LOCAL G.O.P. MACHINE WINS DELEGATES "Gag Rule" In Evidence In Seventeenth Ward. Color- of Women Refused Vote. With Few Exceptions, Delegates Are Job Holders' and Will Vote According To Machine Dictations At The Conventions. "The selfish and "gag rule" manner in which many city commissioners and their consorts have for years handled political affairs in St. Louis was in evidence in the Seventeenth Ward, where was was with annual defence by police clash came at a meeting held in Pope School at Ewing and Loockie. The purpose of the meeting was to elect delegates to the State and Congressional Conventions. Gag Rule Dominant. Immediately following the reading of the official call, the "steam roller" was put in action by Chairman Slater, but its progress was greatly hampered when one of our group was granted the floor and advanced the thought that we are living in a new state of existence and a new time; that population is growing. As a consequence, a motion was taken, named Dr. Darlington Weaver as secretary of the 17th Ward. In opposition to Floyd P. Bush, who had served ten years as secretary. The proposal of Weaver's name sounded like a broken cog in the propelling force of the "machina." To it it was an opportunity for our would-be friends to come out in the "sunshine," to view the view them. The thought of Mr. Bentley being displaced by a Norman stirred the fire in many of our old white friends. The hypocrisy and natural racial animosity of Harry McCheese, holding office by bystanders of Negro votes, was brought to the surface, and with caustic and sharp issues, he said, "It is only embarrassing to Mr. Bentley, who has been a man of great distinction for many years, caused in this conversation, it is even an insult and a reflection upon his efficiency." The motion to elect Dr. Weaver as secretary prevailed and he was given the office by a majority vote. So far so good. In the election of the delegates to the two conventions, Slater used many unprincipled tactics, in "jamming" the opposition with the "machine" who were not in his "machine" had no opportunity of full expression. Protests will be filed against the seating of the delegation with the Credentials Committee of the Convention. Liberty League Felt, In electing Dr. Weaver secretary of the 11th Ward, the Citizens' Liberty League has scored a victory and the influence of the league has been felt. That organization will continue to be the instrument to apply to any corrupt condition where the interests of its members are not matter how frequently nor forcibly they obtrude themselves. Non-Residents in Evidence at Convention. With a deep sense of fear, Slater absolutely refused to present his cause to the members of the 17th Ward alone. His plans were fortified and protected by a large number of white unknowns, who were imported from Vahdeventer avenue and the 5th Ward. Difrancibiese Colored Women. At the outset, Slater ruled that Colored women of the 17th Ward could not vote at the meeting, yet white women of other wards voted at their meetings. The Colored delegates elected to the State Convention in the 17th were: Rev. P. W. Dungavant, Rev. B. F. Abbott, Hutchina Lough, Louis Scott, Mrs. Victoria C. Haley, James Cannon, and Richard Barrett. Five whites were elected. The delegates to the 12th District Convention are: J. E. Mitchell, Jack Lewis, A. W. Lloyd, Ernest Patillo, W. Mathews. Str white were selected. Four in Sixteenth. James Diggs and E. T. Summytt were selected to State Convention, in Haines and W. E. Osborne to the District. Majority Colored in Sixth. Four Colored, and three Colored were selected to each convention. In Haines, Rev. R. E. Campbell, J. Campbell Theodore Mitchell, Congressional: Robert T. Scott, Alphonse Jones, William Jones and Mrs. H. A. Smith were the Colored selected. The only report from the 23rd Ward is of delegates selected to the State Convention. The Colored wave: I. H. Bradbury, John Snaed, Wm. H. Parke, and Anna Currie K. Bowles. Other delegates. In the 23rd Ward, James Shaffer, H. M. Stakely and Mrs. Bertha Buckney were selected to go to the State Convention. Ira Dorney was selected in the 15th and Mrs. A. R. Malone in the 26th. With few exceptions the delegates selected are job holders and will be expected to join according to machine discretion at the Convention, which will select delegates to the National Republican Convention in Chicago. The St. Louis Argus A group of Negroes in a certain section of this city are all up in arms over a circulated report that the Argus was not with the Negroes in their efforts to boycott a white man whom it is charged was against the race. The Argus wishes to correct this misleading report, because the Argus has always stood for Negroes' rights as citizens and has ceaselessly fought their battles. The Negroes' cause has been our cause. It is charged that one, Walter Storks, a white man who has operated grocery stores in Negro neighborhoods for many years and admits that he makes most of his profits off Negro trade, attended a certain meeting with his white neighbors and joined with them in a scheme to oppose Negro invasion into a certain section of the city. This report came to the Negroes through a news item published in the Globe-Democrat. Storks was immediately pointed out as being very unappreciative of his Negro trade, and a boycott was immediately instituted against him among the Negroes. Mr. Storks denied he attended the meeting and filed a suit against the Globe-Democrat in protest of his innocence. He also published a statement over his signature in the Argus saying that he was not present at such a meeting. The Argus' Position We allowed Mr. Storks to make his statement because he declared he was innocent of the charge, and because it is our policy to be fair and just to every one in the conduct of the Argus, regardless of race or color. We did not believe it fair to condemn a man while he is protesting his innocence. That is the thing that the Argus is fighting, yes, fighting with all our might. The Negro has been the victim of condemnation without a trial, and we are opposed to such practices. If Mr. Storks attended the meeting that had for its purposes hindering the progress of the Negro, it is the duty of every Negro to withdraw their support from him, and the Argus will be the first to condemn him. But we shall refuse to say he was there unless we are able to prove it. We use this space to make clear our position to the public because there have been all kinds of false statements made to make this statement with the hope that it will clear up matters and that we will not be forced into a fight against the Negro. We know that the fair-minded and those who have the interest of the race at heart will agree with us, that this is no time for fighting each other. Therefore, we give out this statement with malice toward none, but justice to all. No Letter Has Been Submitted By Anyone, On Stork Affair Several persons have informed The Argus that this paper has been charged with misrepresentation of articles or articles submitted by a committee of the organization opposing Stork, the grocer. The Argus has absolutely false. No person or person have submitted an answer to any kind for publication, except the general resolution which was passed by the West End Business Men's Association on Monday, published in these columns, as submitted, in the issue of Jan. 30. A committee of three, consisting of Meerskirk, Latham, Caston and Rebhnan, called at The Argus office Feb. 4, and a representative of the paper insisted upon a letter, for publication, which would define the objects and aims of the organization so the paper would have a policy to support the organization. The paper was公然 told that The Argus had been and was with any movement which meant the protection and advancement of Colored people.

She Had A Plotter Aboard. Open Seacocks A Mystery. Has $5,000,000 Cargo Of Whiskey, Champagne and Wine Aboard For Havana. Owned By Colored People. NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Following a conference held in the offices of the U. S. Attorney, the stewardship Yarmouth of the Black Star Line was allowed to sail with its $5,000,000 cargo of whiskey, champagne and wine. Had a Platter Aboard. The Yarmouth is owned by a company of capitalists. The story of its troubles has made a romance, a tale of the treasure galloped and mutually under the black star. She sailed for the Spanish Main with the cargo of liquor at the last possible minute on January 16. Her officers and crew were Nerroes, under the command of Capt. Elushus Cockburn, a season of long experience under the British flag; but she had a plotter mounted on the only white man in the crew. Her gin engineer. The ship was nearing latters; it was night and the wind blowing a gale. Hanging off just out of gunshot is the low, long, black, raiskish craft which has been on her trail for days—a mysterious craft, likely at any moment to run up the Jolly Roger. Additionally the ship springs a leak, the water is too high for the ship to lose and they must abandon ship. Capt. Cockburn goes-below and comes to the conclusion that somebody has opened the seacocks. His experience under the British flag stands him in good stead; the crew is ordered to man the pumps, the water no longer gains in the hold, the faint-hearted among the crew lose their destra to boat and the mysterious craft, that has no control over the cargo is soon hull down on the horizon. But more trouble was to come. So much water had been shipped on a ship that had no room for water that the Yarmouth had to put back for repairs; she had cleared before the ship's amendment went, into effect, so the ship had been hering her, back and aporching her off the Statue of Liberty. It was the Status of Liberty that did it, no doubt. Somebody who took liberty seriously was suspected of tampering with the cargo. Strange tales were heard of boats alongside at dead of night, of whiskey hauled on deck to make a ship's sageage. And presently came a boarding party of janizaries from the Prohibition Commissioner's office, who took possession. It looked for a while as if five million dollars' worth of irreplaceable treasure was lost, unless some bold pirate should run the guns of the Narrowboat fort and cut the ship. Then the skiffs cleared suddenly, the janizaries went ashore, and the golden galloon is once more en route to the Spanish Main under the Black Star. Only one question remains, and that is a question that will be asked by everybody well-read in Caribbean romance. The plottter who nearly ruins the cruise is, by all tradition, put board by board to the Yarmouth seacocks. Were the Yarmouth seacocks opened by an agent of the Anti-Saloon League? turns of the Y men, they had to suc- cumb. On the night of February 14th these two teams will meet again, this time on the Pine street Y floor, to which the public is cordially invited. The games start promptly at 8 o'clock. Recent changes have been made in the Pine Street Basket Ball League in order to shorten the series. The pre-elimination games will be played now on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

SOLDIERS STOP LYNCHING AT LEXINGTON KENTUCKY Five Rioters Killed Twenty-Three Seriously Wounded And Scores Hurt In Attempt To Defeat Justice. "I'd Do Again Just As I Have Done," Says Adjutant-General Who Issued The Order To Fire. Governor Commended. LEXINGTON, Ky. 11—Wil Lockett, 33 years old, Nero laborer, former soldier, who was convicted Monday morning of murdering a ten-year-old girl girl and sentenced by Juice Keer, "to be electrocuted unto death in Eddyville, Ky., before surmises on March 11," was taken to the state penitentiary on a special train, Tuesday night. Lockett was escorted by the soldier and his removal was accomplished within an incident. This closes one of the most severe crime incidents in the history of the country. Mob Pays T terrible Penalty. As a result of an effort to lynch Lockett, during the progress of his trial, five men are dead, twenty three wounded by being shot and scores of wounds are reported to have suffered from buckshot or from being knocked down. Ambulances were rushed from the police station and undertaking establishments to carry the wounded to the hospital. Many were taken into nearby places of business and cared for there until they could be removed to the hospital. Stores of others who were injured on the way received attention and drug stores and doctors' offices. For this reason a complete list of those injured never may be compiled. When the Troops Acted. It was 9:28 when a group of men from-Woodford County set up the cry, "Let's get him!" and made a dash under the steel cable and up the walk to the court house and toward the mansion. Despite warning cries of the troops, stationed about the entrance, they continued their advance, until they reached the steps. Adjutant-General Deweese raised his automatic pistol in the air when he saw the crowd was determined to continue the advance and fired as a signal for his men to open fire. The court house and the front steps, soldiers and deputies opened fire on the mob. Four men fell at the first volley. A port of the crowd retreated at the firing began, although several continued their rush up the steps. One group of men reached the machine gun and put it out of action. When that man called James Moore, of Covington, was shot by one of the mob. General Deweese's order apparently was for only one chip of five car tridges to be fired, as only a scattering volley resulted. The majority of the enlisted men never lowered their rifles, but continued to fire over the heads of the crowd until they stopped them without being shot. Enlance Fire Breaks Crowd. Enlance fire broke the charging crowd in two. About six men gained the door, but stopped when they encountered the group of soldiers, and deputies at the head of the steps on the second floor, armed with shot guns. The group of soldiers stopped one of the main street approach and one in the car tracks. A score more dropped, and for a moment onlookers thought that the machine gun had been turned loose and the death toll would be far greater. The machine gun was not put into regular action, the troops depending on one or more adversaries. One shot shots from an automatic also were fired from the court house. The crowd finally was pushed back behind the wires stretched across the street and order again restored. Under Martial Law, Lestimam was placed in martial law and allowed of troops from Camp Taylor, all fully equipped, arrived Monday night, "I'd Do It Again," said Adjutant Dewess. Many are criticizing. Adjutant General Dewesse for having issued the order to fire, while others are conceding that the sentiment contained in the following statement issued by the general: "I feel I did everything possible to avert what happened. Officially over my signature I warned the public not to attempt violence, and urged all citizens to avoid the danger zone, explain the situation, and be a good, nonvent speculator would be in danger." "No shots were fired until the crowd had reached the machine gun. I backed 20 steps, grappled with two of th' lead er, striking one on the head with my pistol. The volley which stopped the rush was not fired a second too long, so beak gone through again I do not believe I could with safety, revise any part the military has been forced to take. I'd do again just as I have done." N. K. A. C. P. COMMENDS GOV. ENRINGER LING LYNCHING. LYNCHING.

But now she is gone not to come back any more, her foot steps shall not be heard any more, making her way to her church, and through the community, in her home she was a Christian wife and beloved by all. To the family we extend our deepest regret and join our hearts with yours in this trying hour of bereavement. May God bless and keep us until we meet again, Park Chapel, A. M. E.

The funeral of Mrs. Katie Tondsend, who died in Cleveland, O., was conducted at Siblah Baptist church Friday, Feb. 6, by Rev. C. H. Green, who spoke as follows: Isaiah 38, Chapt. 1.5, "Set things house in order for thou shalt die, and can not live." Subject Preparation: 1. We are again reminded of the fact that man must die; and I want to bring this message to the living and remind you that sooner or later we must all go the way of the dead. 2. Some people don't like to hear about death, but it is necessary, as men get so busy in life until they forget that they are mortal and say they don't have to die. 3. But you see every day, people whose heads are silvering for the grave; whose shoulders are browed with age and whose steps totter, stealing that death is on their track. 4. Nature teaches of death, spring, indicates one's birth into the world, and fail, represents death; the birds are singing, leaves are green and flowers in bloom, the rippling brooks all are full. 5. But, in the fall, the earth takes on a picture of death. Nature fills her mission and returns back to mother earth. So with man, soon we will have spent our life and go to our long sought rest. 6. We see others going to their graves and as truly as death was on their track, so he is on ours. We should be ready, our sister was ready. 7. She was prepared to go, all must die, for death comes equally to all, no sex is incurred nor age exempt. The road of the lawyer, doctor, teacher and minister, the world's most useful men all end in death. 8. What is death? It is a separation or way out. 9. Time of death, no man knows. 10. The death of the righteous is precious in the sight of God. I close by saying: Go bury her for she is a King's daughter. The arrest must have 75 or 190 pages to the paper by spring. Miss Jenkins, the evangelist, spoke from the following Scriptures on Sunday in the morning, John 3: Chap. 2 V. At night, John 5: Chap. 6 V. Jesus and Nicodemus, and the Palsied' Man at the Pool. Both discourses were full of wholesome food and advise' to the church as well as to the unsaved: Miss Jenkins is a powerful speaker and her sermons are full of the spirit. She knows how to strike and where to strike and when to strike. Great work all accomplished in Charleston, when preaching. She also full of music, the needs more such consecrated women.

"GREATEST QUESTION" in 7 Parts See D. W. Griffith's PAGE FOUR KINKY DOO TRIO, CLEVER FEMALE ACT., FEATURES BOOKER WASHINGTON SHOW. The Kinky Dpo Trio, composed of three clever females, is a delightful surprise at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. They offer a rich and varied repertory, of song, dance and mirth and win the audience with their snappy, breezy style. The act opens with the three singing, partially concealed behind parasols. An uncovering reveals a trile of rules, and they proceed to sing and dance their way into the favor of the patrons. "Kinky," Madaline Cooper and Mildred Pelleton then pull off a kay travesty on Jelly Roll, with a Kiddy Car with another lively dance. May Olden, recently of the Smart Set, then demonstrates the "byramid Dance," in artistic fashion, and draws an encore from the appreciative crowd. After a low withering the act closes with a whirlwind dance amid a storm of applause. It is undoubtedly the best female combination seen on this stage since the olden days of stardom. "Original Rags," an extemporaneous wit creates merriment with his song, "I Know That You'll Be Happy 'Till You Do. It consists of sarcastically humorous references to people in the audience and his extempore is so perfect that he often changes during a scene to meet a sudden condition without losing the rhyme, "Rags" has a good singing voice and is also a rapid fire taker. His act goes big. Rockville & Davies have an act composed mainly of cross-fire squabbling couplet with overwatched tales of experience and hurt.que. Miss Davis displays some good dancing by way of diversion. Rockville is suffering from rhinoplasty and is in fighting for Democracy in France but gets by with his comedy efforts and the act is pleasing. Mademoiselle Wesley further is the custom taster and has three cabaret songs that are rather out of harmony with the present demands of the vaudeville stage. NEXT WEEK. Charlotte Tarnin president of the Rockefeller Washington Theatre is in Chicago, this week attending the Lincoln League Convention and at the same time arranging for an array of high class performers for next weeks but at the theater. The program had not arrived when the Argus went to press but the patrons can be assured of a show equal to the best on the Colored Vanderbilt Circuit. Taggart Hartgraves the dancer and Walter Farrington, pianist, entertained at Hotel Statler Tuesday night. THE JEST-A-MERE Should a woman pay for one misdeed, while the man who is far more guilty is free to continue his sinful career This is the question raised in the book The Paid. A universal photorama which comes to the Jost A Mere Theatre this Sunday, Monday and the problem is handled in a manner both interesting and convincing. Marion Lane, a clothing model, marries the man she loves, but does not tell him of her relations with her former employer. When the man who caused her downfall becomes infatuated with her step-daughter, Marion, to save the girl, is forced to tell her husband of her own past. "MALE AND FEMALE" AT THE PENDLETON Cecil B. De Mille's latest Paramount Artcraft picture, "Male and Female." will be shown at the Pendleton Theatre this Sunday. Monday and Tuesday. Properties used in this big picture total thousands of dollars in value. One toilet set alone cost five hundred dollars, and the gorgeous gowns worn by Gloria Swanson, Lila Lee and Bebe Daniels, who are in the cast, are worth a handsome price. Ancient Babylon in all its prodigal magnificence is one of the settings. The story of Crichton, the butter in the family of English nobles who was wrecked with his master's yachting party at sea and became their leader, has long delighted thousands. Under the master-hand of Cecil De Mille It is a screen masterpiece. Thomas Meighan plays the leading role, and Theodore Roberts, Raymond Haiton and Guy Oliver are included in the cast. JACK DEMPSEY, GEORGE WALSH, ALICE JOYCE AND WILLIAM FARNUM AT COMET. Jack Dempsey, the world's heavyweight champion, will play the lead in Pathe's newest photoplay serial which will cost Pathe one million dollars and is said to surpass anything done in serials heretofore.

This week at the Comet will be seen George Walsh in his newest Fox picture, "The Shark," Sunday.

Human Colateral, "Friday," The Confession, a super-photoplay, showing the narrow path of the pulpit followers, will be shown at the Comet at an early date. AT THE CRITERION "Erstwhile william" will be the Criterion feature on Saturday. It is the story of a modern Cinderella. The heroine is Barnabetta Dreary, the only daughter of Barnaby, a stern, brutal farmer of the Pennsylvania Dutch colony of Reinhartz. Left motherless at a very early age, Barnabetta has known neither love nor laughter. She is too occupied with serving her father as two girls' brothers. Later, however Barnaby marries again, and it is the stepmother who helps the girl blossom into glorious, beautiful young womanhood. "A Scream is the Night" If anyone believes that man enrages from monkey, the new Select special attraction, "A Scream in the Night," which will be presented on the Criterion on Sunday, will place a quietus on the thought. "A Scream in the Night!" buses a very entertaining story on Darwin's theory of the origin of our beloved ancestors. Events move swiftly from the time that beautiful Darwa is seen flitting from the tree-tops of jungles until the grand finale, when a crazed constrictor plays her in a cage with a giant tree killers.

Bigelow, the scout naturalist, in Boys' Life, "That may be necessary in the marshland of the summer, but when the freezing weather has been prolonged take to the swamps. But be careful. Even the coldest weather sometimes leaves treacherous places in the underbrush and in other sheltered spots. Sometimes the frost is only superficial even when ice on the open ponds is thick. A little good, plain common sense will discover the riches and avoid the danger. One never can see the best parts of a brook bank from the opposite bank. They must be seen from the middle of the stream. I never thoroughly realized that until I started out with camera and rubber boots so that I could safely go into water about a foot and a half or two feet in depth. The ice fringes, the ornate palaces, the wonderful recesses, the strings of jewels, the fairyland caves are all beyond our most vivid dreams. I cannot sufficiently emphasize this, because I know that there are scouts who will not believe, no matter how often I reiterate. I did not believe it myself until I tried it, and the trial was almost by chance. But when I discover this foreign fairyland, I hold it in my possession and frequently explore it. There are many puzzles in that icy region. One cannot even imagine how some of those formations could have been made, but some of them may be puzzled out, and solving the problem is always entertaining and more so than finding the answer to word riddles. Things are more interesting than words." "That was a paradoxical report our doctor made about the typhoid in the family." "What was it?" "That it was the well water which made us sick." False Notes in the Harmony. Young woman (scor n fuly)— Life is one grand, sweet song. A Old Bach (dole fully) — Yes, but some of us have very poor voices. A Sad Materialist. "Your favorite musical instrument is the ukulele?" "Yes," replied Mr. Cumrox. "It doesn't make much noise at best; and when you get tired of listening to it you can demolish it without anything like the expense that would attach to smashing a grand plano or a good violin." Fatal Defect "Why did you dismiss Henry, a fine steady fellow, sure to make a good husband?" "Yes, I know all that, but how could I be happy with a man who pronounces garage to rhyme with carriage?" Fatal Mistake. "How was it you didn't keep that splendid cook of yours?" "Unfortunately, I invited an old millionaire to dine with us." His Preference. "It is queer our lawyer friend is so fond of dogs." "Why is it queer?" "You would suppose his preference was for something more in the see-line species." "It is queer our lawyer friend is so fond of dogs." "Why is it queer?" "You would suppose his preference was for something more in the see-line species." Like From Like. "An amateur detective I know gave his wife for a present a magnificent cat's-eye ring." "I suppose he earned that cat's eye by pissy-footing." The Chinese language, before the attempt was made to give China a national writing in what is now known as the Chu Yin Tru-Mu, was entirely made up of monosyllables there being 420 in all in the official Pekingese dialect. The imperial dictionary, still the standard, although it is two centuries old, contains 44,440 words. Each Chinese syllable has an average of 105 meanings. They are distinguished by the slight difference of pronunciation and by the association of one word with the one next to it. Each of the 400 variations of the same monosyllable is an entirely distinct word to the Chinese. Each has an ideogram which bears no suggestion of the 104. Must Have Good Tools. As long ago on the time of the cave dweller, prehistoric man learned that the best arrow or spear was tipped with the best plume of flint. In brief, to do good work you must have good tools. In the terms of today, this means that the expert or specialist must be preferred to the untrained.—William Roscoe Thayer. ;FORSHAW: REPAIRS FOR "ANY OLD" STOVE 111 NORTH 124 STREET CENTRAL 2001-2 MAIN 1903 Madam Eva Adams 'ARBUTUS' HAIR PREPARATIONS Hair Grower Pressing Oil Beautiful Hair Is A Reflection Of Refinement.

TAKE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE BLOOD PURIFIER HOR-TON-A FOR SKIN AND SCALP There are a great many people who are sick, yet manage to do their work and drag along after day, feeling miserable, discouraged and tired all the time. They do not know what is the matter and their physicians cannot name the disease. In many cases this state of poor health is caused by poisoned blood. At one time or another, possibly years back; the blood was contaminated or stained by billiouness, constipation, kidney and other diseases. These conditions of poisoned blood are made known by general debility or gradual loss of health, pimples, bolls, sores, eruptive skin diseases and chronic catarrh. If you have reason to believe your present state of ill health is dueto an accumulation of clogged and poisoned your blood, marked trailing bones, swollen joints and pain, you should at once begin the use of a treatment that will cleanse your blood and restore the vital organs of your body to a natural and healthy state. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 13, 1920 Prescription C-2223 is a liquid medicinal preparation that stands above all other remedies as an alternative of great power. It restores normal functions to those organs or tissues which are not performing their full work. It changes diseased conditions into conditions of health. It relieves certain congested and irritable conditions of the mucous membrane and has marked influence on the intestinal organs in removing impure and waste products from the body. Prescription C-2223 is really an unusual compound of certain valuable medicinal agents and can be depended on to give results where all other treatments have failed, because it is the private formula of a prominent and successful physician, now long since retired. This Prescription has given relief to so many thousands who suffered from diseases caused by poisoned blood, that the manufacturers authorize druggists to give back the $3.00 paid for two $1.56 bottles, if the treatment, when taken according to directions, does not give satisfying relief. If your drugrist cannot supply you with 31.50 bottles write Dept. A, 2223 Laboratory, Memphis, Tenn., for literature, 1920 Almanac and samples of 2223 Liver Pills. PURIFIER 'THE SOUL OF MAN' BY PROF.

We are glad to report that all are recovering nicely. Raymond Foster, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Foster, died Feb. 9, after an illness of eight days.

Funeral services were held in the home of his parents, the church being closed by order of the Board of Health. Rev. H. W. James preached a brief but touching sermon.

When the delegates come back they will do better work for themselves and they will exert a pronounced influence among their own people. This large delegation to the institute is one of the positive signs that North Carolina's advancement is not confined to one race alone. That Governor Bickett addressed the meeting at Tuskegee shows that this state officially, as well as individually, realizes the importance of the gathering there.

ARTICLE XIV. CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abused. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. At least so long as his Honor, Edwin P. Morrow, is Governor of the State of Kentucky, there will be no great gathering and holiday preparations to pull off a lynching in that State. Instead of a holiday feast, celebrated with all the feindish glee of the heathens, mourning has encouched itself about the homes of the celebrates. Mobism has gone down in defeat, while law and order have perched themselves upon the portals of "law supreme." Governor Morrow has, almost overnight, stepped into the class of the Big Men of the country. It surely requires a big man in this day and hour to get above the howlings of the mob. He did not take snap judgment, but, brave and courageous, he met and faced the mob, pleased with them to let the law take its course, and warned the maddened crowd that the law much be enforced and the processes for the administration of justice must be respected. Of the attempt to take the convicted man from the court room, on Monday, the Cincinnati Enquirer editorial says: "The True Spirit of Kentucky "It was not the spirit of Kentucky—a state of true sportsmen and chivalrous gentlemen—that moved the mob in the streets of Lexington. It was the spirit of Bolshevism, which seeks to rule by violence and in defiance of law and the mandates for its orderly execution. But it was the true spirit of Kentucky that faced the mob and in fearlessness, and with dispatch, stopped the disorderly defiance of the dignified progress of justice. "There can be no approval of the mob, no sympathy with the spirit that moved it. Its leaders should be brought to face the justice they defied and sought to frustrate. "For the officials who stood bravely to their duty, and with patience, there must be commendation. For the soldiers who executed the orders given to them, after all persuasion had been shown to be ineffective, in which they stayed the wave of lawlessness. They spoke the true spirit of Kentucky." May the "True Spirit of Kentucky" become the spirit of the entire country, and the greatest disgrace to our land will soon be removed. One of the features of the mass meeting of the voters of the Seventeenth Ward, at Pope School last Tuesday night, was the expression from Harry McChesney, that he considered it an insult to offer a Negro as secretary of the meeting Mr. McChesney, who is a justice of the peace, elected by the Negro voters of the Fourth Constabulary District of this city, made his position fully clear to all who were present; that he is opposed to the Negro receiving more recognition at the hands of the party leaders. This is the type of white man who wants everything, regardless of the votes that the Negro may cast. And if the Negro inspires for some of the honors, it is an insult to him. We admire Mr. McChesney's frankness in making his position clear - perfectly clear - to the Negroes, but the sad part was to see some of our race, a face who is struggling to rise to their rightful place in the American civilization; yes, the sad part was to see some black men and black women applauding Mr. McChesney's remarks. We confess that someone had an insult coming, and that was those Negroes who could be insulted. Of course, unfortunately, there were some of our race who could not be insulted. Remember, this is a new day in politics, and as long as such men as Harry McChesney have their way the Negro will always remain the political serf. Mary Walsh, 57, 2313 Eugenia heart disease. R. O.

A mass meeting of the voters of the school last Tuesday night, was the day that he considered it an insult for meeting—Mr. McChesney, who is a Negro voters of the Fourth, made his position fully clear to all opposed to the Negro receiving more aristocratic leaders.

And if the Negro inspires for him, is frankness in making his position groves, but the sad part was to see struggling to rise to their rightful yes, the sad part was to see some founding Mr. McChesney's remarks and an insult coming, and that was resulted.
