WACO HORROR STIRS TO ACTION N. A. A. C. P. OPENS SUBSCRIPTION TO $10,000 ANTI-LYNCHING FUND, TWO THOUSAND ALREADY PLEDGED. ALL WELL THINKING PEOPLE AROUSED ON ACCOUNT IN-ACTIVITY OF OFFICIALS TO PUNISH MURDERERS. ALL LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS OF N. A. A. C. P. AND CITIZENS WHO BELIEVE IN RIGHT AND JUSTICE ARE CALLED UPON TO RISE IN RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION AND CALL A HALT ON THIS BARBARIC TREATMENT OF THE NEGRO OF THE UNITED STATES. VOL. V. NO. 13 WACO HO STIRST N. A. A. O. P. OPENS SUBSCRIB ING FUND, TWO THOUSAN WELL THINKING PEOPLE ACTIVITY OF OFFICIALS T LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS OF WHO BELIEVE IN RIGHT UPON TO RISE IN RIGHTE A HALT ON THIS BARBARIC OF THE UNITED STATES. Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco-Horror" have just been distributed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for ah anti-lynching fund of ten thousand dollars has been launched. Immediately upon hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for barbarity surpasses anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moorfield Storey, National President of the Association, and formerly president of the American Bar Association, and Mr. Philip G. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered to contribute $1,000 toward such a fund on condition that the remaining $8,000 be raised by August 1. The N. A. A. C. P. sent a special investigator from National headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, who commenced gathering evidence in Waco, Texas, where burning occurred, within forty-eight hours after the lynching. Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names and addresses of the ring-leaders and the failure of both the judge and sheriff to make the slightest effort to protect their prisoner. The Association is bending every effort to secure a distinguished Texas lawyer with courage enough to bring the case against these murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair. Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is un for reelection at the Democratic primary in July. His opponent, Buchanan, though illiterate, has "three dead niggers to his credit," and is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and cultivators for the hardware store, Sam needed a lynching to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday, May 8, came just at the right time. A GOOD TIME IS GUARANTEED AT MONTESANO Owing to the good time that every one had on a previous occasion, the "Academy Boys and Girls" have been requested by the public to give another all day steamboat excursion to Montana Springs, on the beautiful steamer Grey Eagle, Monday morning, July 24, 1916. Music will be furnished by the Great Western Band. The boat will leave the foot of Olive Street, at 9 a.m. Officiera: Robert Anderson, Ernest Moore, Harley Walker, Walter Fearance, Joe Davia, Paul Robinson, Alonzo Thomas, Roscoe Reed, Walter Carter, Jesse J. Johnson, Master of Cepmagnies. MME. MOTIN AT LANE TABERNACLE SUNDAY Munc. Frances E. Motin, the talented dramatist reader and impersonator, after an extended trip through the South, West and East, returns to the city with a greater determination to do more in the future than in the past. Aside from her regular engagements she doing much good in helping the churches. Madam Motin has kindly consented and will render one of her choice selections entitled, "Belahazzar's Feast." Sunday moring at 11 o'clock, Lane Tabernaele C. M. E. Church. All are invited and are welcome Rev. N. L. Smith, the pastor, will preach Sunday night. SAYS POLICE AND FIREMEN ASSAULTED HIM ASSAULTED HIM N. A. Robinson, 4274 Finney, says he was attached at Jefferson and Walnut, the night of July 4, by a gang of white men who had followed him from the Market Street car. Robinson was on his way to the theater and had been remanded with someone who had spoken insultingly to his wife, who are companioned him. He claimed a tattered cycle policeman and three women from engine house No. 10, joined in the attack. He was badly brained about head and arm, was armed but released without charge. The St. Louis Argus Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, confessed to both murder and rape. His trial was set for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened, 1,500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury box; and 2,000 more waited in the court yard. The District Judge of the Criminal Court, R. I. Munroe, elbowed his way to his desk, and the boy was brought from his chambers where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called, the crowd yelled, "We don't need any jury!" but the trial was allowed to be hurried through. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder and assessed his punishment as death. The defendant had waived his legal rights, and would have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a pause of a full minute. The court stenographer slipped out with his records. Sheriff Fleming sneaked out, too. Then a big fellow in the back of the court room yelled, "Get the nigger!" They took him before the court. had pronounced judgment without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he wouldn't choke too soon, and then those lugging at it broke it, the driver of the Anheuser-Brewery truck who led the rabble, wound it around his own wrist rather than take chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come a long way to attend this party and they didn't want it to end in a minute. Everybody was happy; they shouted and sang like a bunch of fans at a ball game, according to a Waco paper. When the boy's clothes had been cut up and distributed as souvenirs there (Continued on page four.) Laundry Opening Decided Success Laundry Opening Decided Success The opening of the Accurate Laundry & Cleaning Company, on Wednesday, July 5, was a howling success. At a given signal, the current was turned on and the rows of machinery began a musical hum and the new laundry was an accomplished fact. Everything was in its place and went forward according to schedule under the efficient manager, Mr. R. Herbert Stanton. All day long a strong of visitors poured in and out of the building and were loud in their praises of the plant and the plan of operation. Mr. Stanton was assisted in receiving the crowds by Mrs. Thornton and by his genial wife, who will be the bookkeeper for the new eneerer. Every visitor was given an American Beauty rose on departing. The manager announces that the new concern starts in with several large contracts, besides the bundles began to arrive even before the plant was open for business. It is a safe prediction that the new laundry will be a howling success, if the first day is to be taken as a criterion. Y. M. C. A. The total of the Building Fund of the Young Men's Christian Association is now $11,300. Last week the men of the Association made a strong pull to get across the $11,000 mark. When the pull was hardest and the fund was $185 short of $11,000, three gentlemen put in part of their subscriptions to make up the deficit. Mr. Ed. Wilkinson put in $50.00, Dr. Perry $50.00, Dr. T. A. Curtin, $35.00, and Mr. W. C. Gordon $50.00. On the next morning, Dr. A. W. Cheatham put in the first $100.00 on the $12,000. Now the men are working to make $12,000 by the 15th of July. Some of the men are giving fine service in helping get in the money for the new building. Mr. Fred Blair is setting a fine pace by giving two days a week of his vacation time in the interest of the fund. The men around the Association say that Mr. Blair is no poor collector. The committee on the lot is still building in an effort to get the new building located and it is hoping to finish this task in a very short time. In the meantime every subscriber should pay on his subscription so that enough money may be on hand to pay for the ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JULY 7,1916. BLACK BROS. MUST HANG Friday, July 14. Set as Day for Execution Unless Governor Interferes. Petition Being Prepared for Executive Clemency. Boys Say They are Not Gullity. Harry and Andrew Black, are in jail at St. Charles, Mo., under death sentence for the murder of police officers Dave Lamb and John Blair. It will be remembered that the crime for which these men are to pay the death penalty, was committed over two and one-half years ago, and according to the story told by these boys they shot in self-defense. It is said that the day when the crime was committed that the two Black boys, together with another man, had been drinking with a crowd of men, when someone discharged a pistol. The case was reported to police, in the meanwhile, the two Black boys and their companion having started to leave town. The officers in search of the men overtook them near the railroad station, where they were going to leave the town. According to testimony the officers, when they approached the men commanded them to throw up their hands, which they did, and it is claimed that the officers fired on them while their hands were up, wounding both of the Black boys and killing their companion. By that time the policemen were close enough to allow a hand to hand combat, and were overcome by the prisoners, who, during the struggle, it is supposed, killed the officers, being severely wounded themselves. They were subsequently arrested, convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung on July 14, 1916. A representative of the Argus made an investigation, and found the people at St. Charles not so bitter in their feeling toward the condemned men, and many said they would be willing to sign a petition to have their sentences commuted to life imprisonment. There is much doubt whether those boys received a fair and unprejudiced trial. The Supreme Court In passing on the case the state Supreme Court commented thus: The Supreme Court comments that no mention of the past life of the defendants appeared in the testimony. There was no instruction as to murder in the second degree. There was no such instruction asked for by defendants, nor was the failure so to instruct mentioned in the motion for a new trial. Governor Appealed To Governor Major has been appealed to that he might grant a respite for 30 days, which is customary, and if he does a strong petition will be sent asking clemency. Your Duty It is the duty of every lover of humanity to send a letter to the governor, asking him to interfere with the execution. These boys are friendless and had they friends or money they no doubt would not be under death sentence. Their Statement "If we are guilty we ought to die, but the Lord knows that we are not guilty of the charge against us, and there are people in this town who know that we did not get justice."

INFORMER SPEAKS OF MISSOURI KNIGHTS PYTHIAS Fraternal Organ of Philadelphia Commends Work of A. W. Loyd, as Grand Chancellor. Warns Members of Backward Step and Incratitude. The white citizens of St. Louis, Mo. were perfectly satisfied for the Negro to live anywhere in the city that his money would permit while the city was in its infancy, struggling for a place among the first cities of the country. The Negro in a large measure has aided materially in bringing St Louis up to its present standard. In all of this the white man had no objection whatever. But as soon as it acquired the desired standing among other cities of the country, the usefulness of the Negro became a thing of the past, and the best reward he received was a segregation law and other attempts at discrimination acts. It appears that the members of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, have fallen in the wake of their white constituencies much to the regret of the members of their sister states. A. W Lloyd the Grand Chancellor, whom it cannot be denied took hold of the order in Missouri, when it was buried under the weight of human selfishness, but his racial and fraternal pride, backed up that sagacity that permeates within all generals, caused him to take the reins of government and go forward like a gale of wind traveling at the rate of sixty miles an hour until he brought the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri to a station on progressive's railway where she is justified in boasting that we trail behind none. This accomplished, the Grand Lodge of Missouri, prompted by selfish ambition, as it cannot be attributed to anything else, enacted a law which will force his retirement, after a life's efforts to the end that some personally ambitious fellow, who has spent neither time nor money, or given thought to enhance the perpetuity of the order will enjoy the fruits of A. W. Lloyd's labor. If other grand jurisdictions follow in the wake of Missouri, the time is not far distant when the order will drift back to a similar position that it was in when the late S. W. Starks made his appearance on the Pythian. horizon. It cannot be denied that all grand jurisdictions that have accomplished and own anything are those jurisdictions who have adopted the law to only dispense of a good man's service when he says he cannot or will not serve any longer. But every one knows that among certain men in every fraternity are those jammed full of ingratitude. What fools these mortals be. If they could see them selves as others see them, they would go way back and hide their heads in shame But, anon!—Fraternal Informer, Philadelphia, Pa. A PREPAREDNESS RECEPTION The Rev. Dr. B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Methodist A. M. E. Zion Church is arranging to have a big preparedness reception at his church July 18, 1916. This preparedness reception is for the purpose of getting together all of the leaders and laboring men in every walk of life in St. Louis, so that we might be able to present a solid front as a race against any injustice or discrimination that might come against it. He said that the things that ought to be done in St. Louis need a united citizenship to carry them out. He also said that this preparedness reception is being given for the purpose of uniting every faction of leadership in the city, that we all might be together to push one another in business and otherwise. He, therefore, invites the following people in the various walks of life. Ministers of every denomination, lawyers, doctors, politicians, school teachers, dentists, newspaper men and all other business men, however small or large his business may be, from the banker to the white wing force on the street. This will serve as an invitation to one and all. Do not forget the day, Tuesday, July 18. All will be served free. NEWS AGENT FIRED A news agent at the east end of the Union Station, is now looking for a job as a result of coming in contact with Mr. J. M. Hall, of 406 Montrose Ave. According to Mr. Halls' statement, he was walking in the midway of the station Monday, and as he passed the newsstand, he stopped to look at the paperstore, whereupon the upstart salesman proceeded to throw out insulting remarks. Mr. Hall reported the matter to those in authority at the station who immediately took the matter up with the general news agent, Mr. Fox, who called on the subordinate in the presence of Mr. Hall and after upbringing him, fired the subordinate and complimented Mr. Hall for reporting the GARDEN OF MIRTH OPENS GARDEN OF MIRTH OPENS The Garden of Mirth was opened to the public last Monday night, as was scheduled. A large number of people took advantage of this outdoor garden and presented themselves there for pleasure: Among the attractions seen were howling alleys, hooplap, flying horses, dancing pavilion, merry-go-round and many other booths with the popular plays and inducements. Manager McClusky stated that he was well pleased with the crowds thus far and it was his intention to give the public all that has been promised. The Garden of Mirth will be open each night. The location is ideal at Market and Cardinal. AT PORO COLLEGE AT PORO COLLEGE The executive staff of "Poro" College returned last Sunday afternoon, bringing greetings from Memphis, Jackson, Chattanooga and Nashville, Tenn., Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Bessemer and Aniston, Ala., also a number of small towns in which there are "Poro" agents. Nevgr before in the history of this institution has such great work been done, and so much accomplished as was on this four weeks' expedition. "Poro" agents throughout the South have been greatly benefited by the numerous demonstration meetings conducted by Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone, in order that they might give their many customers the best that is in "Poro" System. Her lectures to them aroused an inspiration, which will no doubt be everlasting. Although several thousand agents feel that they can now go right on with the work of the system, in the same manner as their leader, yet a desire for her early return was expressed by all, and a special request was made for the return of "Poro" College motion, pictures, which arrived just in time for exhibition last Monday evening at Central Baptist Church. The proprietors found business in very good shape on their return, which had been managed by Mr. Martin-Lewis, during their absence. His report was excellent and he states his stay was a most pleasant one. Date for Universal Outing Set Date for Universal Outing Bet Thursday, July 27, was selected for the general "Poro" outing, day for all "Poro" workers, throughout the entire country. The college and its coworkers will have their outing at O'Fallon Park, Grounds 3, and are expecting it to be one of the best pleasure features of the season. All "Poro" patrons and any persons desiring to go are invited to be with them on this date. Refreshments free. Will leave the college at 10 a.m. prompt.

Will Locate School in One of the Finest Residences on Fashionable West End Boulevard. Rapid Rise Demonstrates Thrift, Persistency and Business Tact. MADAM EVELYN HORTON Mr. Editor: I take this method of giving to my many friends an account of my trip through the South and East. Through the courtesy and invitation of Dr. Jass G. Robinson, of Arkansas, who held a series of evangelistic meetings in St. Louis, I went to Arkansas, and visited many points in that state, where I lectured at churches, schools, district conferences, colleges and lodges, and did much to establish my business in that state. There are many pretty and prosperous cities and towns in Arkansas where our people are doing well. Many of them are wealthy. At Helena, Arkansas, I was met by Dr. R. A. Williams, the leading physician of the city, and Supreme President of the Royal Circle of Friends, one of the largest fraternal orders in the South, and through him was given a splendid stopping place. While in Helena I added a number of agents to my already large army of women who are making a success handling HORTON A preparations, and cultivating the hair by the Evelyn Horton System of hair culture. I visited the District Conference off the Helena District by the invitation of the presiding elder, Dr. L. S. Overer, at Murvell, Arkansas. I addressed the conference and made a number of agents and from there I visited several other points, including Stuttgart and Clarendon, which are two of Arkansas' important towns. There I addressed the people in the churches and also the children at the public schools and made several agents. I horribly advertised my business. My visit in the state was at the district conference, of which Dr. Robinson is president. Here I addressed the conference, and my work was indorsed, and I made a number of agents, and bade good-byes to Arkansas to come home, coming more than a week earlier than I had contemplated to play the role of Herodias in "John the Baptist." After a week or so at home, I decided to go to Philadelphia and attend the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church. While at the conference I met many distinguished men and women from all parts of the country. I made the acquaintance and formed the friendship of many, which I feel will be lasting. The General Conference was a great body, and an inspiration to all race-loving people. I like Philadelphia. I like it for the freedom of thought, and of action which one can exercise. I was entertained lavishly by some of the leading people of the city. I can never forget the hospitality and loyalty of the people of Baltimore, Md. I also had the pleasure of meeting and being entertained by Miss Marie A. D. Madre, if Washington, D. C., who is a lawyer if distinction, and president of the largest literary society conducted by Negroes in the United States. The greatest orators of the country have spoken before this society, such persons as Kelly-Miller, Theodore Roosevelt, Booker T. Washington, Bishop Turner, Grover Cleveland, Henry Lincoln, Johnson and many others. Miss Madre has given me an invitation to address that body. I taught my course to women in Philadelphia and Baltimore, Md., and thus partially started an invasion of the East for HORTON A preparations, and the Evelyn Horton System of Hair and Beauty Culture. Aside from the work I did, I had as some pleasure as well. I went out on a boat excursion, the boat being owned by a Colored man, and piloted her regularly licensed Negro pilots. We except down the river, past the well known Fort McHenry and on into the Cheesapeake Bay. M for nothing (Continued on page four) Pere College Co., 3100 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. M. C.

ZOUIS ARGUS Word About — Nathan Frank not by their words. A man’é real at- titude toward: anything is determined vory largely from what he has done with reference thereto in times prior to the period when it is to his personal in- terest to appear favorable toward it. Therefore, words said in the light of ‘an approaching election at which a candidate seeks the votas of the people’ ‘are not ta be given the weight oF credibility attached to his acts and sayings in relation thereto covering a number of years before. ‘Unfortunate as it is, one of the most vital questions which the Negro voter| in this country must consider is wheth- er or not the man seeking the benef, of his suffrage is a safe man to in- trust with his (the ‘Negro’s) interests ‘and liberty. Will he be fair? Will he favor discrimination and injustice to- wards tho black man because of his color? These aro the questions which, the Negro voter asks himself in addi: tion to those which his white brother has to.aak, and their determination in, ‘a sense favorable to himself will nearly always determine how the Negro will vote or for whom. This is ai it should be and is simply following the old Inw of self-defense. In determining these questions the Negro should know, and does not ask that aman be a special. friend to his race. All he can ask is that those who seek his vote are broad- gauged, fair-minded men, in sympathy with and just to all human beings and is in fall accord withthe spirit of dor mocracy and fair-play as set forth in the fundamental Jaws and principles of our great country. If the man happens ‘to be especially friendly toward the Nogro,.s0 much the better; but he should not make that a condition of his support. ‘ ‘Mr. Frank's Record Hon. Nathan Frank, of St. Louis, is & candidate for the office cf United States Senator from Missouri, subject to the Republican prinfaries, August 1, and is asking the suffrage of all Repub- licans and those who are friendly to the things for which he stands. ‘The ques tions above indicated naturally arise in the mind of the Negro voter with refer- ence to him. What is their'answert ‘Mr, Frank hes lived in“ Bt. Louis from his youth up, having received his education in the schools of this city. He grew to manhood and began the practice of law in St. Louis where he now enjoys one of the most lucrative practices in the city and radke as one of its best lawyers.

It is about time for Mr. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, to explain as to his apologetic attitude on the discriminating treatment received by his wife in the Pullman cars. Mr. Moton, it would seem, is the white man's choice for the Negroes' leader, and to be that with white men who are filled with bitterest race feeling, you must cater to their relentless and unfaltering prejudices on the race question. Prof. Moton is a man of unusual ability and mental compass, and, in this regard none better than he could have been chosen to preside over Tuskegee; but!—he has been overshadowed by a dominance of race feeling too strong for him to overcome; and, to live under it, he must acquiesce in "Jim Crow" cars, disfranchisement, segregation, and shut his eyes against, the light of the flames by which lynchers are consuming some Negro alive, right in nearby surroundings. Will Prof. Moton explain? Dare he explain? If he dare not then it shows how thick is the black cloud which overhangs the Negro in this country and how easy it is to corrupt the strongest intellect and pallure it with the race feelings that have cursed some of the American people for hundreds of years.

FIGHTING MITCHELL TAKES HIS HOLE According to an account that appeared in The Richmond Planet, John Mitchell, Jr., who is editor, and is known as "Fighting Mitchell" has cowardly withdrawn his charges against the Police officers who, as he put it, "outrageously treated him" when he was arrested sometime ago. In his letters to the Police commissioners, Mitchell states that at the earnest solicitation of many white friends, he decided to withdraw the charges against the accused officers and vindicating them of any wrong. The Police commissioners at their first meeting refused to dismiss the charges against the officers, and it was only after Editor Mitchell came before, them and begged and put up a pitiful tale when the charges dropped. Thus were the officers vindicated and licensed to do the same thing again. We regret very much that a man of Mr. Mitchell's standing as an editor and banker were forced or volunteered to take such a course under the circumstances.

LOUIS ARGUS WACO HORROR ```markdown ``` Continued from page one were not enough pieces to go around so somebody cut off an ear for his keep sake. The "Waco Times Herald" published the same afternoon said: "On the way to the scene of the burning people on every hand took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the negro with anything obtainable; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up his body was a solid color of red the blood of many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot." They took Washington to a tree on the City Hall lawn just outside the window of his honor, the mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Gilder sleeve, the photographer to whom we are indebted for our cuts. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit, this bloody thing was hoisted into the air where everyone would have a full view. A manicurist who works for Goldstein & Mingle, whose windows look out on the square, told the investigator she saw them unsex the lad. As the chain tightened around his neck, this half-dead creature reached up, convulsively to grab it, so they cut his fingers off. The "Waco Times Herald" makes no bones of it. "Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, toes, and other parts of the Negro's body were cut off by members of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every other building that commanded a sight of the burning, and as the negro's body commenced to burn, shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way their satisfaction. . . . " The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the remains of the fire. "Women and children who desired to view the scene were allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on." says the newspaper account. One father, when questioned about the propriety of holding his little son on his shoulder where he could get a good view, is reported as saying: "My son can't learn too young the proper way to treat a nigger." At twelve o'clock the crowd adjourned for lunch, as usual; but by a quarter past one some of the boys were back to continue the fun. A cowboy who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassoing the corpse and riving all over town with the remains dangling at the end of his lariat. When the head bounced off as he galloped through the "reservation." the ghetto where the Negroes and prostitutes are segregated, some little boys set it up on one of the doorsteps and extracted the loose teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as five dollars apiece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs. The few fragments which held together till night, the undertaker was able to chuck into a very small ash can. Waco is a center of American culture in Texas, a great southern college town. It is a Christian city of 40,000 population boasting thirty-nine white and twenty-four colored churches. Yet no responsible voice was raised in protest that bloody Monday, and only one has been since. Those who believe that a cry to heaven should be raised against this and every lynching, by legal prosecution, by publicity, by co-operation with the host white element of the south, by political agitation, are urged to assist the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to raise this $10,000 anti-lynching fund before August 1. Contributions should be sent to Owald Garrison Villard, treasurer, at the national headquarters of the organization, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Boy Nash, Secretary. ```markdown ``` THE WACO MOB THE T THE TREE THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1916 According to the record kept by the Division of Records and Research of the Tukeagee Institute there have been during the first six months of the year 25 lynchings. This is 9 less than the number, 34, for the same period last year. Of those lynched 23 were Negroes and 2 were whites. In the first six months of 1915 there were 24 negroes and 10 whites lynched. Five, or one-fifth of those put to death, were charged with rape. Other causes of lynchings were, slapping a boy, brushing against a girl on the street, insult, charged with attempting to assist son accused of murder to escape, robbing store, killing officers of the law, and murder. Eight or almost one-third of the total lynchings occurred in the state of Georgia. Very truly yours, Monroe N. Work, Division of Records and Research.

LOUIS ARGUS 1 ```markdown ``` WACO HORROR were not enough pieces to go around, so somebody cut off an ear for his kippo sake. The "Waco Times Herald" published the same afternoon said: "On the way to the scene of the burning people on every hand took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the negro, with anything obtainable; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up his body was a solid color of red, the blood of many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot." They took Washington to a tree on the City Hall lawn just outside the window of his honor, the mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Gilder sleeve, the photographer to whom we are indebted for our cuts. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit, this bloody thing was hoisted into the air where everyone would have a full view. A manicurist who works for Goldstein & Mingle, whose windows look out on the square, told the investigator she saw them unsex the lad. As the chain tightened around his neck, this half-dead creature reached up convulsively to grab it, so they cut his fingers off. The "Waco Times Herald" makes no bones of it. "Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, it, toes, and other parts of the Negro's body were cut off by members of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every other building that commanded a sight of the burning, and as the negro's body commenced to burn, shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently everybody, demonstrated in some way their satisfaction. . . . " The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the remains of the fire. "Women and children who desired to view the scene were allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on." says the newspaper account. One father, when questioned about the propriety of holding his little son on his shoulder where he could get a good view, is reported as saying: My son can learn too young the proner way to treat a nigger." At twelve o'clock the crowd adjourned for lunch, as usual; but by a quarter past one some of the bova were back to continue the fun. A cowboy who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassosing the corpse and riding all over town with the remains dangling at the end of his lairist. When the head bounced off as he galloped through the "reservation," the ghetto where the Negroes and prostitutes are segregated, some little boys set it up on one of the doorsteps and extracted the loose teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as five dollars apiece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs. The few fragments which held together till night, the undertaker was able to chuck into a very small ash can. Waco is a center of American culture in Texas, a great southern college town. It is a Christian city of 40,000 population beating thirty-nine white and twenty-four colored churches. Yet no responsible voice was raised in protest that bloody Monday, and only one has been since. Those who believe that a cry to heaven should be raised against this and every launch, by legal prosecution, by publicity, by co-operation with the best white element of the south, by political agitation, are urged to assist the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to raise this $10,000 anti-livestock fund before August 1. Contributions should be sent to Oswald Garrison Villard, treasurer, at the national headquarters of the organization. 70 Fifth Avenue, New York.

This is 9 less than the number, 34, for the same period last year. Of those lynchied 23 were Negroes and 2 were whites. In the first six months of 1915 there were 24 negroes and 10 whites lynched. Five, or one-fifth of those put to death, were charged with rape. Other causes of lynchings were, slapping a boy, brushing against a girl on the street, insult, charged with attempting to assist son accused of murder to escape, robbing stone, killing officers of the law, and murder. Eight or almost one-third of the total lynchings occurred in the state of Georgia. Very truly yours, Monroe N. Work, Division of Records and Research.

This epiatie 1s probably one of the earliest of Paul's letters (A. D. 50-532). It links itself closely with the seven- teenth chapter of the Book of Acts. Driven rogeperes, Paul goes'to Ath- ens and to Corinth, while Tim- othy returns to Thessalonica and car ries @ report to Paul, at Corinth, Whereupon, perhaps within ax months, Paul writes his epistle. A study of the two letters addressed to this church teaches us how Paul ad- vised and instructed his Gentile con- verts. The first is a particularly cheer- ful, positive and helpful exhortation. 1, Thankagiving and. Teatimony..(1: 1-90; 2:17-20). (1) Salutation (1:1) ‘The phrase, “the church of the Thes- salonians. which is in God” is nowhere else used. Some think it to be unique because Paul had so little to condemn or to criticize. ‘The deity of Jesus Christ and that grace and peace pro- ceed from God is clearly set ‘forth. (2) Thankegiving (vy. 2 and/3) (a) For works of faith; (b) for their “labor of love,” and (c) thelr “pa- tlence” (endurance), That these works were “in the sight of God” is evidence of thelr genuineness, and such spiritual fruftage awakened (3) Knowledge in Paul's mind (v. 4). ‘They were “elected” to salvation, holl- ness and likeness to Jesus (vv, 59; I Pet 1:2;. Eph. 1:4, 5; Rom. 8:29). (4) Testimony (vv. 6-10). Paul could appeal to the known conduct of him- self and his friends to substantiate, to prove, the standing of those candi- dates for holiness who lad been “elect- ed." His words had not come to them fn mere exhortation and eloquence but “also in: power,” which governed their conduct, This was not to win ap- plause, but in his own case he labored for their sakes (v. 5) and in their case they had received the word “with foy" Inthe midst of affliction to the end that they became examples (pat- terns or types; literally, like the. far echoing notes of a trumpet) (¥. 7)-to all that dwelt in the regions. there- about. Their obedience, consistency and milssionary spirit (vv. 810) sound- Fed forth everywhere and all that weeded to be done was to say, “Behold the church of Thessalonica!” (5) Pael’s gléry and ‘Joy (2:17-20). Paul sets forth his character as a Christian worker (2:1-16). (a) His physical boldness (vv. 1,2); (b) his faithful, tm- partial teaching (vv. 3-6), affectionate- ty kind (7,8), unselfish, working. for his own support (v. 9), holy and con- Aistent (13-16). No one “bad anything ‘on him,” and such a life dares to be bold, though it is not free from per- gecution (v. 15). (6) Paul's desire (2:17-20). He here-sets forth why this letter was written. Separated from them by persecution, he desires to return and supply the things they were yet lacking and to see face to face those whom he loved. Satan pre ‘vented (v, 18) doubtless using the bit- ter persecution stirred up against him. ‘He had therefore sent ‘Timothy from Berea to. comfort them (3:15), who “had made siich s good report (3:1-10) that it urged Paul to greater prayer + (vv, 11-13) on. their behalf. Ne Teiorance~ Mumined ~ (4:13-18). } Paul rebukes certain sins (4:1-12), ex- horting them to godlincss and to love one another. He then touches upon a doctrine which was one of his strongest reasons for writing to these Thessalonians. The, !mminent return of Christ had been strongly empha- sized, but in the months of Paul's ab- sence some of thelr number had died, died without seeing Christ's promised glory.” Would those who remained have any advantage over the dead saints when Christ should come? It is to set their thinking aright that Paul writes. This he does by outlining the great Gnd blessed hope of the church im {ts “rapture” st Christ's coming. ‘This is more clearly set forth here than anywhere else in the New Testa- ment. Those who mourned over de- parted loved ones are not to “sorrow aa those wio had no hope” Jesus the risen, everlasting Savior and king, 4s certainty ‘coming again tn his king: dom of glory, “with a-shout, with the | voice of the archangel.” Their sor-_ row ts not that of the world, for those departed are but “sleeping” and will | come back with Jesus when he comes. | ‘Together they who sleep aad we who | are alive shall be caught up “to moet | the Lord in the air,” all to dwell to,| gather “forevermore with the Lord. | “Paul's description of the events of ‘this second coming, this rapture of | the church, has not yet been fulfilled, | Dut he and the disciples were not mis-| taken as to ite nearness, its pond Silent Evangelism SS By REV. HOWARD W. POPE ofthe Monty Bitte Tate TEXT—And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.—Rev, 22:2. ‘The indiscriminate: use of tracts by those whose zeal exceeds their wis- dom has led many * Bood people to ff ‘question their val- G ue. It ts foolish, 1if 3 however, to allow, Bs our prejudice s against poor “f tracts to biind us ? to the value of P good ones, “and bes good ones can be oa had. The cholc- . est thoughts of ‘ the best writers can now be found in leaflet form, sand many a soul La has been awak- | ed by One ol 4 ened by one of these silent messengers which God has put into the hand at just the right LDOUDOR tprereennsinnsnecrseenennenrgrramenneru A man stepped into a street car {n New York, and before taking his seat fave. to each passenger a little card bearing the words, “Look to Jesus when tempted, when troubled, when dying.” One of the passengers care- fully read the card and put {t in his Pocket. As he left the car he sald to the giver, “Sir, when you gaye me this card I was on my way to.the fer ry, Intending to jump from the boat and drown myself. The death of my wife and son had robbed me of all de- sire to live, but this card has persuad- edsme to start life anew. Good-day, ‘and God bless you.” : ‘There is no such thing as chance in this world, and those who seek to be led-by-the Spirit often find themselves ‘messengers of mercy to some weary foul. A lady once traveled two hun- dred miles to tell the writer personal- ly how a card which he had given her had led to her conversion. ‘It tay in her bureau drawer, bearing its silent testimony from time to time as she read {t, until Gnally it led her’ to Christ. Some ministers make constant use of leaflets in their personal work. They open the way for conversation, And often they are better than words, for. a'soul urder conviction {s some ‘tmes disposed to quarrel, but one can- not quarrel with a tract. It never loses its temper, never answers back, and it sticks to what ft has sald. Be- sides, you can send a leaflet into many Places where you cannot go yourself. People in sorrow or sickness love to be remembered, and boys think more of a minister who occasionally gives them. a bright leaflet. A man wrote me that in a town where he had used, “Why a Boy Should Be a Christian,” forty-five people on thelr examination for church membership testified that they attributed their conversion main- ly to that leaftet, © Honsekeepers can use tracts to good advantage. Lay them on the parlor table that callers may read them while waiting. Often there is time enough for one to be converted while a lady is finishing her tollet. Give them to the milkman, the grocer, the post- man;:{nclose them in letters, library books and packages. Business men have fine opportunt- ties for this kind of work, A man once said, “I cannot speak in meeting, but if you will supply me with choice reading fatter, -I will pay for {t and inclose it in the packages which go out of-my store.” “Recently “a” cus- tomer uttered an oath in d New, York business house, The proprietor quiet- ly banded him a “Little Preacher” entitled, “Why Do You Swear?” The man read-it, tears came to his eyes, and he said, "I beg your pardon, sir.” “Never mind me,” said the other, “but don’t you think you had better ask God's pardon? It was his name that you profaned.” “I will do it, alr,” said the man, and he shook-his hand warm- ly. It if not an easy matter to re- buke @ swearer, but anyone can say, “Here is a leaflet which you may find helpful,” or he can mail one to every profane person whom he knows, ‘Teachers can make good use of leaf- let. Those who cannot talk with their pupils can put into their hands the wise words of others. Old-fash- loned tracts will not do’ for. boys. They want something which sparkles with life, which’ rivets the attention, end which stops when it gets there. This is a busy: age, we all know.
