In 36 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 9 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would be lynchers.

Bowles at the south-west corner of Third and Clay streets had the appearance of a slaughter pen Christmas Eve night, and every one who saw the two bleeding men, resting on stretchers could doubt that one or the other of them would not see the light of day. It is reported that two brothers, William and Floyd Muse, of 407 West Clay and another man got into an altercation with still another man and as a result a knife came into play with the two brothers and the other man fighting another. PRICE, FIVE CENTS ITION STREET DODLES H. D. LETS. Woman in the turn of the k's Appli- pinion. Linwood Bottom shot and fatally injured Howard D. Brown, ex-State Prohibition Agent in front of 117 N. Fifth Street, Tuesday, December 23, 1924 at a few minutes after 1 P. M. The coroner's jury rendered a rather remarkable verdict, Tuesday, December 30, 1924 as it passed upon the guilt or innocence of the accused and reads as follows: CORONER'S VERDICT. "It appears to the jurors from Brown's actions and the fact that he was not armed, that Bottom did not shoot in self-defense." It was rendered evidently to eliminate the possibility of securing ball for the accused, although it did not and does not bind the actions of the Judge of the trial court. The story as told is as follows: R. H. Pair, 3102 Barton Avenue testified that Linwood Bottom fired bullet after bullet into the prostrate form of Brown and approached him after he had dropped to his knees as a result of the other shots. Blood was streaming from Brown's mouth and Bottom fired other shots into him as he fell almost lifeless, dragging down the fruit-boxes of the confectionery store with him. Pair was standing in front of the confectionery when Brown came out of the store. Brown walked to the curb, and as he did so, looked at some one behind Pair, making an insulting remark. Then Linwood Bottom brushed past him and leveled a revolver at Brown, firing once. As Brown staggered and attempted to reach the door, he fired again. Bottom followed him and fired two more shots into his body. These bullets entered Brown's back. As Brown reached the door of the store, a woman attempted to get out. She impeded Brown's progress, and his body crumpled to the sidewalk. Brown attempted to get up and pulled several boxes of fruit down, when he caught hold of them in an effort to regain his feet. Bottom stepped forward and fired several shots into Brown's body, con tinuing until his ammunition was exhausted. He then stepped to the curb, reloaded his revolver and stepped into the beauty shop. He called to a person nearby and told him to go get ball. There were seven bullet wounds in the body. Brown had three pictures of his wife in his pocket. Bottom had been a lodger at Brown's house and had trouble with Brown a few weeks ago at 9th and Leigh streets over Brown's wife. As a result, Bottom shot Brown in the hand and Brown had badly disfigured Bottom's face. Bottom was sent on to the grand jury last Wednesday. One of the names is given as Butler. When the affray was over, an over coat had been cut to pieces, and a throat, face and body badly disfigured. Bowles Pharmacy being nearby, it was converted into a hospital and much cotton was used. The ambulance surgeon did his part and the men were carried to St. Phillips Hospital. The other man in the affair is said to have left these parts. Despite the apparently serious injury to them, all of them were on the stree's last sunday. Dr. Bowles has had another cutting scrape victim since, but he waves them in the direction of St. Phillips Hospital. He says he has enough and more than enough.

MAIL, from all over the world is literally covering up Mrs. Macon Thornton, postmistress at Ormond, Fla. You see, John D. Rockefeller spends his winters at his winter home "The Casements" just across the Halifax River from the little city of Ormond. The mail is for John D. And the largest part of the letters coming to the Ormond postoffice for John D. Rockefeller now are of the corail type. JUST SIX MONTHS So many of these are received by the aged philanthropist that if he should make a favorable response to all the pleas the Rockefeller fortune would be depleted in just six months. This is the estimate of Newton Davis, Rockefeller's secretary Davis made it at the request of Rockefeller. Having heard the report, Rockefeller expressed sympathy for Mrs. Thornton and her one assistant, a woman and returned to his golf. NEVER OPENED Close friends of Rockefeller say that 90 per cent of these by-mail pleas, whether received at Ormond, at 28 Wall Street, or any other Rockefeller place, are never opened. In fact, much of the mail that comes to Ormond is not taken out of the postoffice. Rockefeller's secretary and others of his staff have developed an uncanny sense for recog THE GREAT AMERICAN HOUSE SORRY CALL I JUST GIVING HER TEN SHE L CUTE RED -SHE PER LITTLE THE LITTLE DEAR You Want Me?

Ormond folks have grown to love and respect their winter-time neighbor. And never is the Rockeferler spirit of democracy more strongly shown than dring his stay here. He seldom fails to attend services at the little Union church. He attends musicals and other affairs at the hotel. When at one of these he quickly becomes "one of the party." Scores of small boys here proudly display shining new dimes at times, gifts from Rockeferler. CHUMMY Though Rockefeller is almost chummy with Ormond folk he shies from publicity.

SOME PEOPLE never learn anything. To them, advice and experience is a blank page. CHILDREN and preachers will always keep you from forgetting that Christmas times are periods for gifts. MARRYING for love is all right, if you marry when young. Marrying for business is all right, when you are old. "A MAN'S WORK is from sun to sun; a woman's work is never done" is as true today as when it was first uttered. SOME PEOPLE still believe that there are others, who still practice "putting a spider in some other folks' dumpling." COLORED PEOPLE of some of the types are not waiting for lawless, Negro-hating white folks to kill them but are performing the task of killing themselves. WHITE FOLKS are shooting and killing each other here now and colored folks, who believe in imitating the white folks are proceeding to shoot and kill each other. --- POLITENESS to white folks pays just as politeness to colored folks gives absolute satisfaction to those intelligent enough to appreciate this rule of conduct. OFFICE-HOLDERS find it a difficult task to secure an increase in salary. They should seek a private TH FOR THE LUVA job, where the proprietor or owner has to pass upon the application. SOME MEN want a home. They marry for this reason. Some times they get a home and no wife to properly take care of it and some other times, they get a wife and are unable to find a home, although she is fitted to take care of one. FRANCE DOES NOT want to pay its undoubtedly to the United States unless Germany settles up with her. In other words, she wants to transfer her financial liabilities to Germany. This has caused a sensation in this country. We knew that all the time. GERMANY MAY NOT fight France during the present generation, but she will fight her some time in the future, for the reason that France has held the foundation for bitterness and hatred and it is human to do this very thing. GIVING AWAY millions of dollars is becoming a pastime among some of the wealthy. They presume that it is as well to do this for a worthy cause as to surrender a similar amount to a government that is about to confiscate it anyway. INGRATITUDE is a dominant feature in this generation of people. No sooner is a favor granted than it is forgotten. MOST MARRIED MEN do not know how to value the "other woman" until they get one of their own by matrimony. TROUBLE is for us all, due to the fact that this is a world of trouble, of trials, of tribulations and bereavements. AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL is speedy, and gratifying, but the expense is speedy and disappointing. --- "HISTORIANS TELL of the glory of war; burial parties saw murder, where historians saw glory." IF YOU SAY MONEY for prohibition, it becomes at once available. If you say increase in salaries, it becomes at once the object of a contest and a bitter contention in the Congress. IT IS BECOMING so onerous now in this country that every citizen finds in the increase of taxes, a slavery to the Government. --- THE BUILDING of good roads is quite an item of expense, but will evenually be a high road to prosperity for the farmer. SOME PEOPLE believe in cutting and shooting and in order to carry out their desires dull the sensibilities with liquor. They are twenty-one THIS IS GETTING TIRESOME THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA years of age and it seems that no one can hinder, not even the women. --- GOOD CHARACTER is no longer an asset in this Government, for every other individual seems to assassinate it without rhyme or reason. --- SOME PEOPLE will believe the words of a charlatan, before they will accept those of a reputable citizen. PRESIDENT GENERAL MARCUS GARVEY should begin to realize that the liberation of Africa is a far cry. The civilized nations have far cry. The civilized nations have already parcelled it out and only the natives themselves can throw off the yoke of oppression. The black tribes of Morocco seem to have realized this Should this leader wait long enough he may be able to find a refuge for his people in that part of Africa. SOME WOMEN have more brains, more intellect than some men, but most men have more brains, more intellect than some other women. It is due to environment and conditions. The time may yet come when this inequality will disappear entirely from the earth. GOING TO WAR is easy; going to peace is more difficult. It takes from twentyfive to fifty years for a people to forget the lessons of a bloody carnage, then a new generation comes upon the field of action that wishes to experience war's horrors for itself. DESPIITE THE FACT that the Scriptures declare that there shall be wars and rumors of war before the end of time and that peace will come only with the Millennium, there are people, who believe that this condition can be brought about without the action of God and by the concerted action of man himself. They are either deceiving themselves or endeavoring to deceive other people. THE COLORED SOLDIERS The National Equal Rights League announces that the Colored Race is disappointed over the action of the War Department in declining to grant Christmas pardons to the remainder of the prisoners convicted many years ago of the Houston Riots. Editor William Monroe Trotter publishes in full the communication from Major General Robert C. Davis, in which he states that applications for the pardon of the men may be fled every year, until the result is accomplished. Most, if not all will be released in 1928 or soon thereafter. This is one of the darkest chapters in the history of our Government in its dealing with members of the black race. Republican and Democratic Chief Executives have been dominated by the War Department, the decrees of which are well-nigh as inexorable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. However, the movement should be continued until all of the men have been released or "have gone unto their fathers". ME COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" 1. SHOULD SUPREME COURT ADVISE CONGRESS? 3. NEW JOBS, PLEASE! Mr. Solicitor General Beck, of the United States Department of Justice, has come forward with the novel suggestion that the U. S. Supreme Court might increase the value of its services to the good old U. S. A.. by advising Congress, from time to time, as to the constitutionality of legislation, thereby keeping Congress off the rocks of decisive reversal of its own findings. In other words, for instance, the supreme judiciary could inform Congress upon antilynching legislation, the application of the Fifteenth Amendment, and sundry matters of national import, as to which militant Congressmen, particularly those from the verdantless Southland, delight to repeat their oaths and reassert that in no wise could they violate their pledges to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The significant feature as to the doings of Congress is that there is a variey of opinion as to what is constitutional. This is evidenced in Congressman Tinkham's former bill which was aimed to cut down representation from the Southland, where Negroes have no say in the selection of their representatives. Hence the nine learned jurists, free from public sentiment, have, in the end, always been able to set Congress straight. To advise Congress in advance of legislation, however, would be a novel undertaking. Such a plan would probably must helpful from a selfish standpoint, and Congressmen sincerely interested in a new freedom for Negroes might give their constituency greater aid than ever before. The plan, though, to our humble mind, despite our great respect for Solicitor General Beck, would take away from Congress the opportunity to fix its own intentions as to proposed legislation. These intentions can only be fixed by full and free debate, and pulse sounding of all the people. Intentions are the guiding stars of legislation, and we do not think that the philosophies of judicial minds should be transferred from our highest bench, in advance, to the Halls of Congress. Let the doctrine of legal precedents remain undisturbed. SHOULD SUPREME COURT ADVISE CONGRESS?

In judging the proper amount of space necessary for your car, come to a complete stop outside of the best available space between cars parked at the curb.

Can You Park Properly? By KETTEN GREER College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago) Negro life has an appeal which is linked with the tears and smiles of all American life. It is not to be denied.

The practice of just heading a car into a space, regardlk of its size, and leaving it there, forcing traffic to turn out for the rear end, should be stopped. To get out from a light place at the curb, reverse your car as far as possible. Turn the wheels sharp left as far as car they will go. Extend left land for signal and start forward slowly. A little jockeying back and forth will bing you out as easily as you got in. More accidents occur from dashing blindly out from the curb into traffic than in any other way.

FLYING BRINGS CHANGE. REAL ESTATE AND RAILROADS. PEACE IN SLEEPY HOLLOW. What railroad man will first realize what the flying machine means? What railroad man especially will first realize what the flying machine will do to the passenger traffic of the great railroads on all long hauls? The first capable man, acting on thorough realization of the flying machine's future, will establish for his stockholders and himself such a fortune as would make those of the Vanderbilts, Hills and Huntingtons look like financial crumbs. You think about the flying machine out west as representing the business energy of the whole Western country. To go there now, you travel four days on trains admirably equipped and managed. In less than twenty years the trip will be made by flying machines in six hours and with absolute safety. How many Americans will devote four railroad days to a six-hour flying trip? Not many. The flying machine will upset theories, habits and values. Land one hundred miles from a great city will be reached more quickly than land in the suburbs twenty-five miles away is reached now. Flying for all long journeys will displace railroading completely within the lives of middle-aged men now living. Many railroad men, of course, realize that a great change in transportation comes from the William Sproule president of the Southern Pacific Railroad, said yesterday that what caused him to do some hard thinking was the landing in San Francisco of a man that had dawn from New York in one single day between sunrise and dark.

Transportation through the air on a great commercial scale probably will be developed first in this part of the world, for here the need is greatest. Real railroad men as regards present earnings will not fear the flying machine, even should they fail to utilize it. That flying machine, taking long-haul passengers from railroads, will so greatly increase freight carrying as to make railroad rights of way and terminals more valuable than ever. That's part of the wisdom of Divine Justice. No really good thing ever disappears with another good thing already existing. The taxi wiped out the hansom cab, as gas and electricity wiped out the tallow candle. But the hansom and the candle were really not "good things." Watch the flying machine. It will make changes greater than the steam engine ever made, making man literally master of all he surveys by enabling him to go anywhere and everywhere without roads or terminals, crossing a continent in half a day. Most important of all is the fact that the flying machine alone represents national safety, since all wars will be fought and won or lost in the air from now on. Write your two Senators and your Congressman, urging adequate aerial defense—not half as many first-class machines as any other nation has, but twice as many. Samuel Gompers lies in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at Tarrytown, N. Y., not far from the grave of Andrew Carnegie. The much talked of "community of interests" and "equality" between capital and labor become real in the graveyard. On earth, in the sunshine equality of capital and of labor, is not yet reality. Labor is labor, with worry and uncertainty attached to it, usually. And capital, with all its worries, means some leisure and a systematic share in what labor produces. But conditions are better than they were. It is no longer a crime for workmen to unite. It was a crime once. And they no longer brand with a red-hot iron any workman convicted of leaving his own parish to seek employment in another. They did that in England, years ago.

February 16th. azine NINGS HELPS Poem by our Uncle John As we travel our pesterful way, with the process of life on the wane, we should try to seem happy an' gay, in the face of concomitant pain. For, the neighbors are hungry for amiles—they crave in our sunshine to bask; shall we fret at the cumbersome miles, an' deny 'em the pittance they ask? I reckon—a shiny, bald head ain't viewed by its owner with pride. When our hirsute ademment has fied, there's facts that can't well be denied. . . . But—a song that peals forth in its joy from lips that don't whisper complaint, proclaims that the singer's a boy—though the Alma-ick growls that he ain't! I've reached the conclusion most trite, which ain't incenistent with sense—that, our burdens grow more an' more with the increase of smiles we dispense. I can't quite agree with the guess that age is all barren an' drear, in a world we were destined to bless, while the neighbors are glad we are here!

She passes of gasoline and the occupants of a passing car refuse to lend them any. The Wreck takes five gallons at the point of a gun, and she shoots them at a ranch and meet Charlie Mween, the foreman, who is in a quandary because he has lost his wife. Sally cooks a breakfast which so pleases Mween that he takes a wheel off their car in order to accept them on the ranch. Forced to accept the inevitable, Sally takes a nap. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Probably she dreamed. But she was never quite sure of it, because if it began as a dream it ended as something that really happened. There was a rhythmic throbbing in her ear, and as she came slowly and reluctantly to consciousness it grew steadily louder. There was a mechanical regularity about it that reminded her of the wristmil at the Far P. but she realized an instant later that she was not in her own home. And it wasn't a windrill, either. It was more like an enigma. Its eyes were blinking now. What it was an enigma! Sally uncurbs herself and straightens up the big chair. If Henry William had resurrected that flapper, if he had found that wheel, if he had been in a fight with Charley McSween—well, then he was going to have some first-class trophy on his hands. Her car were sharper now; she was compl-tely awake. She listened a second o two lones. No; it was not the fliver. It was a different kind—an ennine, more orcerly and dignified—wealthier. She leaped forward and pushed aside a corner of the cuck-ton. The thing that made the pose and came to a stop outside Sally stared at it with round eyes. "Why, I believe—Oh, it is." She slipped out of the chair with the sudden speed of a cat and raced in the direction of the kitchen. "They trailed us!" she gasped, as she ran. CHAPTER VIII Hiding Out As Sally charged into the kitchen by way of the pantry, the Wreck was coming in through the door that opened on the yard. He stared at her in plain surprise; he did not know she could, as so fun. "What's the hurry?" he asked, mildly. "We're trailed!" "Trailed? What do you mean?" "Have they seen you?" she panted. "Who What are you talking about? I haven't seen anybody but some horses down in the corral." "Well we're trailed all right. Henry Williams 'They're out in the front now'" "Who's out in front?" "The people you stuck up—the big cat" The Wreck lifted his eyebrows, looked thoughtful for an instant, then began squirting his shoulders. "Oh, all right." he said. "We'll stick 'em up again." Sally groaned. "We've got to get out of here," she said, sharply. "We've got to make a getaway. We'll get a couple of horses down at the corral before they see us. You'll just have to ride. It will be a thing to contemplate the Wreck on horseback, but it seemed the only chance "Oh. I can ride" he said. "I can ride anything. Only it's easier to stick em up" "We'll take their car" Sally shook her head angrily "No, you idiot!" she cried "Well, the horses if we get a chance at Try Your Luck With Audrey A.

If the Wreck insisted on shipping him, this seemed to be the chosen time. And if it was necessary, she would help "I was just lookin' for you" said Charley, addressing the Wreck. "I want a hard with some baggage outside." "Jub!" inquired the Wreck. "Baggage!" repeated Charley. "The loss is here." Sally and the Wreck exchanged a slow glance. Then she pinched his fingers tightly, and he knew it was meant to be some sort of a signal. "Where are you men? Can't they handle baggage?" she demanded. "The toys ain't here, mutam. So I'm askin' him," with a nod toward the Wreck. "Well, my husband doesn't handle baggage." Again she pinched the Wreck's fingers. "What's the reason he don't handle baggage?" inquired Charley. "Ain't it dignified?" "Hes--he's not strong," said Sally T The Wreck began to squirm and look truculent. "I admit he ain't exactly powerless to injure him. But a while said he was right to look thought maybe he could rasple a couple of trunks without sustainin' any personal damage." "No, you'll have to get somebody else," said Sally. Charley made no effort to conceal the disgust in his soul. He inspected the Wreck from his horn-rimmed spectacles to his shoes, following the examination with a gesture of contempt. "Been' as your wife won't let you," he remarked. "I suppose me and the chauffeur 'll manage." The man never knew how he managed to maintain any self-control, but he blamed it all on Sally. All he did was to shout: "If you think I'm a baggage smasher, you just wait and see what happens to your dishes." Charley went out with a remark to the effect that he did not have to pay for the dishes. The Wreck and Sally stared at each other. "You—you stuck up the owner of the place" she wailed. "He was a hog," said the Wreck, with fine simplicity. "I was carrying about the owner; his mind was occupied with plans to revenge himself for the insults of Charley McSwain."

VERTICAL. 1, Pertaining to dogs. Sally, in an awed whisper think that we walked right into hands. I knew there was someth- queer about this place the minute took a look around the house." "Well, what do we do now? Say the horses?" Sally considered, then shook her head slowly. "No; I think we'd better wait now I don't believe it's quite as bad as I thought. You see. they didn't trail us here, after all. They were coming, anyhow. Probably they don't know we're here; if they did, we'd have heard from it before this. We've got to figure this out now—carefully. The main thing is to keep them from seeing you. That's why I wouldn't let you go out to help with the bag game. He was not a good hand at play, a playing game, and said so. It was still in favor of going out and taking the big car, a float which presented to him no considerations to dismay. But Sally sharply ordered him to put the idea out of his head. The situation bewildered her but she did not think it had yet reached a crisis. Nobody in the car had seen her, it was very unlikely that they even knew their hold-up man had a girl with him. So long as she could keep the Wreck out of their sight and as long as the fluffer remained locked up in a shed, there was still a chance to figure something out. But how utterly exasperating it was. Just when she was satisfied that they had blundered into a safe hide-out, she discovered that they had really walked into the lion's den. "The thing to do, of course, is to keep them from seeing you." In the kitchen all the time. I'm afraid. I don't suppose they'll come in here. "They're not going to coop me up in a kitchen." he growled. "Besides, it was dark last night, anyhow. They didn't get a good look at me. I had my cap pull. I do. Charley came into the kitchen again "We got that bargage in, thanks to nobody that washes dishes," he said. "And now, I got to ask you to bustle dinner. They're real hungry." "They'll have dinner just as soon as I can get it," said Sally, promptly. The Wreck regarded her with a look of amazed disappointment. Was she going to turn and eat for a hog? It was enough to be drained as cook for an unknown, but to do chores for your enemy was gratification. He was about to speak when she stopped him with a look. "Scens they didn't get any regular breakfast, except crackers, which they had with 'em," explained Charley. "That leaves em kind of hungry. They get bung up on the road. In fact, they got held up." "You don't mean it!" exclaimed Sally, who was digging into the barrel, as a first step in the directive. hey, you get him. Teller just watches and valuables and left flat without any gas." Sally ventured a look at the Wreck He seemed to be curiously clated "It been done before," said Chley, who was slightly bored. "I ain't anything to what they used to do. Only the boss is pretty wet stirred up, which maybe is natural enough. He comes from I where they don't know anything about such things." The Wreck was standing near window, polishing his spectacles. I was Sally's first conscious glimpse of him without the horn rims. I gave him a moment impression of her another person, time to study him. Chley was in interesting. "Who is the boss?" she asked, trying to be inoffensive. "His name is Underwood," said Charley. "He's from New York.

I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va.
