uchida, Marquis Okuma and Viscount Shibusawa addressed various sessions. On the other hand the government of the Buddhist, Shinto bodies did not lose the opportunity or propagating its government and caused to be distributed pamphlets presenting the Japanese case in Korea and also booklets outlining the religious situation in Japan, showing that only a half per cent of the population is professing Christianity. Despite those efforts to present Japan in the most favorable light, the fact that no delegates attended from Korea and China has made a profound impression of Japan's moral isolation in the Far East. John Wanamaker when seen yesterday would not discuss his election to the presidency of the World Sunday School Association, saying that he wished to wait until he had received notice of the action taken from the association direct. RALLY AT ST. JOHN'S BAPTIST CHURCH. October 3d was a great day "in Zion" with the St. John's Baptist Church, at Ginter Park. It was a great day in Zion, being the final day of the church rally that has been going on for two months. The weather being element and beautiful, the whole was a God-sent blessing. The captains of the twelve tribes of Israel have been the chiefs in the competition of the rally. The captain of the tribe of Juda was reported as being the victor a month ago and that gave challenge to the remaining tribes. After many counter attacks on the offensives against the tribe of Juda, eleven of the tribes reported Sunday with the tribe of Juda in the lead. The report was made as follows: Juda $166.75, Manasses $105.85, Levi $109.12, Benjamin $103.00, Issachar $81.00, Reuben $63.00, Joseph $46.00, Simeon $22.00, Gad $21.92, Zebulon $17.50, Mrs. Watkins $9.00, Naphthali, Rev. Owen's tribe, did not report. Total for the rally, $826.55; general collection for the day $119.00, making a grand total of $945.55. The pastor who has been on a month's vacation, returned to us and he seemed to be at his very best —he was superbly dressed as a groom adorned to meet his bride. PRICE, FIVE CENTS the church. They were all overjoyed to see him back again looking so well and dressed so line for the occasion. The beautiful suit was donated to the parish by Mrs. Harriet Hemmings, the captain of the tribe of Levi and friends. The church was overcrowded with members, friends and visitors from Richmond, Ginter Park and vicinity. The church is prospering greatly under t.c. leadership of their present Pastor, Rev. A. M. Kent. He has been tested for his efficiency, and he has proven himself to be worthy to lead this people to the zenith of righteous and spiritual prosperity.

Being religious is all right, but it is better to be straight-forward and honest. We shall all go to heaven if we do right and make every effort to get there. Be truthful, colored folks, even though many people in this country are just the other way. Few children appreciate in their older years the sacrifice made for them by their parents. We cannot all be great in this world but we can be fair and we can try and do what is right: Many young people persist in having their own way even when they know that they are wrong. It will bring its own punishment. There is no individual however important that individual may be should he die but what some one will be found to take his or her place. Marrying a good industrious woman is to be commended. Linking oneself with one of the other kind is to be condemned. Misleading official reports are now admitted to have been the perversion of the truth in the "white-washing" of official murders in Haiti. Whatever may be said of the distinguished occupant of the White House, he has demonstrated one thing — he knows how to fight. The Democratic leaders may win the present presidential battle, but the indications at the present time seem to show that they will never be able to do it. Senator Warren G. Harding has displayed admirable judgment in the conduct of his campaign and his addresses have been marvels of political wisdom and profound information. The United States marines have disgraced themselves in Haiti. The massacre of black people in that country corresponds with the murdering of colored people in the United States of America. --- The more we read the scriptures, the more we are convinced that in the matter of their good habits and their bad qualities the people of to day are exactly like those who were alive when Christ died. THE SITUATION IN DAYTI The Haytian horror, which may well be termed a massacre of the natives emphasizes and confirms the opinion that this government is neither prepared nor qualified to deal with the darker races in the relation ship of either over-seer or master. The kind and class of white men to whom this duty is assigned by the departmental heads have an unnatural antipathy to the darker classes of people and they at once assume a donineering attitude that upon the least resistance on the part of the nation's wards will result in murder. The Haytian disclosures will un doubtedly result in a change of the past condition of affairs but the un fortunate part of the whole affair is that already more than 3,000 forign black people have already been made the victims of racial hatred. We are constantly being reminded of the feelings of the great statesman Thomas Jefferson when he exclaimed. "I tremble for my country, when I remember that God is just." MEETING OF THE LITTLE PEE DEE ASSOCIATION. LATTA, S. C. — The Little Pee Dee Association held its thirty-th annual session at the St. John Baptist Church of Latta, begining Friday P. M. at eleven oclock. Rev. S. C. Copland the Molerator called the meeting to order and Rev. William Mason preached the introductory sermon. Much interest was manifested in the discussion on the adoption of the new constitution. The new constitution was discussed by the following brethren: Rev. S. C. Copeland B. F. Jordon, S. M. DuBose, B. J. Bragdon, W. M. Bropdon, W. B. Washington, J. M. Lewis A. J. Jegerson, W. M. Dupree and A. W. Hayes. The following gentlemen discussed the program: Rev. B. J. Bragdon W. M. Dupree, C. A. is'th, S. M. DuBose and E. B. Webster. Rev. A. Shaffer conducted the S. S. Concert and very ably so. The following persons expressed themselves on the lesson: Mrs. D. H. Gadsden, Revs. S. C. Copeland, A. W. Hays, W. B. Washington, M. C. Smith, S. M. Dulhose, Mrs. Lillie Rogers, Rev. A. J. Jefferson and E. B. Webster. Rev. A. J. Jefferson preached on Friday night. He emphasized the necessity of each one of us building upon the Rock Jesus, who is the Ch'f Corner Stone in Zion. Rev. Jefferson kept his hearers wide awake during the sermon. The Little Pee Dee Baptist Association is rapidly forging its way to the front and the members feel thankful to God for it. By a bit of misunderstanding of the principal officers, at times it seemed that the Old Ship of State (Association) would have to be abandoned, but the captain Rev. S. C. Copeland was advised to consult his chart, which he wisely did, causing a safe landing. The writer was shown great courtesy by Dr. S. C. Copeland and also by Rev. B. F. Jordan during the sessions. Rev. Copeland is head of a large mercantile firm at Marion, S. C. and is doing a fine business. Rev. B. F. Jordan, th newly ected Moderator may be considered a Church builder since he has underway needed improvement at both of his Churches at Marion and Mullins. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES Rev. A. P. Young, B. D., preached a most excellent sermon at Mt. Olive last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Sunday school. Mrs. Melvina Harvey addressed the woman's meeting of Mt. Olive Baptist church to Essex County last Sunday. Mrs. Harvey is one of the field agents for the Mattaponi Woman's District Educational and Missionary convention. The public schools of this section have opened in full. Rev. M. N. Lawson preached to a large crowd last Sunday at the St. John Baptist church of which Rev. D. C. Winston is pastor. The exercises at Mt. Olive Sunday school were indeed creditably rendered. Many strangers were with us—remember you are always welcome at Mt. Olive. Messrs. Robert Booker, Wm.

Blackstone, Va., Oct. 3.—Death again visited this section last week when kev. Thos. J. Jordan, pastor of Mt. Gerazine Baptist Church, this county, and First Baptist Church, McKenny, was culled to his final reward. Rev. Jordan died at his home near Wilson, last Thursday morning the 7th, after a very short illness. He was buried the next day at Poplar Lawn, near Wellville, at 2 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted by kevs. T. J. King, of Dinwiddie, W. H. Neal, of Mohrin, and R. W. Ashburn, of Blackstone, Rev. Jordan was foray-two years old and had been in the ministry about twelve years, having been a licensed minister several years before his ordination which took place about four years ago. In order to bother prepare himself for his work, he attended the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg for a short while. He was a man of lofty ideals and was steadily climbing up in the ministerial world, having been tutored by some of the best ministers in this section besides the training at the Seminary. Rev. Jordan was one of those ministers who not only preached spiritual sermons, but preached moral and progressive sermons to his race also. As evidence of the esteem in which he was held in this and surrounding counties, one of the largest gatherings was at his funeral and burial that had ever been witnessed in the history of Poplar Lawn Church. Besides a widow, he is survived by five children, mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Clem Jordan, four brothers and three sisters. The body was in charge of Thomas & Williams, undertakers of this church. While he was loved and esteemed by his relatives, his members and a host of friends, God loved him best and called him to rest from his labors. A council, composed of delegates from several of the churches in the county, met here on Monday, the 11th, to set up what is to be known as the Second Baptist Church of Blackstone. Rev. W. M. Thomas, pastor of Mt. Nebo, was Moderator. It is not known by the writer who the officers of this church are, nor who is to be their pastor, but among the officers are some of the town's best citizens and there is no apparent reason why the new church should not prosper. The church is located in what is known as West Blaine, the promoters having purchased a building at that part of the town. Mrs. William Thornton, who has been visiting relatives in York, Pa., and other places, has returned to her home here. Messrs. Tom Ward and John Dagner, of Norfolk, came up last Sunday to see Mr. C. C. Ward Mr. Ruffin H. Ward, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Ward, who is a steward in the navy, arrived here last Sunday from Norfolk, where his ship is stationed for a while, to spend a few days with his parents. Mr. Ward departed from San Francisco to Norfolk. He is expected to be here on a week. ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM. Escape from Central State Hospital, Petersburg, Va., August 7, 1920 3:30 P. M.

It is impossible to detach the at- tion of the country from. the record of the Wilson Administration as. the supreme issue in this eampaign, ‘The moment Uktt sincere believers in any other suggested issue begins to Taney that they might possibly pay i some Tittle attention there is morally cortain to explode right in the fice ef the publie another sen- sationsl reminder that the para mount ditty of the American people on this oceasion is to. pillory and condenm beyond the reach of forget fulness, if Not forgiveness, the seven lean years of inetheicney, of per- verse ward partisanship, of sheer bullhead blundering, whieh the Wile son regime has inflicted on this na- Gon. With the language of the mil- Jennum on their lips, the Wilson en- tourage have draggod us through the mire of incompetent muddling, of calculated exploitation of public services for party adventage and, it is now revealed, of the eruclist and most despotic imperialistic aggres- sion, ‘The report of Brigadier General George Barnett on the bloody de- tails of our “benevolent govern- ment of the helpless inhabitants of Haiti will shock this humane and liberty-worshiping American people to its heart's center, While we were “making the world safe for democ- racy" in France—even before that, while our President was still loftily lecturing the Old World on its un- pardonable wiekedness in going to war at all—we were ruthlessly practicing machine-gun Imperial- ism, decorated with official murder, in Haid. How finely our high pro: fessions must have read to the rela- tives and friends of the 3,250 na- tives of that Island, killed” by our uniformed and scientifically armed reprsentatives or by the native gen- darmeric we had organized and equipped! ‘This employment of na- tives to kill natives is the most char- acteristic and diabolically — clever achievement of the predatory Impe- rialism we profess (o abhor. Every detail of the squalid and humiliating affair whieh we are per- mitted as yet to know fills us with the most profound humiliation and disgust. Por instance, we are told by General Barnett: “Krom what | have heard, 1 think the original trouble in Tlaiti was occasioned. by the manner in whieh the corvee sys: tem was enforeed. ‘The system it self is in accordance with Haitian law and was not objected to, but the trouble was, 1 have heard, ‘Ghat na: tives were on certain occasions re: ured to work under the corvee sys fem outside their own districts which was contrary to law.” Now, what is the. “eorvee sys tem?" It's human slavery, neithe: more nor less, Ngis a system by whieh the Gov: ernment can seize a man, drag him away from his home and work, ne matter how necessary that may. be to himself Gr his family, and con: pel him to labor at tasks in whieh it is interested. When the British went into Egypt they found the “eorvee system’ in full operation. As General Barnett naively — re: marks, “it was in accordance with (Egyptian) law." So, on the logic which even this American investiga- tor quotes approvingly, the British would have been justified in keep: ing it in foree, But they abolished it, root and branch, ‘They called it by its right name, “slavery.” and set the Kgyp- tian fellaheen free, We have heard & good deal of eriticism of Hritish rule in Egypt by men not very. far from our professionally “idealistic” Administration; and yet this. very Administration employed the armed forees of the American nation to preserve and enforee this system ot native slavery in an Island almost under the shadow of our own Re- public. Had there been any Hai- tians who still remembered — out Civil War, they must have rubbed dba a gate ge their eyes to see the American uni for supporting by — foreo force. which -seems at tines to have re- sulted in “unlawrul, indiserininate Killing’—-a survival of Muman slay- ery whieh the British bad long ago strangled in Egypt. Nor is the position of our admin- istration of the affairs of Maiti im proved by the confession that it was our extension wf that odious and in- tolerable system, our increase of the barbarity of the native Inw, which really brought about the revolts in which the natives were shot down by our men. It is a comfort, at all events, to Know (hat the system of Seorvee”™ was finally abolished by General Russell just a year ago and Ut now skivery no longer has our armed support in Haiti, Three thousand Owe hundred and fifty kings in five and) a halt years—some at least “unlawful and indiseriminate™—is an awtul record, One of the reasons given for taking the German colonies in Afrien away from the German nation was that the German administrators were guilty of “erucltics to the natives.” How about including | “unlawful” killings by armed American marines, in the category of “eruelties” to na- livgs? ‘Then “we published yester- day “morning a statement on the Haitian situation from James Wel- don Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Ad- vancement’ of Colored People, who has just returned from a visit to Haiti, He tells us that "the official whitewashing of the United States occupation of Maith has begun,” and puts down five damning counts on which he condemns that occupation, One of the reads: "Men and women. have been tortured.” This is a charge that demands further and fearless investigation. It must not be “whitewashed.” ‘The fag of America cannot be used to cover such atrocitios. ‘The whole roof should be ripped off this bad business, It is sickening enough that we should have embarked upon what looks very like an Imperialis- tic adventure “in this defenseless island; but the revelation that we copied the ghastly evils of that sys- tem, while professing to fight against its worst example in Europe, will fall upon the amazed conscience of our people as a stunning blaw. Yet it is the perfect fruit of pur- blind Wilsonism. It seems that See- retary Daniels, one of the Presi- dent's most ‘unctuous — imitators, knew about conditions down there very early in the day, He knew enough, at all events, to ask. that the investigation be’ “expedited.” ‘The light-hearted references of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the pater- nal operations in” this unhappy island of the Administration — to which he was attached reveal how congenial the practice of Imperial: ism may be to the rhetorical preaeh- his head in the clouds who itrusts the details of government to party “hacks” and talkative incompetents is precisely the sort of Chief Execu- tive to wake up some morning to find the skirts of his ostentattously “superior administration draggled and disgraced, to the infinite shame of the nation, l po YoU KNOW HIM, ! © T would like to Know the where- about of my Unelo Sam Flemmings When last heard from about two vears ago he was in Jersey City, N J., or some place near there.
