Special by Staff Correspondent Carl Person, charged with the murder of Antone Musser, was set free by a jury of 12 men of his peers. The case celebrated for its notoriety and had attracted much comment, able lawyers on either side fought valiantly for and against the defendant and the court room was over crowded when the arguments began. The defence had Frank Comerford of Chicago, Atty. Beecher of Lincoln, and two Clinton lawyers, while the prosecution at States Atty. Williams and Mr. Herrick, of Clinton, Judge Whitfield of Decatur, presided. The case attracted state wide attention and consumed two weeks. Rev. P. C. Cooper will move to his home in Mattoon. Mrs. P. C. Cooper and Miss Izora Rogers attended the Annual Conference at Jacksonville, as did also Rev. Crippen. Mr. Clifford Quisenberry, candidate for the Legislature, 28th Senatorial District, is so very popular that it is believed he will get the entire colored vote, he is on the democratic ticket, but the Negroes or colored people, have come the conclusion that they do themselves an injustice as well as the man, to vote against a good man, and a man who has always been their best friend, just because such a man happens to sail under the Democratic flag, and they are sensible in this wise.

A man who has demonstrated merit and conserved energy. He has shown by his large following, that he has the confidence and esteem of his constituents. He has been a true and faithful adherent to the republican party and her principles and not one honest man has ever attempted to prove that he is other than a true and tried friend to every man. The Colored peeple will find him to be a man who believes in all men up who deserve to be raised up. He is the fittest man for the office to which he is now seeking and our state will be honored by electing him. The Colored people over the state have been staunch Russel supporters in the past and we are sure they have not been estranged from him—no not one. The Forum can endorse him in the highest terms and recommend him to the electorate of this great state as a champion of the right. A man of worth and integrity. Greater need hath no man than these requisites. Negroes Buy Coal Mine at Barclay Negroes Buy Coal Mine at Barclay May Prove to be a Revolution in Industry A Company of Coal Miners have purchased the Coal Mine at Barclay, Ill., about 10 miles East of Springfield and have incorporated the same and gone at business on a large scale. From all indications it will prove a big success. It is possible that this venture will revolutionize the industrial conditions here among Colored people and prove a boon. A Negro town may be established at Barclay and a great business center such as Riverton is for the Italians, is possible. Let everybody boost the new Coal Mine and let the managers do business on the square with their fellow men and the public, let no questionable methods be taken and let competent men handle the books and the finances, and success is assured.

Brown are on the Executive Committee and lawyer S. T. Clanton is on the Speakers Bureau. The committee has also placed the entire Colored political matter in the hands of the local Negro Club, under the management and supervision of the Colored Club.

Down in Georgia a colored man was accused of shooting an overseer of a farm—a pack of bloodhounds, when they caught the man tore him to pieces and yet the mob hanged the colored man. How dare you barbarians to criticize Russia, Turkey or Barneo for being "inhuman." What you "lowdown" bruts know about humanity and Christianity. Now if you Southern people or any one else, don't like it because France and England have African and Colored soldiers fighting the Germans, don't be getting "mad" at we American Negroes, go over there and say what you have to say to Lord Kitchener and General Joffrey This may be a white man's war for all we care, it certainly is not an American war. "Colored men wanted" for U. S. Army, is seen in conspicuous places now. Well, we do not know how to advise. You white people are so "curious," France wants "our boys" now, and will treat them right. A hint to the wise. W. Allison Sweeney literally skinned that Memphis, Tenn., gentleman (?) who became so incensed because Negro soldiers strangled three Germans to death, you Southern fellows have been raising h-l long enough and the Colored people are tired of it. Now if this gentleman (?) is so "outraged" because Germans are being killed by Africans, let him go over to Germany and help. We have been outraged by such as this Mr. Haaga, too, but now the tray is turned. Layon MacDuff. Cheers for the living, tears for the dead. Parents, "boss" your "kids" or they will boss you. I went down Washington Street this week and saw and heard things we sorely deplore, boys, colored, standing in front of the theatre (making it a nuisance,) using vulgar language and swearing, these boys' ages range from 12 to 16, school boys, boys who should be at home studying. Some of them spoke of having been too drunk to go home, a total disgrace, they were all smoking cigarets. Washington Street is getting to be just like the "Pike" during that St. Louis World's Fair almost like Water Street in Decatur, during that Carnival last week. We congratulate St. Paul A.M. E. Church for putting on, or having put on, so many ciassic renditions during the past eight months, this is proper, our people should be able to do something besides "dance." The Forum stands for men of character and worth and such only. We are with the preachers, when they stand for something and do something and say something. AN EXPLANATION. We suppose that we receive a great deal of criticism from our readers for errors, errors typographical however. In many instances such errors make sentences and whole paragraphs and even articles, ambiguous, many times they make us say the opposite to what we intend saying. You see, the fault dear Brutus is not in our stars, but in "them" "cussed" printers. In all print shops, they have "devils" and "devils" make a specialty of not spelling, sometimes the "devil" raises hades, oftimes, in our editorial on the Turkish Ambassador, last week, it concluded by saying; "we will be fighting everything from ballon up," and we aimed to say, "everything from babboon up." See. In the Peoria letter two negative words were omitted, robbing the sentences of its clarity. So whenever you see these errors, don't curse out the editor, but the printer and the stenographer. WORTH MAKES THE MAN. It is rare thing, we are sorry to admit, however, to find a really, commendable young colored boy, that when one is found, we are impelled to comment, hoping that the comment will not chagrin any other boy, but buoy them up and in spire and encourage them, everybody are watching the thrifty energetic, honest boy. Jesse Mann has a boy whom we believe is worthy of praise, he is very manerly, courteous and energetic, he will be a credit to his parents and to society, it shows that he has been well trained. He is now in school and works at the New Colored Drug Store. Other boys can be as good and as reliable as young Mann. Train your boy and act well before him. The Republican candidate, Dr. John A. Wheeler, has done the proper thing, he has opened a nice convenient headquarters where he can see the people and make a thorough campaign. He is in a position to see everyone who has business with him and get reports and impart information. As sheriff of this county he should make the best we ever had, if he will assure this and assure the Colored voter that the colored race will be recognized and that we will get not only recognition but the right kind and proper proportion, every Negro in the County will and should support him. If there be any misunderstanding or differences between any candidates and any considerable number of colored people let them see each other and reconcile them, if possible, that is the only sensible way and remedial method to take. If a certain portion of certain people find they can't conscientiously support any man, Republican, Progressive, or Democrat, they have that privilege, but let us all be honest and consistent. Dr. John A. Wheeler 1 In an article which was run in the Forum last week on the editorial page, on account of the omission of a part of the article, is misleading and makes the Forum appear antagonistic to Dr. Wheeler's candidacy, when in fact, we are supporting For County ATTORNEY ROBB [DEMOCRAT] I promise justice, I every person alike, irrespe- ality or color.

ANDREW RUSSEL, Clifford Quisenberry In the selection of Mr. Cli the candidates of the lower h who has a good reputation. his constituents and a man in fidence reposed. ANDREW RUSSEL, of Jacksonville Clifford Quisenberry for the Legislature In the selection of Mr. Clifford Quisenberry as one of the candidates of the lower house, the people chose a man who has a good reputation. A man who stands well with his constituents and a man in whom there is implicit confidence reposed. Mr. Quisenberry is now County Treasurer of Logan County and no man in Lincoln has aught to say against him. He comes highly endorsed by the colored people. The people of the 28th senatorial district, comprising the Counties of Lngan, DeWitt and Macon. You may be well assured that if elected he will stand for the best there is in legislation. the Doctor, and believe him to be the best fitted man for the place. The article in question, as printed read; Dr. Wheeler, in order to get a considerable portion of the negro vote must assure the negroes that they may stop in Auburn and that Negroes will get recognition as deputies and janitors, etc., in case he is elected. These are the demands now current. Now, the truth about the matter, on investigation, we find to be this: That the above charge or apparent charge, is without foundation in fact; that Dr. Wheeler is, and always has been, very broad and fair on the race question; that colored people have lived in Auburn and were employed by Dr. Wheeler and that Dr. Wheeler is the only man who did employ colored people at Auburn. By his past friendliness, we know we shall always have a friend in Dr. Wheeler. You can't beat Pruitt for county superintendent of schools his work is a good record and a splendid testimonial.

A program has been arranged which will be novel and unique. Rev. Wright of Buffalo was in the city Thursday. Congressman O'Hair of the 18th (Caunons) district is going about denouncing Cannon and praising the progressives. Why don't he tell the people what he has done, or at least what he has tried to do while he was at Washington? These our fellow democrats have a peculiar way of campaigning, at Kankakee, he did not say anything good of his party, but was lauding the Progressives. At Decatur Raymond Robbins spoke and is figuring on getting the democratic support What sort of campaign are these fellows making? The democrats are afraid to cross out the progressives, because tqey had been thinking that the progressives would take only from the republicans, now the Bull Moosers claim that 100,000 democrats will support them. So the democrats do not know just which direction in which to fire. "Colored men wanted" for U. S. Army, is seen in conspicuous places now. Well; we do not know how to advise.
