($1.50 per Year in Advance Published Weekly in Springfield and Peoria Historical Society state House, THI VOL. 11. NO. 49 (Single Copy, 5e. 6 Months, 80 Published WILLIAMS MAKE STATEMENT. I only wish to say this concerning the recent indictment against me in connection with the $4000.00 transaction between one Firmin C. Brown and me. For more than one year Chas. S. Gibbs, his attorney, and Mr. Brown have sought to bring about this indictment and have subpoenaed everybody before the Grand Jury who knew any thing about it than Chas. S. Gibbs, and the Grand Jury failed to return an indictment because of insufficient evidence. Mr. Gibbs and his attorney who looks after his business for him, Mr. Putting and myself at their suggestion have been conferring with reference to me taking the Brown Hotel back and paying Brown all the moneys he paid on same to me, less what he received, which I agreed to do but Brown would never come together and figure same up or perhaps Gibbs, who is the only one of the attorneys who can talk with him. never fairly and squarely presented the matter to him. On last Wednesday there was a session held with the view of getting together on the poposition at which time the Grand Jury was in session. Mr. Putting was out of town and I sought to confer with Gibbs on the matter. I went to his office and called him up several times, and to everybodys surprise, he knew nothing about the matter between Brown and me of which he could truthfully testify, was before the Grand Jury giving testimony purely for the purpose of forcing me to a settlement. I desire to say, especially to my friends, they might as well forget all about the whole affair because there will be nothing to it. This same $4000.00 they speak of, I have Brown's check for which he signed and took the money out of the bank himself after the same had been deposited to his credit. The whole affair grows out of Gibbs' efforts to crush me and aid those who would humiliate me on account of my residence in Hawthorne Hill Brown could have settled long ago without him. Very truly yours, A. M. WILLIAMS JAMES HALE PORTER FOR STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEEMAN. James Porter, of the first district of Chicago, is out for State Central Committeeman. Mr. Porter is a Colored man and has been an assiduous worker in the G. O. P. for 30 years and the Colored people will be pleased to see him and the race thus recognized. We commend his candidacy to the people of the 1st. BLOOMINGTON. ILL. BLOOMINGTON. ILL. The Social Center is progressing very nicely and has made ostensible improvements. Joe Brown's Barber Shop appears, at times, like a theological seminary. The new church will be quite an improvement to the religious world. The move by the Social Center whereby employment will be given Colored people will be a big boom for Colored people and will increase the Colored population. The wet and dry fight will be waged. Some say the wets will win while others think they have no chance. TAXES. TAXES. TAXES. Taxes are now due and payable at this office.

DECATUR IS NOT SATISFIED DRY Lincoln is one of the most prosperous small towns in the state, if she is not disturbed by the voting out of saloons, her future is great. It really does not pay to have dry spots. Look the matter over and give it a fair consideration, even church people would prefer orderly saloons to "blind pigs." It has been proven that where a city is dry and the towns nearby are wet, the women have more trouble keeping their husbands at home than where a man can secure what he desires. If the Lincoln people desire their their taxes not to increase and fire protection to decrease, vote to stay as you are. In saloons colored people in Lincoln dram over $2,000 per annum as porters and helpers. Remember these things. JOE CAMPBELL SENTENCED TO HANG APRIL 21ST.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916 There is a tendency among some of the officials in this state and even in Sangamon Co. to foster and promulgate a false doctrine or "holier than I" doctrine. In Chicago Mayor Thompson has made, in less than one year, a phenomenal record, yet he is constantly nagged and maligned by a coterie of fellows and some of the newspapers; in Sangamon Co. where we have had all kinds of trouble and where all factions had been eliminated, a great howl was made about certain men being for law enforcement and, saying by innuendo, that others on the board of Supervisors, were against law enforcement, when in fact, members of the Board of Supervisors have nothing to do with law enforcement at all. Our sheriff, if he is conscientious and only carrying out his sworn duty, why hail him, "O king live forever?" The people are not "mad" at him for closing the saloons on Sunday. If he has done a moral act and accomplished good by abolishing the "line" he will be credited for it. There is some question as to whether it is a good idea or not—is small pox cured by isolation or a promiscuous distribution. We desire to be fair. There is no sense in trying to fool the women and the churches. Don't brand everybody anti-law enforcement who fail to agree with you along certain lines of methodical procedure only. Be fair because only pure gold will stand the acid test. Like Banquo's ghost the truth will not down. Dr. J. A. Wheeler, sheriff of Sangamon Co. is still reforming. The last move was to take out all slot machines and stop card playing for "fun" in saloons. It is also believed that all shows will be closed on Sunday. Homer J. Tice and Mr. Russell will contest for delegates to the National Republican Convention Mr. Davis, a meteoric politician from Chicago, was in the city this week on business. LINCOLN ILL. AND LIQUSR QUESTION LINCOLN ILL. AND LIQUSR QUESTION In the approaching election the attention of the voters is called to this question from a purely economic view point. Well conducted saloons are not necessarily a menace and are not detrimental, in fact a town situated as Lincoln is better off with orderly regulated saloons than she would be "dry"—Why? Well there is Springfield, Peoria and Mt. Pulaski within a radius, each of less than 40 miles, making it easy for Lincoln people to go and not only spend money for liquors, but also other money which would be spent in Lincoln. Also many persons will go and stay for two or three days and get into other pitfalls, therefore it will be more beneficial to retain your saloons and retain your employment and the license money. LINCOLN, ILL. Special by Staff Correspondent The new Baptist church is progressing finely. Mr. John Rouse, of Evans farm, has been suffering from the effects of lagrippe. There will be quite a live fight for collectors and supervisors. Mr. G. Thompson will be a candidate for the General Assembly. Mrs. Daisy Farmer and Mr. Archie Thomas were united in marriage at the home of the brides mother, 441 W. 9th St. after which refreshments were served. The marriage was solomized by the Rev. P. W. Fields. Rev. Fields went to officiate at the funeral of possible the oldest person in central Ill. Mrs. Frances McDonald, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fant, of Mt. Pulaski, Mrs Mc Donald was 112 years old. Jacksonvill's bonded indebtedness is $150,000. She is lighting her streets with small lamps, boot legging is plentiful, why should Lincoln, with her fine streets, plenty of lights and orderly saloons go dry and revert to such a cobdition or worse? Champaign is full of boot leggers and can not boast of any more order than Lincoln. Vote to retain your good standing, Lincoln people.

READ THE FORUM ALL KINES OF FIRST CLASS JOB PRINTING At a Very Low Price SHOE SHOP A large number of Colored people donated to the fund to aid the Jews of Poland, who are starving on account of being in the war zone of Europe. Mr. Robert Taylor of the State Historical Society, headed the list and secured donations. The Colored people have a kindly feeling toward the Jew because the Hebrew nationality have always been the Colored man's sincerest friend and benefactor. Among the Jews as a class or mass, there is no racial prejudice. The Jew, like the Colored man, has been oppressed and was once held in bondage in Egypt, by Pharoh's edict, but was liberated by Moses. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago is a staunch friend true and tried of the Colored race, and the Negroes were glad of an opportunity to reciprocate. FOR SALE: LIFE AND WORKS of the late Dr. Booker T.
