St. Louis Argus

MORE CASES OF SLAVERY FOUND IN GEORGIA An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. X NO. 2 MORE CA SLAVER IN G Special Representative Of The St. Louis Argus Digs Up More Evidence Of Peonage And Brutal Treatment Of Negroes On Georgia Plantation. SPECIFIC CASES CITED Show Positive Proof Of The Awful Conditions Under Which Victims Are Forced To Work. Progressives Of Race Intimidated To Make Them Flee For Lives. Special to The St. Louis Argus. ABREVILLE, Ga., April 28.—The conviction of John S. Williams, white planter, for the murder of Lindsey Peterson, will probably result in more good to the Negroes of the South, where peonage and other high handed acts of injustices have been carried on, than anything else that has occurred in a decade. That all white men in the South are not subscribers to these barbaric practices, is but a statement of fact; yet it is equally true that far too long have many of her best citizens slept on their rights and permitted these unscrupulous criminals to have things their own way to the shame of their section and the loss of much of her manpower, which has fled for want of protection. This little town is not without its enemies of those who boast of the white man's supremacy; for rumors are prevalent, which will pot down, that south from here on the slible road, seven miles in Wilcox Country Negroes are worked against their will and kept in debt under that old system in such a way that if they attempt to leave they are arrested, brought back and placed on the county in work on the changing town, a debt to a white man, a number of people, in ap which it is a belief a white man by the name of T. M. Parson has for a number of years been working Negroes and once they ever get into his debt, unless some other white man buys them out, it is next to impossible for them to get away. For a time he had a turpentine farm, but most of the Negroes from this did get away and are now in the North. It is related that about ten or fifteen years ago he bought a Negro out of jail for a small amount, yet this same Negro was not out of his debt and free to go as he pleased until a year ago, when by saving, begging and doing without clothing he managed to save enough cash to run away. This Negros was Ouse Tomblerling, who now lives in Pittsburgh, Pa., and knows what it is to be indebted to a white man of that stripe, who seeks to rob his brother because he is black. Father And Sons in Slayery John Martin and his three sons John Jr., Jerry and James have been on his farm for a number of years with the exception of the elder Martin who finally got away by saving and with the help of some insurance money, went to Pittsburgh, Pa., but three boys are yet held on the place by being told they are in debt and are afraid to leave, knowing they will be arrested and placed on the chalangg. They do not know to whom to look for justice and though they know in their hearts they owe no one anything, they do not dare to tell Persons that, or deny his word when he says they are in his debt. To run away they would be charged with stealing or any offense suited to the purpose of intimidating Negroes. However, Governor Dorsey is showing this low element of Georgians and the South, that the day is fast approaching when the blue-blooded South is going to rule as it is her duty. WHISPER A BLADE MAN It is said about here that this man T. M. Palmous and Morris Wicox, another white man, have been guilty of whipping Negroes whenever they get ready. It is said John Kendricks, who is now in Detroit working at the Ford Motor plant, and his five children and also Orange Turner, who is blind, have bites the subjects of flogging at the hands of these men. It appears that Morris Wicox, who is said to be a brother-in-law of Parnes is assisted by the duty of guarding the Negroes at night, shutting them up in a farm-house. A part of the pastime on this farm is said to be of this wise: Morris Wicox and his brothers John and Mark, together with T. M. Parsons, got filled up frequently on mountains, and go among the Negroes on the place whipping them prominently. And Intimidated In passing it might be well to remark Orange Turner and Bettle Strickland were whipped in the hope of making them, give up their possessions. Strickland is reputed to be wealthy and the owner of about 1,000 acres of good land, but his home has been shot at during nights and every effort made to run him away from the community. It may be that Governor Dorsay or the Federal agents will yet throw enough respect of the law into such The St. Louis Argus under the protection and freedom of the Stars and Stripes. Many Other Cases But Abbeville is only one of many places in Georgia. The black belt is full of it. Your correspondent's attention has been called to a reported condition on the farm of one Howard, four miles south of American, Georgia, on the Leesburg road. The operation of the system of buying men out of fall or permitting them to work out their fines on the chaining gang is very familiar. Working out on the chaining gang is similar to the problem of the frog getting out of the well by jumping up a foot in the day and falling back two feet at night. Is it any wonder that Negro labor is restless under such conditions? It is impossible to understand how thoughtful white men permit such conditions in this country of ours. It must be because, while they are capable of thinking, they do not think at or towards the Negro. Another Farmer Is SAVANNAH. April 25.—R. J. Oglesby, prominent farmer of Emanuel County, and his wife have been brought to Savannah by agents of the federal government, charged with peonage. It is alleged they kept Reese Boston, Negro, in involuntary servitude and threatened to kill him before he should work for anyone else. It is also alleged Mrs. Oglesby administered severe whipping to the Negro with a rawhide whip. They will be given a preliminary hearing tomorrow.

This musical recital Published In The Interest Of Colored People WASHINGTON, April 21.—Despite the protest of more than five-hundred white women employees of the office of the register of the treasury, there are reliable reports today that the administration has practically decided to appoint a Negro Republican as register. Charles Cottrell of Toledo who took an active part among Colorized voters in the Hardling campaign, is slated for the post now held by William S. Elliott, of Georgia, a white official. Cottrell is said to have the approval of both President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty, both of whom are acquainted with his services to the G. O. P. in Ohio. He is now said to be enquire home to wind up his personal affairs. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia has also been considered for the office of register, but information today is that the Ohio man has nosed out Johnson. The Georgian politician is expected to land another berth in Washington. More than five hundred employees of the register's office recently petitioned the administration and members of congress against the appointment of any Negro as register. They held that it would be subvertive of the discipline of the office, which since the war, has become a most important bureau with nearly a thousand employees against thirty in the days before the war. The register records of all bonds and obligations of the United States, and payment thereof, and this has been mainly responsible for the increased personnel.

McGavick and Redding, the two Negroes convicted of murdering a sailor during the "Abyssinian" riot last summer roused all the prisoners in the jail with their singing when they learned that they were not to die on the next day. They shot G. L. Rose, a sailor, as he attempted to prevent them burning a U. S. flag last summer. MORE LYNCHING IN MISSISSIPPI HATTIESRURG, Miss. April 23. Lynched for assaulting the wife of a dairyman near Ozone, a Negro about 30 years old, whose name could not be learned was hanged to a telephone pole and his lady riddled with bullets early this morning by a mob about half a mile north of Carriere, near Picayune, Miss. It is said the Negro, who was of powerful build, had only been in the employ of the dairyman about four months, coming to this section from New Orleans. Reports reaching here were to the effect that a deputy sheriff and a justice of the peace learned of the assault and took the Negro into custody. They notified the sheriff of Pearl River County by telephone and then took their captive and hid him in the woods for safekeeping from the mob, which had formed immediately. The mob discovered the Negro's location and surrounded the woods, preventing the sheriff from getting the captive and succeeded in getting him from his captors about 2 1/2 clock this morning. He was taken to Carriere and out on the road was hanged, his body being riddled with bullets. UNKNOWN MARINES ASSAULT A NEGRO NEW ORLEANS, La. April 27.

ST.LOUIS.MO.,FRIDAY.APRIL 29,1921 TWO COLORED GIRLS INSULTED BY WHITE MAN Is Fined Three Hundred Dollars In Each Case, Violence Was Threatened, To Force Arrest, After Officer Refused To Act. James Hamilton (white) 45, was fined six hundred dollars in City Court No. 2. Monday, on a peace disturbance charge; three hundred in each case. The complaining witnesses in the case were Mimi Beunah Abernathy, age 12 and Miss Lane. They charged that they were accused on the streets by Hamilton and after being addressed in endearing terms, he attempted to embrace one of them. They fled into a store for protection. As soon as their assailant passed on Miss Abernathy ran home, which was only a block away, and informed her mother of what taken place. Calvin Glover, an ex-oversee soldier who was at the Abernathy home at the time, accompanied the girl back to the streets where she pointed out her assailant. The young man demanded of the policeman the arrest of Hamilton, but the officer refused, and told Hamilton to leave the neighborhood. By that time others had joined Glover in their demands that the assailant be arrested. Seeing that the men were in earnest, Hamilton ran through an alley between Finney and Cook to Whittier, then south to a large car, which he bound. By that time a large crowd had gathered and blocked traffic until the police, seeing the Negroes were determined to have justice, came up and arrested Hamilton. When taken to the Deer Street Station and the desk sergeant heard the complaint, he held Hamilton on a peace duriance charge. When the case came before Judge Mix, he imposed the 2000 line. The case has been appealed and will have a hearing in C. C. C. No. 2. $500 IS RAISED FOR ORPHANS A nice audience was present at the mass meeting of the Orphan Home at Poro Auditorium a last Sunday.

Tom Taylor, long a big factor with the Negro vote in the Republican party in Tennessee and who has been considered a friendly Southerner by many of the Race, has been sued by a Colored tenant, Pleasant H. Brown, due to the operation of one of the Taylor plantations near Crenshaw, Miss. Brown charges that his store account in the general store which Taylor owned, for the crop of 1919 was $490.19, that he raised 10 bales of cotton; that Mr. Taylor got that and the seed, but that he has never been able to get a settlement out of Mr. Taylor. He also says for damages for being intimidated and for $1,000 as the value of his household goods which were taken. This is a typical Southern case but usually they do not get into court. REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CLUB WORKING ON APPOINTMENT OF COLORED POLICEMEN The Missouri Negro Republican League Club met in the regular session last Monday night. The most important feature of the meeting was the report of the committee on Negro Uniformed Police. They reported they had a conference with the Mayor who approved of the stand of the Club had taken, and said he would do everything in his power to get Uniformed Colored Police, because he believed the colored people were entitled to recognition along this line. Incidentally he repeated his promise to the Club for a Colored Fire Company and stated he was going to make good this pledge in the near future. Their interview with Victor J. Miller, President of the Board of Police Commissioners was entirely satisfactory and he stated that as soon as he had finished police matters of pressing importance that he would give full consideration to the Negro Uniform Police question. Information has come to the Club that some Negroes holding official positions stated that the placing of colored Uniform Police on the force at this time would be a calamity. We want to say to these gentlemen that the Missouri Club is making this fight for 75,000 black men and women who are fully awake to their rights and prerogatives as citizens of our great city. That the Missouri Club has been born again and is now composed of first class fighting Negro Republican men and women who will battle the bitter end for the Civil and political rights of their people. It is' the intention of the Club to turn the pitiless light of publicity on any Negro who proves a traitor to his Race. Mrs. Mattie Barnett of 3065 Markel street, on Wednesday night. May 4th, will entertain at her residence in honor of the Club. All members and their friends are invited to attend. The Club will meet Monday night at 2750 Clark avenue.

Dodge was convicted of murder here Wednesday night in connection with the killing of C. J. Meddels July 10 of last year. The jury recommended mercy and Dodge was immediately sentenced to Life imprisonment. Dodge and Medders were former partners in the show business. They hit upon the plan to put horns on a Negro and tour the country with him as the 'only horned Negro in captivity.' An operation was necessary to insert a big pair of horns in the Negro's head and the skin grew into place and made them appear like real horns. The show business thrived; it is said, until the Negro while on spree in Georgia several years ago dressed the fake. Dodge and Medders had made a fortune and returned here, edders becoming an overseer on the Dedge plantation. A year ago because of personal difficulties Meddels left the place and opened a law office and became a justice of the price. He was shot down in front of his office one night and Dodge was among the men arrested in connection PAGE TWO Society AND LOCAL NOTES Mr. Will Wallace, 2313a, Wash street who is in Hot Springs for his health is improving nicely.

When sorrow comes, as come it must, In God we must' place our trust; There is no power in mortal speech, The anguish of our soul to reach. No voice however sweet and low. Can comfort us or ease the blow; We cannot from our fellowmen, Take strength that will sustain us then. With all that kindly hands will do, And all that love may offer too; We must believe throughout the test, That God has willed it for the best. Just five years ago you left me, How I miss you mother dear; And remember all your kindness, As I drop a silent tear. For me she did her best. May God grant her eternal rest. Sadly missed by Katie Godare,mother; Miss Mae Lewis, daughter; Mmee Beatrice Foster, Blanche Willis, Opheila Moore, Jenanette Brown. Ethel Geter, Marcella Williams and Miss Gladys Godare, sisters; Lester Godare, brother and a host of other relatives and friends. THEORA LEWIS, daughter, Chicago, Illinois. HARLEM HOSPITAL FACES CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATING The Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK. April 27.—General charges of mistreatment of Colored patients, discriminating against them and of graft ap mismanagement at the Harlem Hospital were made by Alderman George W. Harris at a hearing before David Hirshfield, Commissioner of Accounts, in the Municipal building. Alderman Harris said he expected to prove among other things that an ambulance surgeon and driver stopped at a Harlem restaurant and spent an hour, before they responded to an emergency call sent in by a Colored family. The Negro population of Harlem, Harris said, had no confidence in the institution and only would submit to being sent there as a last resort. He demanded that conditions be remedied and that the Colored race receive adequate representation on the medical and surgical staff and in the management of the institution. Dr. John W. Benna, president of the Board of Trustees, said it was his opinion that there was no race discrimination. There was a certain amount of tipping by patients, who thus hoped to secure better treatment, at all hospitals, he said, but believed there was no more of it at Harlem than elsewhere.

MAN FREED IN COURT ATTACKED BY A MOB The Associated Negro Press FREDERICK, MD., April 27.—An attempt at mote violence was made upon Charles Henry Dorsey, Baltimore, the Negro alleged to have made a criminal attack on Delisle Twedale, Cautowville, sixteen years old, a few days ago when Chief Judge Hammond Urner announced the opionion of the court freeing the colored man. It was Dorsey's second trial, the first at Towson, Md., resulting in his conviction and sentence to death. A new trial was granted by the court, the conviction having been by a jury on the grounds on considerable doubt as to the positive identification of the man. The case was moved to this county for retrie When the decision was made, M. S. Twedale, brother of the girl, leaped from his chair beside his sister, and dislapped for Dorsey. Before the officers could head him off, Twedale had struck the man, causing the blood to flow from his cheek. Mrs. R. W. Rogers, Richmond, Va., sister of the complainant, joined in the attack, throwing a water glass at Dorsey, who had rushed to the judges' platform for protection. The glass missed Dorsey and struck Court clerk Ell E. Haugh. The court room spectators became an excited mob, but they were quieted when Judge Umer walked to the front of the judge platform and announced that the life of the prisoner, would be protected. In the meantime Dorsey was whisked from the courthouse and rushed in an automobile, to the county jail. When it became noised around that the Negro had left the courtroom the crowd followed, some giving chase in automobiles. At the jail pursuit was abandoned. All during the following evening crowds of 10 men gathered on street corners, discussing the possibility of the prisoner's presence in Frederick county. Dorsey left the city shortly after the trial and was said to have headed for Washington or Virginia. Miss Tweedleda took no part in the demonstration. As judge Urner announced the verdict of "not guilty" she suddenly arose and in a hysterical manner cried: "He's guilty, I know he's guilty." She collapsed weeping. The next instant he brother had leaped at the man. There was no display of guns. The officers used some in guiding the courtroom.

Girl's Suit For Injury In Laundry, Is Rare Case MEMPHIS. Teen, April 27—Paney Stovall, a colored girl, was injured by an elevator in the Memphis Stream Laundry while she was at work there. She sued for damage to the amount of $5,000. In the development of the suit a peculiar statute came to light as the controlling point in the suit. If Paney at the time of the accident has more than 16 years of age she can not recover. If Paney is less than 14 years of age she cannot recover. The case has a special statute by which females between those ages who are employed in laundries and some other institutions have special rights in court in that the employer cannot make certain pleas that he can or may above 16 and below 14 years. The jury has the case under adjudgment.

Whi we have no desire to discourage any move which has for itt. purpose a solution of this praniers, yet we do think that the ap- pointment of a commission to deal with this problem by the Presi- dent of the United States is shifting responsibility. , .., Liks the slavery question, there is but one way to settle the present zacial question ‘and that is “the right way.” History records many. 50- lutions cffered on the slavery question, such as gradual emancipation ; buying the slives and compromises of many varities. All of which merely prélonged the only solution, So, it is today, there are mahy so- lutions offered as'a kind of gradual compromising sort, but to our mind taey only serve to complicate matters and prolong real action which ultimately must’ be taken in the case. In fact, knowing the white peo- ple of the South as we do, we dare say that a commission as has been st ggested would antagonize and as a retaliation, wholesale murder and lynching of inndcent men and women would follow. im ~- Evetbody ‘knows what the troubles" "Then why a conimissien te Spee ane ‘or two. years riding around the country and spending | ‘two-l ired thousand dollars, to tell us the very thing wezall know? ‘The moyt they could tell us- would be: ee “ + We find that the Colored people in. these United States are “~~—dented the rights of citizens; they are lynched, burned at the “stake; disfranchised; Jim-crowed, though they be interstate passeagers; held in pecnage, and denied a fair and impanial trial before a jury of their peers; all of which is a violation of the Constitution of the United States, which the President and every member of Congress hax swom they would protect ° and enforce.

ATLANTA, GA., April 27.—Basing his material on reliable information furnished him during the past two years. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey has prepared a booklet on the Negro in Georgia," which deals with lynching, cruelty and holding in pleasure. The phamplet mentions the celebrated Williams' "murder farm" case, the governor, an excellent index of the the governor, an excellent index of the real evidence in his possessions is outlined. At a meeting of the inter-racial committee at the Pledmont Friday, Governor Dorsey read his booklet and went into an interesting discussion of conditions in this state. His presentation of the matter and the interest he has taken in improving the situation, which was brought to a climax by the John S. Williams case, has attracted much favorable comment. The governor divided his discussion into four parts—the Negro lynched, the Negro held in peonage, the Negro driven out by organized lawlessness and the Negro subject to individual acts of cruelty. One hundred and thirty-five examples of alleged mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia were mentioned. All the cases were reported to the governor without solicitation, he stated, and in presenting them he declared that the majority of the better element of Georgia citizens condemned the acts of lawlessness. Since of the cases mentioned by the Some of the cases mentioned by the governor were as follows: THE NEGRO LYNCHED County No. L 1. July, 1919, two white men, drunk, went to the Negro section of a town in this county at night. An elderly Negro got his gun and went into the streets, it is claimed, to protect the women of his race. In the shooting which followed one of the white men was killed. The Negro was placed in the jail. The sheriff left him there with no guard, to go to another place to get a prisoner. A county commissioner hearing that a mob, was coming, went to the jailato remove the prisoner, but could find no key to unlock the door. The mob had the key. They lynched him. County No. 2. 2. October, 1919, a Negro was taken from the sheriff, who was carrying him from one county to another for safe keeping and lynched. He was a preacher and teacher. Schools and churches were closed on account of influenza and he went to work for a farmer. In a dispute about extra work, the farmer attacked the Negro with an ax. The Negro raised his gun. The farmer turned and received a load of bird shot in the back. The Negro fled but was brought back. The sheriff heard a mob threatening and removed the Negro to another county. The sheriff of this county, hearing of a mob, started with the Negro to another county, but was overtaken as desirited above. The man shot by the Negro is County No. 3 A Negro charged with assault upon a white girl, was tried to a tree and shot to death in January, 1971. No indictment has ever been found no arrest made. HELD IN PEONAGE County No. 7 1. (a) In 1830 a Negro in the place of a white farmer in this county made a crop of 2 1/2 bales of cotton and two 2-horse wagon loads of corn. The crop was treated over in the white farmer, who shouted the Negro still sawed him $115. In September the Negro was away to Atlanta, where he was arrested and paraded here and put in prison. A court of the county had the Negro worked a week. He escaped and walked to Atlanta where he was arrested again the day that he arrived, February 13, and carried back again. In his presence, the Negro charges, the farmer offered to sell him to another man, if the man would押 him $55. The whites deny this, but one admits that the other said something about paying him for the expense of his Atlanta trip. He says that he settled with the Negro in December 1920, when the Negro agreed to work through 1921 for $12.50 a month and his board, the farmer agreeing to cancel the debt of $118. On this new trade the farmer advanced the Negro $5 and bought goods for him amounting to $8. The Negro the same day ran away. It was on account of this $5 in cash and the goods, that the warrant for cheating and swindling was sworn out. The wife of the Negro, mother of a girl of nine, and a boy of eight years old, confirms her husband's story with the additional information that the farmer knifed her husband while they were killing hogs, for some trivial infraction of the farmer's orders. (b) Another Negro-worked for the same farmer in 1820. The farmer claimed to have paid him $15 a month and board, and that December 12, the Negro agreed to work during, 1921, when he, the farmer, advanced $5 to pay for a pair of shoes for him. That night the Negro ran away. A warrant for cheating and swindling was swn out and the Negro brought back. The farmer made a bond of $50 for the Negro, who agreed to work for him for seven months at $12.50 per month and board. The Negro claims that last year he was to receive $25 a month, but received nothing but a suit or two of overalls, some work shirts and shoes. He has received no settlement for last year, he says. He admits the shoes being purchased for him, but says he paid back $2 before leaving. Threatened with the chain gang, he went to work for the last man, but ran away because the farmer struck him in the face with his fist, and threatened him. Congerling William's Case (e) A Negro was sentenced to 30 days in the Fulton county chain gang for vagrancy. When he had served enough of his time to pay his fine excepting $5, the son of a farmer in this county paid him out. With ten other Negroes, he was carried to the man's farm, where they were locked up for the night. They were guarded by two armed Negroes, by day and locked up every night. The man stayed from February 1 until September 1st when he and another Negro ran away. They were caught, brought back, and whipped. The other Negro begged to be killed. The white owner shot him. A weight was put upon him. His body was put in a nearby pond back of the owner's home. Fifteen Negroes were working on the place. They were frequently beaten. (1) Another Negro was arrested in Atlanta and fined $25 for keeping late hours. The same white man paid the fine in April, 1920, and carried the Negro to the farm to work upon a promise of $40 per month, board and lodging. Three other Negroes were carried there at the same time. He remained for four months, when he escaped. He was caught and carried back, severely whipped and locked up. The St. Louis Argus Souls are tragic. The murders are alleged to have been committed to conceal the crime of person NEGRO DRIVEN OUT BY ORGAN NEGRO DRIVEN OUT BY ORGANIZED LAWLESSNESS County No. 10 1. A white man in this county received the following notice in January, 1921: "NOTICE "To Mr. .. you had better keep Negroes out of this house of yours if you don't everything you have got will be burned down to the ground. "beWare and take notice "NITE Ride, X." County No. 11 2. Negroes were being worked on a railroad in this county. A small mob visited the camp in February, 1921. They notified the white foreman and the Negroes that if they continued to work, while white men wanted jobs, they would be mobbed. A number of the Negroes were frightened away. The sheriff of the county protests that there was no danger. This occurred January, 1921. 3 December 31, 1920, a Negro living in this county was taken from his home and badly beaten. The same month, small coffins grusomely painted with a skull and cross bones, were left on the porches of two Negro homes. County No. 13 4. January, 1921. Negroes in one district of this county were notified that no Negroes would be permitted to remain in that district. At 2 a. m., January 12, a Negro living in this district was called from his bed by unknown parties. They asked him if he had made threats against the Ku Klux-Klan. He answered "no." He was informed that he would be given until Saturday night to leave the district; that if he did not leave, there would probably be war against him. They asked him if he had seen the notice posted on the nearby schoolhouse and said that notice meant all Negroes must leave, and that they had notified thirty Negro families that night. No Negroes were to be permitted to remain in the district. Firing two shots in the air, the parties left. The notice reads: "Notice to the Colored people of.... if you haven't got a job you had better get one at once. "If you are not done gathering your crop you had better finish and settle your accounts. "If you are disposing of your crop you had better be at home by dark. If you haven't got a lawful excuse for being out. WHITE CAPS." The same night, the home of another Negro farmer was fired into the shot striking the ceiling just above the head of the bed. The Negro was out of the house at the time. The governor sent the sheriff of the county a wire calling attention to the charges against the Ku Klux Klan asking: "Negroes have been called from their homes, shots fired, threats made to do them physical injury, if they had not left by night. I have four avidavits of Negroes, who have never been in court and some of whom own their own homes. This is an outrage and I beg that you will go into this district this afternoon and tonight with ample force not only to protect these Negroes, but for the purpose of making such a display as will deter these worthless white people from continuing their campaign of terror." January 17. the sheriff replied by letter: "Pursuant to your telegram, I have gone to the place directed by you and have made an investigation of the trouble accredited to the Ku Klux Klan, and I find it is the general belief that it is not the Ku-Klux-Klan, but some lawless element in the community, causing the trouble. "As best I can find out, the Ku-Klux-Klan is also conducting an investigation for the purpose of ascertaining who, the parties are in order that the law may be vindicated, "I shall keep in touch with the matter and co-operate with the citizens of the community affected, and shall do all within my power to protect the citizens." The sheriff's letter bears the seal of the Ku-Klux-Klan, and this indorsement: "Indorsed by Cameron Klan No. 17, Realm of Georgia." County No. 13 5. A Negro was killed without excuse, because aofwoegal n oultinhit cuse, it is said, by a deputy officer in this county in the latter part of 1920. A Negro minister, in preaching the funeral, said that some line of protection for the lives and property of Negroes should be formed. As a result leading Negroes were ordered to leave the place or suffer the consequences. Most of them left. Some armed themselves and remained. The better element of whites protected them. INDIVIDUAL ACTS OF CRUELTY County No. 21 1. Near a small town in this county a Negro was born fiftyeight or sixty years ago. By work, he accumulated a little money with which ten years later, he bought a farm of 140 acres, where he lived with his wife and twelve children. Three of his daughters were educated. They were school teachers. A three-room house was on the farm. The farm was well stocked, the Negro owing in 1919 outright five mules and having made payments on the purchase of a horse, a cow and thirty-five hogs. During the war with Germany this Negro family bought approximately $1,000 worth of Liberty bonds and thrift stamps. The Negro headed an organization of Negroes, who raised between $18,000 and $11,000 for Liberty bonds. His work was highly praised by newspapers at the time. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,APR.29,1921 Gov. Says God Will Condemn Georgia "In some counties," said the Governor, "the Negro is being driven out as though he was a wild beast; in others he is being held a slave; in others no Negroes remain. No effort has been made to collect the cases cited. If such an effort were made I believe the number could be multiplied. In only two of the 135 cases cited is the usual crime against white women involved." Then the Governor added: "If conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more severely than God and man have condemned Belgium and Leopold for the Congo atrocities. But worse than that condemnation would be the continued toleration of such cruelties in Georgia." The white man had his land processioned. The Negro had no representative present. The processioners ran the man's line 25 feet over the Negro's line, across a terrace which had been there since the Negro was a child working for the family from whom he bought the land. The deed given to him covered the land to the terrace. The white man crossed the terrace, drove stakes along the new line and warned the Negro not to cross the line. The Negro disgruntled the warning and continued to plough to the terrace, as he had been doing since boyhood. Blacks and whites from the country crowd the town Saturday afternoons. On Saturday, the fall of 1919, the Negro with his three daughters and son came to town. The town marshal approached the Negro in the street and said: "I have a warrant for you." The Negro answered. "Mr. — what have I done? Read your warrant." The marshal replied with an oath that he would rather kill the Negro than read the warrant. Here the evidence varies. The Negro had a stick in his hand. Some say that the marshal, who is large and powerful, grabbed the stick and struck the Negro in the face with a pistol, knocking him down. Others state that the Negro, raising his stick, backed away, when the marshal rushed in and struck him to the ground with his pistol. Several other white men rushed upon him and began to choke and beat him. Two of the daughters strated to him. A man kicked one girl in the stomach. The other reached her father and began to wipe the blood from his face. The three were quickly overpowered. The third daughter and the son were caught. All were locked in jail. The girl who was kicked was menstruating. The blow made her deathly sick. She lay in jail moaning and begging that something be done for her, and her father, who was bleeding badly from his wounds. The sheriff locked them in and left them without medical attention and ignorant of the charge against them. Next morning the Negro learned that his neighbor had sworn out a warrant against him for trespass. The sheriff refused to tell him what the charge was against his son and daughters. The Negro employed a lawyer. Then he found that he and his daughters were charged with resisting an officer in the discharge of his duty, his son with carrying a pistol. Only one witness claimed to have seen the pistol. This was the white neighbor, who said that he had seen the son put the pistol in the buggy, while the crowd was on his father. The buggy was searched. The pistol was not found. Talk of lynching the Negro and his family caused their removal to another county. A committee of citizen wafted upon the judge of the circuit, who informed them it is charged, that he would put the Negro in the chaining, when the case should come up for trial. The man, his daughters and son were tried in the superior court. The father was sentenced to serve twelve months in the chaining and pay a fine of $250. The girls were fined $50 each. The son was fined $100. The Negro paid the fines of his children. The man's smaller children and his wife were in his home, while he was in jail. A mob led by the town marshal went to the house, kicked the door and demanded admittance, then shot up the house and went away. This was night. Next morning, the woman and her children, fled from her home never to return. A friend went by night and removed the livestock belonging to the family, and sold it for them at a great sacrifice. Their crop was a total loss. They will be lynched, it is said. If any of them ever return to their home. Reputable merchants and bankers in this county mite in giving the Negro and his family a good character. The son has been offered a loan of $450 by a leading farmer to pay a note, the holder of which threatened suit during these troubles. A leading merchant gave the father a line of credit running from $800 to $1,500 a year. One of the best citizens of the county signed his bond. which the sheriff said he would accept the white, decharing, "no Negro shall help another Negro to beat me out of my money." shot the Negro twice. No effort was made to arrest the white man, and the first grand jury refused to indict him. Subsequently he was rearrested, indicted and convicted in April, 1920, of "shooting at another." His sentence was twelve months and six months in jail or a fuse of $300. The Negro recovered. The character of the white is shown by his conviction of rape upon a Negro woman under circumstances so vite that a white jury convicted him and sentenced him to twelve months in the penitentiary in January, 1920. County No. 23. 3. In November, 1920, a Negro preacher was forced at the point of a pistol to enter a motor car. He was carried three miles into the country, stripped, tied to a log and beaten. He was left unconscious. When he recovered consciousness, he left the county. He knows the names of those who beat him, but dares not tell for fear of death. The sheriff of the county writes the governor: "I understand this Negro has been trying to organize the Negro women at _____—not to wash or cook for the white people only for a certain price is the reason he was whipped. I also don't think it would do any good to offer a reward, because we won't be able to convict anybody unless the Negro that got whipped will swear to the parties." THE REMEDY To end these conditions the governor suggests a thorough investigation by Georgians, and then the enactment of the following laws: (a) Establishing a state constabulary under proper safeguards and authorizing the governor, upon his own motion, to send members of such force into any county of the state to quell disorder or to protect the life and property of any citizen. (b) Imposing a financial penalty upon any county in which a lynching may occur. (c) Authorizing the governor of the state to appoint at any time any three judges of the superior court to act as a commission to investigate any lynching occurring in any county of the state and empowering the governor to remove from office any public official found by such commission to have failed to enforce or uphold the law. (d) Giving the governor the discretion and power, in any case of mob violence or lynching to authorize and direct any judge of the superior court to draw grand and petit juries from the state at large for the consideration and trial of such cases, and authorize the governor to designate the place at which the trial or trials shall be held. METEOR SHOWERS HOT METAL OVER GEORGIA The Associated Negro Press MACON, Ga., April 27—A meteor or a series of meteors, passed over Middle and Southern Georgia about 9 o'clock this morning, exploding and showering hot metal. At Pitts in Wilcox county, more than a dozen heavy explosions were heard then as if a machine gun had been pressed into action, there was a sharp crackling of the air for several minutes and red-hot metal, some pieces weighing six pounds, fell to the earth. In the wake of the falling fragments was a trail of black smoke. The sky was cloudless. Most of the pieces fell in open fields and so far as known no one was injured. Many other towns in the Southwestern part of Georgia, reported late that both the white and Colored workmen and employees were badly frightened at all points where the meteor was sighted. Income instances people stopped, worked and began to pray, and special services were held in churches, believing that Judgment day was near.

RACE JUDGED TOO NARROWLY RACE JUDGED TOO NARROWLY The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL, April 20—A rather interesting news item appears in the Philadelphia Public Ledger referring to a meeting held there under the auspices of an inter-racial committee. Says the Ledger: "The speakers stressed the common right of all citizens, without reference to race or color, to proper enjoyment of public utilities and to full opportunity to make the best use of God-given facilities. "One of the speakers said: The Negro shrinks with the same delicacy as does the refined man of white skin from everything that savors of intrusion. Without congeniality of tastes and viewpoints, without good fellowship, there can be no social equality." Raymond T. Bye, assistant professor of Economics in the Wharton School, traced the prevalent lack of understanding on equality. He showed that most white people, from childhood up, have more contact with the uneducated type of Colored unskilled laborer, such as house servants, than with people of culture and refined feeling. They consequently judge the whole Race by that one type, instead of aggregating the evidence of the graduation in the Colored go in the white man. FOUR BILLS INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS AGAINST LYNCHING The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27—President Harding's message to Congress has spurred Senators and Representatives to action. Bills and resolutions are being introduced hither, thither and on, seeking to carry out his landful suggestions. By the same token, members of the Democratic minority are bestirring themselves with sensational vigor and efforts to shine for their constituents by introducing measures ridiculous in their purport of prejudicial and antiquated demands. On the subject of lynching there have been at least four bills introduced. The first by Senator McCormick calls for a commission on lynching. Accompanying the bill, Senator McCormick has sent a communication to Senator Nelson, chairman of the judiciary committee, to which the bill has been referred. In it the Senator says: "The appalling number of lynchings since the New Year; the condition of poignage and the horrible murders consequent thereon, disclosed in the Williams trial in Jasper county, Georgia, cry out for immediate action by Congress." After quoting that portion of President Harding's message to Congress on the Race Question, Senator McCormick continues: "If there be doubt as to the Constitutional powers of Congress to legislate for punishment of lynch murders there can be none as to the Constitutional powers to create such a commission as my bill contemplates. If by inaction we continue to countenance lynching we shall invite the reproduction of the people of the United States and indeed, of the civilized world." Senator McCormick seeks to have it distinctly known that he prefers a bill on lynching that will punish the lynchers. If this can be worked out. He says: "If the lawyers on the Committee on judiciary can draft a bill to confer upon the national government, under the constitution, the power to apprehend and punish indictors to mob violence, and those who murder in the name of lynch law, I hope that they may do so, and with dispatch. * * * * If the committee deem it wise to broaden the scope of the bill in the sense suggested in the President's address, well and good, but above all I ask for action on the measure to the end that the President may appoint a commission which by public presentation of the uncontroverted facts, may organize and mobilize public opinion to assure the support of the people for the law officers of the state and imbue them with the courage and the sense of duty necessary to guard men and women from lynching." Other Bills Introduced Other bills introduced other bills on lynching have been introduced, as predicted by the Associated Negro Press, by Congressman Dyer of St. oulis, and Congressman Dallinger, of Massachusetts. There bills are somewhat similar, and seek to hold the county responsible to the extent of $10,000 to dependent families where citizens have been put to death. They also provide for fine and imprisonment, imprisonment not to exceed five years, and fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Senator Spencer, of Kansas, has introduced a bill calling for a Commission of nine persons to be known as the Commission on the Racial Question in the United States. This bill pro- were Lessing J. Rosenwald, son of J.ulus Rosenwald, of Sears, Roebuck & Company, and J. H. Howell, secretary-treasurer of the American Relief Society. The Rev. Richard W. Hogue, executive secretary of the Church League for Democracy was also one of the speakers. The intent of the meeting and the expressions of the speakers were indeed kingly. The vast majority of the Colored people are more interested, however, in the practice of social ethics, legal justice and industrial fairplay. At any rate it is rather interesting to see an interest expressed by an important group on any phase of the racial attitude. HAMPTON INSTITUTE The Hampton Institute Alumni, who are engaged in raising a fund of $30,000 to provide Hampton with a modern and well equipped athletic field, which will cover six acres, accommodate 20,000 people, and serve the entire colored student bodies in the eastern half of the United States, attended a reunion luncheon and made additional pledges. The president of the Hampton Athletic Field Association is Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; the Chairman of the Executive Committee is Charles H. Williams of Hampton Institute; and the Treasurer is Don A. Davis of Hampton Institute. Need of Leaders. Dr. Sara W. Brown, who is a teacher of biology in the Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., and who was graduated from Hampton in 1887, pointed out the following significant comparison: One physician to 3194 Negroes and 532 white; one dentist to 20,500 Negroes and 2970 whites; one college president or professor to 40,611 Negroes and 5301 whites; one lawyer, judge, or justice to 12,315 Negroes and 718 whites; and one school teacher to 384 Negroes and 145 whites. Anniversary Guild. Among the guests who attended the Hampton Amendedury, were: Charles D. Bingham, New York; Dr. and Mrs. D. Bingham, New York. THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7-12 Negroes PRODUCED IN AGAINST LYNCHING resentatives Spurred president's Message vides that the Commission shall be divided into three groups of three men each, two white and one Colored; serving one, two and three years respectively, that the composition of the commission shall be three white men from the North; three white men from the South, and three Colored men. An appropriation of $50,000 per year is asked for. The commission shall have the authority to inquire into and thoroughly investigate the conditions surrounding the Colored people of the United States, assert, if possible, the cause of the trouble and if there be racial friction, the cause of the same, and to suggest such remedies as they may deem best calculated to relieve the situation, and to bring about harmonious relations between white and Colored Americans." Representative Layton of Delaware, has introduced a bill calling for a "Negro Industrial Commission," of five members, "at least three of whom shall be members of the Negro race to be appointed by the President of the United States." The salary of each member shall not exceed $5,000 per annum, except in the case of the chairman, who shall be designated by the President. The duties of the commission shall be "to study the economic conditions of the Negro; to study the labor problems in which the Negro is interested; to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry among the Negroes of this country; to promote the general welfare of the Negro in industrial pursuits; to give aid, and to encourage the general uplift of the Negro; to work out plans for elution of different problems confronting the Negro race in the United States; to consider all questions pertaining to the Negro that may be referred to said commission by any department of the United States government, and report the proper solution of any and all problems that may be presented to the commission by any officer of the United States; to investigate all labor conditions for the best interest of the communities in which the labor questions may arise; to investigate all labor questions that may be referred to said commission by the governor of any state and do what is necessary to regulate labor conditions; to do what may be necessary for the stability of labor in different states; to stimulate out Bolshervism wherever it may exist; to report to Congress through the President of the United States; all their acts and doings to make recommendations for the solution of any problems or problem affecting the Negro that they may deem advisable." The sum of $200,000 is asked for but in the appropriation for the first year. Haliti and San Dominic. Senator Hiram Johnson of California has introduced a resolution calling for an investigation into the affairs of Haiti and San Domingo. Senator Harrison and Congressman Johnson, both of Mississippi, have introduced bills calling for segregation in the street cars of the District of Columbia. A bill to create a commission on lynching has been introduced in the House by Representatives Martin Ansorge of Harlem, New York. It is practically a companion bill to the Metrorick measure introduced in the Senate recently. ton, Va.; Dr. and Mrs. S. C.

April 20.—Disorder resulted in Circuit court here late Tuesday afternoon when a jury acquitted Charles Henry Dorsey, a Negro, of a charge upon Miss Delise Tweedle of Baltimore. The Negro was struck by members of the girl's family, an inkwell hit at him struck the clerk of the court, and Dorsey was saved from mob violence by one of the judges. Dorsey finally was spirited to jail and is under a heavy guard.

The death rate is both unwarranted and too high among Colored people in all sections of the country. It is a good thing for undertakers, but a mighty poor proposition for the people. One of the statisticians for a big industrial insurance company called attention to the high rate of mortality among Negroes in a recent address delivered before a branch of one of the welfare organizations just now working industrially for the social uplift of the race. This distinguished statistician stated that his company had issued 1,750,000 policies among Negroes about one sixth of the entire Negro population in the country. In my opinion this is 1,749,900 policies too many. The address was a contemptible misstatement of the basic causes for the death rate maintained among the Colored element of the nations population. Let me call attention to two or three facts which may throw a measure of truthful light on the situation. In the cities there are two outstanding facts that tend to make inevitable certain of the conditions of a high death rate among Negroes—city government indifference to the upholding of unsanitary public theoreas in the "Negro districts," and the sentimentally pernicious attitude assumed toward Negroes honestly seeking to shake off the disease-laden shackles of these untoward conditions—peonage, farming conditions that are permitted to grow out of these awful forms of present-day Negro slavery. My observations lead me to believe that professional social welfare work offers but the slightest thread of a solution for the mortality problem of the Negroes. Economic independence is the only way out of the unhappy condition. Until we produce an element of the race economically circumstanced to pay the bill industrial insurance companies will find half truth reasons for charging Negroes higher insurance rates and then oblige us to listen to the hard baked conclusions of their hired statisticians on the subject of the high rate of mortality among us. "Emperor Jones" is bringing us thrilling but interesting bits of 'com-troversy. We are glad of Glipin's success but we are quite shy of enthusiasm when our attention is called to the story the play tells. The Indianapolis Ledger is the last to come to the fore with what I regard a timely and worthwhile editorial on the THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, APR. 29, 1921 diseases, strengthen the roots and promote a new growth of hair. All these are Lilly White Preparations. The two operators are: left, Mrs. Rosie Lvy; right, Mrs. Nellie Palmer. The Lilly White System was founded by Madam Graves in 1913 and has shown a steady growth; now being used exclusively by several hundred Hair Cultureurs throughout the country. question. And yet I somehow feel we are not meeting the issue clearly enough. We are so close to the inhibitions in American life that our judgments of matters are ever colored by the overshadowing presence of their restraints and prescription. We are overlooking. I assume the incontestible fact that the "Emperor" is a universal character. The gambler the profligate, the thief, the convict are not now our particular property and never were. The emotional celebrations of the play's motif are as true of Curtinella, an Italian bandit recently executed in the city of Chicago, as they are of the pseudo "Emperor," or Jack "O'Brien," the Irish convict and mprender or of any of the Jewish gamblers and guardman of the east side of New York "City" or of Henry Neldermier, the German "var barn bandit" of Chiergo. In fact, modern life, to the very point of distraction, is choked with personal abundance of "Emperors." I have great respect for the opinions of the editorial department of the Indianapolis ledger. What I have to say in this instance is not done in the spirit of captions criticism, but is given expression through a desire to broaden our viewpoint to the end that we will regard our group as part and parcel of the processes which aim at the higher attitudes of life. We must produce fewer "Emperors." The April magazines are beinful of good things. The Competitor come to us with Walter S. Buchanan as its new business manager and is literally alive with good reading matter" the Negro Outlook is strong in editorial comment by the veteran T. Thomas Fortune; the Up-Beach looks bright and fresh; the Messenger contains as its chief piece a critical study of "Charles Gilpin. Prominent Negro Actor" and Music and Poetry maintains its position as one of the high class publications of the race. An original composition, studies by Helen Hagan, Cleona Collins, Kemper Harrold, Milford Bryant Jones and Melville Charlton and an interesting bit of editorial comment on "Caricatures and Portraits" are among the features of the April issue. Senator Borah of Idaho has introduced in the upper house of the National Congress a bill that seeks to enforce the sincere maintenance of our constitutional guarantees. I cite this fact because many of us have long been of the opinion that the Idaho Senator was not square on the "Hate Problem." For one I don't care a tinker's what you may call it whether he is sound on the problem question or not. But if he stands square on the maintenance of constitutional guarantees he helps to bring about a solution of all the rexing national problems, whether he sincerely wills it or not. Senator Borah is a type. Types correctly seek to preserve themselves. On my own part, I would not be one whit surprised if it could be proven that way beneath the skin the man from Idaho is keeping under cover a sort of contempt for his brother-in-black. But what does that matter? If we are true to ourselves and shoulder with him the responsibility of sincerely maintaining all the guarantees of the National Constitution for all the people we must be spending the most of our time whining about our rights. The Associated Negro Press HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., April 27. Dr. Sara W. Brown, who is a teacher of biology in the Dumbarton High School, Washington, D. C., and who graduated from Hampton in 1887, recently painted out the following significant comparison: "Some physician to 3194 Negroes and 353 whites; one dentist to 20,500 Negroes and 2070 whites; one college president or professor to 10,511 Negroes and 3,391 whites; one lawyer, judge or justice to 12,315 Negroes and 518 whites; and one school teacher to 224 Negroes and 145 whites." TEXAS G. O. P.'S ARE WARRING AGAIN The Associated Negro Press. DALLAN. Texas. April 20.-Harry Beck, chairman of the Black and Tan faction of Texas in the late election, has called a meeting of representatives of that faction for noon Saturday at city hall here, he announced Friday. Incidentally, it developed that considerable controversy has developed between the Lily White and the Black and Tan factions over G. O. P. patronage in Texas following the inauguration of President Harding, which is said to explain the delay in appointment of postmasters and other important federal officials in many Texas cities. The Lily Whites, it was learned, relied upon the official recognition accorded them at the Chicago convention when the Black and Tans were ruled out, and the Lily Whites accepted as the ortodox representatives of the party in Texas, will hold aloof from Beck's conferences. Saturday Beck's conferences will be followed by a meeting of the State Black and Tan executive committee, he said. The Associated Negro Press MEMPHIS. Tenm, April 27.—An drew Jackson.

He is serving his third term in Congress, and is a close personal friend of President Harding. He is held in highest esteem by the Colored people of his district, which is also the residence of Hon. Cornelius N. Richardson at Richmond. The sixth district is the home of Senator James E. Watson, at Rushville, and is the native hearth of Nahum Daniel Brascher of The Associated Negro Press, who was born in Richmond and reared in Connerville. It is needless to say that Mr. Brascher is proud of the lofty patriotism of the men from his native home, both of whom have known him from boyhood. Rutner persists, in the air of the capital, that Hon. Charles W. A. Anderson is again being considered for the important post of Collector of the Port of New York. He has been known to say that he seeks nothing but nevertheless he seems to have some very energetic advocates. In the matter of appointments there has become a bit of anxiety, but before the link of this is cold, the President may have sent the name of one or more Colored statesmen to the Senate for confirmation. There will be a goodly number of Colored appointments, and while there may be protests from Democrats, careful investigation among Republican senators by the Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that oce the men are named by President Harding, they will be readily confirmed. The Senate does not seem to be in a frame of mind to dilly-dally on the principles of justice. It is a delightful perspective, landscape from the Washington mount-landscape from the Washington monument. The Associated Negro Press WHEELING, W. Va., April 27.—Driven from their homes in many instances without being given an opportunity to collect their belongings, Colored residents of Beech Bottom, Brooke county, have sought temporary refuge in surrounding towns, nearly a score housed in hotels and among friends in Wheeling. The Race riot. Saturday night was the aftermath of an attack Friday night on Mrs. John Horne, a white woman, 22 years old, who was waylaid, it is believed, by two prisoners who escaped from the Wellsburg jail. One of the prisoners was a Negro. The mob spirit developed soon after news received in Beech Bottom of the outrage and many Colored citizens were warned by friends that they had better leave the community. No violence was shown, however, till after dark, when a crowd collected and made a tour of the Colored section. Families were roused from their beds and informed that they had till noon Sunday to get out, these warnings being punctuated with a fusillade of shot. From one refugee, a woman who with two small children, is now staying at the Vele Hotel-on Market street, it was learned that the mob numbered at times 75 men and boys, some of the latter appearing not more than 14 years old, and all armed with rifles, revolvers and shot guns. LARGER FOOD CROPS The Associated Negro Press. HAMPTON, VA., April 20.—Negro farms of Virginia are working systematically to improve their land, grow larger food crops, build more attractive homes, and encourage their boys and girls to go to school, is the report of John B. Pierce, special agent of the States Relations Service of the Virginia Colored district agents. Lizzie A. Jenkins, Griffin E. Oliver, John L. Charity and Julian E. Bagley, who are successfully developing state-wide extension work among Colored farmers and their families. The report says: Of three boards of supervisors that had failed to appropriate money for the work of Colored county agents, two were finally induced to make appropriations. Eight county advisory boards were induced to adopt plans of work which had been suggested by the local county agent. Three county advisory boards have already selected delegates for the Hampton Institute Farmers, Conference, which will be held on June 29 and 30. Other boards are planning to select delegates. " Six counties were visited with a to securing local aid to finance the employment of a year-round home demonstration agent. In one county the board of supervisors made the appropriation that had been requested. In four other counties the Colored citizens supplied the necessary money. Another district agent reported that 207 Colored boys in six counties had enrolled in club work. In the same territory 287 demonstrations will be conducted by Colored farmers. Another section, including three counties, has enrolled 187 Colored boys in club work. There the farmers, in addition to carrying on many demonstrations in corn, wheat, cats, cowpeas, alfalfa, potatoes and other valuable crops, are learning how to raise poultry for profit. The Associated Negro Press, HAMPTON, VA., April 20.—That tuberculosis can be eradicated from dairy herds is the experience of Hampton Institute, Dr. George C. Faville, who is the institute veterinarian, has just completed the annual test of the Hampton Institute herds for tuberculosis and has found them absolutely free. "It is rather unusual," says Warren A. Bloogdiet of the Hampton Institute Agricultural School, "for any dairy farm voluntarily to have a herd test annually because the testing is so expensive. We are very fortunate in having a skilled veterinarian who can do this work for us. It is a great credit to have a herd from which all tuberculosis has been eradicated, because several years ago, when we began testing herds, we would had several animals each year that had 50 be killed. This should be of interest to farmers who have dairy herds. The Associated Negro Press. PROVIDENCE. R. I.

April 27-The Hampton Institute alumni who are engaged in raising a fund of The Periscope By Associated Negro Press (By William Pickens) Have you noticed that all man's inventions and machines represent only refinements of his natural powers or extensions of his natural body? A hammer is but a hardened fist, a knife but a sharpened nail; a microscope but an amplified pupil; and a telescope but an extended eye. In a true sense all of man's work represents only an "improvement" or projection of himself. The great express train is but a marvelous development of man's locomotive powers; it is fleet feet transformed into fleeter wheels. One hundred years from now this projection and extension of man will have gone beyond our present imagination. Arthur L. Macbeth, a colored photographer of Baltimore, Maryland, proposes new to show moving pictures, not in a darkened room, but in full light, even in an open park on a bright noonday. He claims to have an idea so simple that all other motion picture scientists have overlooked it; they show bright pictures when all about is darkness; perhaps he will produce dark pictures when all is light. And the moving picture itself is but an extension of man's eye, of his power to see like a telescope. But the telescope is but an extension of that power of space, while the "movie" extends the power into both space and time. Thru the telescope we see far-off present events thru the cinema we see far-off past events. The telescope discloses what is occurring on the moon now; the cinema shows us what occurred in China last year, or shells bursting in Flanders in 1918, or Roosevelt speaking in New York in 1916, and the familiar phonograph stands in the same relation to man's ear. Both the telephone and the phonograph are extensions of man's ear. But the telephone, like the telescope, apprises man of present events—while the Victrola will permit him to hear the voices and the music of past ages. The telescope and the telephone respectively extend man's eye and ear into space; when the cinema and the phonograph extend the eye and the ear into time. The cinema and the phonograph represent a sort of "fourth dimensions" of human sight and human hearing; presents a sort of "fourth dimension" of human sight and human hearing. So much for "improvements" on two of the keenest and most useful of our five senses.

Further details Will Marion Cook, the famous composer and director, who has been abroad with his orchestra and a singing act for over a year, returned to New York on the steamer 'Albania, arriving a short while ago. In an interview with J. A. Jackson of the Billboard he disclosed the fact that he is here for the purpose of organizing a company to be called "The Cotton Blossoms," numbering 45 stage artists and "a singing orchestra of 35 artists, who will present a unique production that is described by Mr. Cook as a comedy drama and music. One of London's leading theatrical magnates is promoting the project. Rehearsals will be conducted in New York and the completed organization will sail for England June 15 prepared to open one of the leading theatres immediately after its arrival. Further details will be forthcoming when Mr. Cook will have closed some contracts with principles with whom he has entered negotiations. During the interview Mr. Cook described the circumstances surrounding Colored artists in England and on continent as being most favorable. Abbie Mitchell (the former wife of Mr. Cook) a once leading lady of the Lafayette Players, is starring an act in the London halls called "Hill Harmonie." She is supported by a male quartette. The acts run 25 minutes and is a singing succession of complete stories of Negro music from primitive spirituals to grand opera. Whaley & Scott after being England's comedy favorites for several seasons, are now in the halls at a salary of 300 pounds a week. The versatile three, Buck, Mills & Hastons are court favorites and a week rarely passes that they are not commanded to appear at a function for one of the royal family or one of the nobility. Louis Douglas and Sonny Jones, who went abroad as Belle Davis' Pickanninies, are doing a dancing act that enjoys steady work at a very high figure. A quartette known in America as the "Exposition Jubilee Four" is in London under the name of the "Royal Southern Singers," and are actually stopping the show at the Coliseum and other big halls. Payne, Rosemond, Denny and Williams are the members of the act. On the continent several Colored acts are going strong. Louis Mitchell and his band are in the midst of a long engagement at the Alhambra, the largest theater and cafe in Brussels, Belgium. The five Red Devils are the prevailing sensation at the Follies Berger: Paris, Opal Cooper, Thompson, Elliott, Carpenter and Graytao are in the company. These, with Cook's orchestra appearing in London, represent the big crashes in the music game abroad. There are probably three score or more of Colored acts on the continent and their work has given them a more permanent place in public esteem than that so, being a mere vogue. Mr. Cook is most emphatic in stating that there is no sign of diminished interest in the performances of Negro artists, rather his commission to organize the big company is cited as proof that the height of popularity is yet ahead Your Hair PLOUGH CHEMICAL CO.
