J. Smitherman Rushes to Scene of Trouble After Sending Telegrams to The Governor And The Sheriff of Creek County. Well Known Bristow Negro Plays Part of Judas And Traitor in a Mean Attempt to Do Harm to Editor Smitherman. Bristow, Okla., August 19—A race riot was narrowly averted late Saturday afternoon when a mob of several hundred white men attempted to take the law in their hands and lynch Edgr Bohanana, Colored man who had been arrested charged with robbing and shooting a white man of this place last Friday. Only the determined stand of chief J. F Klagaman and deputy sheiff R. C. Nelson, Colored, of Sayulpa, prevented the lynching which would have precipitated a bloody race riot as fully two hundred Colored farmers were in town armed to the teeth waiting for the mob to start something. Chief of police Fears warned the mob that he would shoot to kill if the prisoner was molested and they took his word for it. after considrable excitement the prisoner was finally placed on a north bound train in charge of deputy sheriff Nelson and launced safely in the county jail at Sopulpa. During the highst pitch of the excitement a telegram was sent to Tulsa Star asking for help to prevent a repetition of the Dewey outrage and editoor Smithereen soon appeared on the scene in person ready to lend every assistance possible to quell the riot, but he found the prisoner gone and the excitement somewhat subsided. The editor waas in the act of returning to the station to board a train for Tulsa when a young mob needed by two officers intercepted him and demanded a large hard bag which he carried with him. He refused to give it up and was commanded to open it in order that they might see the contents. This the editor alo refused to do, whereupon a certain constable threatened to cut it open but the editor was as determined as he was cool headed and the little constable did not use his handy knife. The officers told the editor that they had orders to arrest him and when he demanded their authority or from whom such orders had come they pointd out the mayor who was in the mob. Editor Smitherman ap proached the mayor and asked: "Are you the mayor of this town?" The mayor replied: "I am why?!" "Do you wish to kno' who I am" the editor continued. "No," replied the mayor, "it doesn't matter who you are, that grip is what we want." The Editor's reply did not reach the re WEEKLY MAIL EDITION Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA..

At the depot the editor was again surrounded by the mob but the appearance on the scene of several of the leading Col. ord men of the town evidently re the cassured him of his safety and he stood there jollying with his would be captors until the train pulled in. He then shook hands with the officers and a few of his friends and boarded the train and was soon on his way home, the grip still unoppened. It developed dtoday that J. H. Hamilton a well known Negro of this place, who was in Tulsa Saturday and left on the same train that Editor Smitherman and three true race men left on, had tephone the authorities at this place from Sepulpa that Smitherman was headed for Pristow with guns and ammunition and a gang to start a race riot, and pointed the editor out to them upon arrival here. This accounts for the unfortunate experience the good editor had while here. Editor's Note—Upon receiving the telegram referred to in the above article we immediately sent the following telegram to Gov. Williams: Hon. R. L. Williams, Governor, Oklahoma City, Okla. I am reliably informed that a raid riot is imminent at Bristow. Kindly act at once (Signed) A. J. SMITHERMAN. The same message was sent to the sheriff of Creek county at Sapulpa and one to eDputy Sheriff R. C. Nelson, Sapulpa, telling him we were going to Bristow and asking him to contact us at Sapulpa and accompany us. GOVERNOR ACTS Upon our return from Bristow Saturday night the following telegrams was received from Governor Williams and the sheriff of Creek county: Capitol, Oklahoma City, Okla., A. J. Smitherman, Tulsa, Okla. Chief of police at Bristow report there is no trouble. (Signed) R. L. WILLIAMS, Gov From the sheriff of Creek County: Sapulpa, Okla. Race riot seems to be over. Prison er is now in, jail at Sapulpa. (Signed) Sherriff's Office. Let the Negro stay out of the courts unless he has real business in them. So many of us certainly like to "dite" some one we do not like much. The race must pull together on all moves which means the betterment of our condition; one of the many hadicaps in life that the Colored manhas to go up against is the most of his pulling has been against the other man. Let us learn the great lesson that In union there is strength A report was circulated that Colored people were not allowed to reside at Collinsville, and we sent the Business men a letter touching on same and his reply will explain itself: Hon. C. H. Wright, Business Manager, Collinsville, Okla. Dear Sir: On the 24th of this month the voters of Tulsa county will be called upon to say with their ballot whether or not Collinsville shall be accepted as a part of Tulsa county. It is concerning this that I am sending you this letter. I am reliably informed that no Colored people live in Collinsville and that you have an ordinance there prohibiting Colored people living there and that this discrimination is applied donly to Colored people. Such discrimination is, of course, unfair and decidedly contraversed to the grand principles of democracy for which our boys, black and dwhite alike,' are sacrificing their all on the battle fields of France. The object of this letter is to seek information which will enable a large per cent, of the voters of Tulsa county to vote intelligently on August 4th, and we will highly appreciate ea frank and hasly reply. We desire to know what the attitude of the people of your town will be toward Colored people in the event of its acceptance eas a part of Tulsa county? Will you kindly favor me with a prompt reply? Yours very truly. Yours very truly, A J. SMITHERMAN, Editor. Collinsville, Okla., Aug. 20, 1918 A. J. Smitherman, In answer to your letter of the 19th I will state that there are no Negroes living in the city but who ever informed you that there is an ordinance prohibiting colored people from moving or living here is mis-informed for there is no such thing. There was a time when this city was inhabited principally by native citizen when the people would not allow Negroes to stop over night but that was in the pioneer days but since the smelters have been here and people who are used to hiring Negro help have moved here there has been some desiries expressed to secure this kind of help. But possible due to old traditions no such help has been obtainable. We all appreciate and land the spirit and fighting ability of our Colored boys who are fighting for Us Like Br TAR OUR SUBSCRIBE LIST MARK VALUAI MEDIUM ADVERT ITION of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction 1918. stow, O A Big C ed Fa Boley Welcom Race to At Greeting: The Negro Industrial State Fair, after a careful consideration of its board of directors, has decided to hold its second annual state fair in the city of Boley, in Okfuskee county, Oklahoma, beginning Wednesday, September 5th and closing on a Saturday September 28, 1918. The object of this state fair is to show to the world at large, what the Negro citizens of Oklahoma are capable of producing and their present progress. There is probably no state in the United States that excels or even equals the Negro population of Oklahoma, in wealth and progress. Oklahoma, though only 11 years old, stands first as regard the Negro population in the ownership of real estate, personal property, and educational progress. We desire at all times to keep the progress of our people at the front, that it may be a lasting monument to the thrift, industry, and patriotism of the American Negro, and there is no better way of displaying our progress and products to the world, than through the medium of a state fair. Boley being the largest Negro city in the United States and being centrally located between the east and west side of the state, has been chosen as the permanent location of this fair. You are therefore cordially invited to attend this state fair, and to bring your exhibits to the fair, for which suitable premiums will be given. It ought to be the aim of every Negro in the state to attend this fair and bring the products of their industry for exhibition. This fair has the hearty endorsement of the Honorable Robt, L. Williams, governor of the tState of Oklahoma, and every state official in this state. The governor will one day during the fair deliver an address to the Negro population of the state. We want you to come and bring your families with you, and help us to make this the greatest fair ever held by our people in the United States. Bring your five stock, poultry and farm products. A large premium list will in a few days be published. Boley is located on the famous ozark trail that leads from east to west through the state of Oklahoma. You can come in your automobiles or your wagons, and be independent of railroad travel. You can stay as long as you wish and leave when you get ready. The citizens of Boley through their able oCommercial club is making every preparatoin to entertain fifteen thousand people at this fair. Ample hotel accommodations will be the liberty of the world the same as the union boys fought for the Negros' liberty in the Civil war. They are all inbued with the same spirit both black and white. The only thing that has caused the White people to kick about Negros has been because work was hard to get beore the war and there were a clas sof laborers afraid they might lose their jobs, talians, Spaniards, Mexicans and Negroes were all treated alike in these times so it couldn't be considered that the Negros were discriminated against on account of their color but because of a fract in human nature that caused a man to try to keep some one else from getting his job. Yours truly, C. K. WRIGHT. ARRESTED AND FINED FOR LOANING MONEY TO PROSPECTIVE EMIGRANTS GALVESTON, Tex.—Rev. Elijah C. Branch was arrested and fined $100 one given 30 days in jail because he advanced money to people of his race who desired to go North to better their condition. FIRST AMERICAN FIGHTER IN FRANCE NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 15.

He pointed out in a most luminous manner the duty of the race in support of the war policies of the government and urged the people to respond cheerfully to the call to the colors, to buy Liberty bonds and war savings stamps, to contribute generously to the funds for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and to engage heartily in all of the activite designed to aid the nation in the winning of the war. Dr. Bowen spoke to another large gathering at Hickory, N.

The full text of President Wilson's letter in denunciation of lynching will probably be circulated in France among the Colored soldiers.

The master expects for you to visit his house of worship sense time. One of the amusing features of certain religious Journalist, which reach our office, is a great deal of their space is taken up, talking about the "Peace Commission" appointed to settle the war going on in that certain religious body. How can the sinners be induced to accept the plan of salvation when the Christians are fighting like Turks. The appointment of Lieut. Russell Smith, detailed in charge of the 2nd, Britishation, Student Army Training Camp, Howard University, is the first time in the history of the United States Army when a Colored officer has been placed in charge as commanding officer of a training camp. The National Negro Business League, which has done so much to stimulate the Colored man along business lines, is holding its nineteenth annual session at Atlantic City, N.J., thi week, notable Colored men and Colored women from all parts of the United TStates are in attendance. Active Negro business leagues should be had in every town where Negroes reside. The Colored man is like men of other races in a great many respects, and especially is so when it comes to feeling good over some man of the race who has brought fame to us. We are all glad to have Sam Langford in our midst because he has learned to do some one thing real well, and we wish we Lad men along all lines as capable as Mr. Langford, "health Bulletin," a journal of the State Medical, edutal and Pharmaceutical association of Oklahoma, its appearance at The Star of Fire this week.

The ofcored churches and fraternal societies of Jackson, Teen., are are planning to have an elaborate patriotic demonstration August 29th to continue three days. Speakers of national renown will be on hand and a strenuous effort will be made to raise $2,000 for war purposes. A big parade is to be an outstanding feature of the occasion and it is expected that 25,000 marchers will take part. The affair is under the management of a local committee, headed by R. Flippin. The Negro Auxiliary of the Knox County Chapter of the American Red Cross society of Knoxville, Tenn., is doing excellent work, with Mrs. J. G. albinson is president.

One Year Six Months Three Months H. WOULD BE FREE MUST STRIKE THE BLOW The Advocate has never before combined or commended lawlessness of any sort. Just the same, we commend the action of the Colored draftees for entering the restaurant on Sixth street last week and pearning down the sign reading: "We employ white and cater to white trade only." A mighty poor welcome to see a crowd of hungry men on the way to fight, bleed and use on the battle field for world wide democracy. This is no time to discriminate in draw the color line in anything that will advance or help the cause of our soldiers or discourage any particular class of people who are doing their utmost in many ways to win the war. And now that our patriotic Mayor and city commissioners' attention have been called to this insulting sign, and there are a number of them, we want them to get busy and pass an ordinance prohibiting signs to be displayed in any public place that would or could on any class or race of people. If we are to have world democracy it must begin at home, and these boys are to be raised.

The Negro Industrial State Fair will hold its annual fair at Boley, Oklahoma, beginning on Wednesday, September 25th and will continue in session for four days, closing on the 28th day of September at mid-night. The Fair Association is trying to demonstrate to the world that the Negroes of the State of Oklahoma are making more progress than in any other state in the union, and that Oklahoma can do things that probably no other citizenship of our nationality in the United Sates is capable of accomplishing. There will be amusements of all kinds and exhibits of live stock, and agricultural products such as has never been gotten together before by the Negroes of this state. We hope to be able to secure the presence of the Honorable Governor of the State of Oklahoma to deliver an address during the fair. Everybody is earnestly urged to come out to this fair. come out to this fair. J. COODY JOHNSON. OKLAHOMA ASLEEP AGMN SOME PLACES oo the map never seem to wake up and notice things that are going on around 11 cm. and Oklahoma City is one of them. Recently the city commission of this county burg passed an ordinance which is supposed to prohibit either whites or blacks living in the same block. However, it provided that a person of one race may live in a block of the other race if the person can obtain the consent of japae-forth of all the residence of the block. The penalty for the violation of the ordinance is a fine of from $10 to $100. Will some kind hearted person send these city fathers a copy of the decision handed down by the Supreme Court of these United States on this very subject? It might make interesting reading, provided they have the sibhood enough to understand it. If there is such a gret desire to keep the dark brother out of any certain block, why do not the residentet of said block refuse to sell our rent to the objectionable party? Said objectionable party couldn't take a blackjack and force them to let him live there. We of—them to let him live there. We offer this as a free suggestion not only to Oklahoma but to all others who may have likee Neights, gambling order their hats.

HORTON, President BLACK AND DWHITE TROOPS ENGAGE IN A FATAL RACE RIOT AT CAMP MERRITT BOBOKEN, N. J., Aug. 19.—Major General Shankks, commanding the United States port of embarkation, today was conducting an investigation into a race riot Saturday night at Camp Merritt, New Jersey, near Tennafly, which is believed unofficially to have caused the death of six soldiers—five negroes and a white man. Several others are in the hospital at Camp Merritt, suffering from wounds, mainly bayonet thrusts. The riot developed, it was said by soldiers on leave from the camp, when a negro soldier from Texas, attempted to sit at a table where white soldiers from Mississippi were writing letters. A fist fight followed and both black and white soldiers soon were missing it. Two negroes and a white man were dead, says unofficial reports, when the military police and a company of soldiers cleared the Y. M. C. A. haf and the others are believed to have died later. MARRIED MEN EXEMPTED FROM CALL IN CLASS 1 Oklahoma City, August 15 — Notwithstanding the fact that Oklahoma will not have over 2,000 class 1 men left after the August calls are filled, the local boards will not be permitted to pace in class 1 any married men without children though their wives are physically and mentally qualified to support themselves. This was made plain in a telegram received today by Adjutant General E. H. Gibson from Provost Marshall General Crowder, in answer to Gipson's wire of August 5, at which time he asked authority to permit the drawing of married men whose wives are nole to support themselves A new community house, adjudged the best in the district, has been opened for Negro soldiers at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Tex.

(1) Arrangements have been made for the use of the splendid Parish House of the Church of Our eMricful Sajous at Louisville, Ky., as a club for the Colored soldiers, several thousand of whom are stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor nearby. The house has two large reception rooms, a good-sized assembly hall, large kitchen, reading and writing rooms, bowling alley, pool room, rathskellar, etc., in basement and toilet and bathing facilities. There are six dormitory rooms, suitable for 24 cots. In addition to this place, there is a prospect for a building to be equipped as a dormitory that will accommodate two to three hundred cots for the Colored soldiers isn this vicinity, with small expense, if any, to the men. A group of representative business men have agreed to furnish and equip the building with light and heat. August 3d to 18th a campaign for health, of state-wide proportions, is being carried on at Columbia, S. C. On the 4th a meeting was held, and Governor Manning presided.

Boulware, president; of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People of the state. The Colored man is a willing factor in the war. This has been convincingly demonstrated upon so many occasions that additional evidence is scarcely necessary. A striking case in point, however, may be noted in the journeying at his own capens from Birmingham, Ala., to Washington of Archie Neely, a student young Colored American. To enlist in the army, He had been refused by the local boards at his home, but was so determined to battle for Uncle Sam that he scraped together the necessary funds and came to Washington to see the officials of the War Department in person and tenure his services. His spersonality was so inviting and his plea so eloquent that Neely wa accepted. There wasn't a happier youngster in the land than Neely when he left the War Department with a paper authorizing him to proceed at once to Camp Meade.
