Tulsa Star

Don't Forget the Big Fair at Boley, Sept.25-28 A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAY BE VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING VOL. 6 Ihave always said and to some extent say yet that the Advents conception or understanding of Gods Great Plan of Salvation is, in many respects, much higher than those of the other Isms; but if the best brains of the Advents make many more such scriptorial blunders as was made by the able, in some respects Elder Nunes concerning the observance of the 7th day of the week, they will be forced to by the thinking people to take a back number of all the other Isms of the world. The scriptures do not teach and no thinking person can be made to believe that God has made a question of life everlasting or death eternal dependant upon the keeping of certain days. The scriptures specifically warns all who would be followers of Jesus Christ to let the world judge them by the fruits of the spirit and not by the keeping of certain days. Gal. 5:22-23; Col. 2:16 and 17. It is true that the law covenant relating to the keeping of the 7th day and all other features of that law covenant, was binding upon the Jews with whom it was made and it is still binding upon all Jews who do not believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, but it was never binding upon the Gentiles for the reason that they wer nvr a party to it. All Jews who accept Christas the Son of God and consecrate themselves to follow him are not undr the Law Covenant but under grace, and the only law binding upon them is the law of love. Gal. 5:14. In order to more fully understand we should know for what purpose was the Law Coveant given. The scripture informs us that the Law was given to the Jews to seve them as a teacher or instructor in the rudimentary principles of Godliness and to help all the humble minded to be ready to pass from the house of Servants into the House of Sons when Christ came. Gal. 3:24,25; but all who fail to do their best under the Law Covenant was not permitted to pass out of the Houseof Servants into the House of Sons and therefore they remain under the Law Coveant. In other words to simplify the matter, let us suppose that we are preparing persons for school teachers; their schooling would be gin with; the rudiments or first grade principles and they would remain in that grade until they gave satisfaction before the Laws or rules for passing until they complied there with. So it isss with the Jews; all must remain under the Law Coveant until they accept Christ which is the passing mark. While the Law Covenant represented only the A,B,C, principles of Devine Law, yet sinful man has never been able to keep it perfectly, Jesus Christ was the only one that ever kept the Law perfectly, and therefore He captured the prize, Life Everlasting, that was offered to any Jew who could do it. After capturing the Prize, He has arranged that the Jews may pass from under the curse of the Law by haaving faith in him and following in his foot steps. All Jews that are followers of Christ, do more by faith, than is required of them under the Law Covenant. Insead of giving one tenth to the Lord they give all; in stead of keeping one day as a sabbath unto the Lord they keep every day for they have entered into their rest (Heb. 4:3). The Gentiles (All persons not descendants of Abra haam) have never been under the Law Covenant, and therefore have nothing whatever to do with this 7th day sabbath except to note its typical significance as foreshadowing the Blessings of the Millenium. Kindly understand me. I am not interested in any of the Isms. I am WEEKLY MAIL EDITION TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1918. MSMS excep-treat re- ofains more was sects serv- they king of all and only an International Bible Student, consecrated to truthfully and fearlessly do the will of God even unto death. There many points concerning God's Plan of Salvation upon which my adventis friends and I fully agree, but their doctrine of the keeping of the 7th day as sental to Salvation, that the creative days were periods of 24 hours that Christ will appear materially and literally, and that the whole world of mankind has been on trial for life or death everlasting during this Gospel Age, are among some of the dead flies of error which make the Adventi's Gospel Pudding nau seating the logical minded and truth hungry persons. EDITOR SMITHERMAN RECIPIENT OF MANY LETTERS OF COMMENDATION That the leaders among the fore-most men of the race recognize editor Smitherman as a worthy and able man and appreciate his efforts on behalf of the race is fittingly everdened by the many letters he has received since his telegram to Governor Williams on the Dewey outrage. Space will not permit publishing all of them, but copies of a few of them are published below: McLester Okla. Aug. 20, 1918 GOV. WILLIAMS WILL ACT A. J. Smitherman, editor of the Tulsa Star and the man who was first to call Governor Williams' attention to the Dewey mob which burned out 21 homes of Colored people Aug. 11th, was a visitor at the Capitol this morning and held a conference with Governor Williams on the Dewey matter. According to a statement made by Smitherman after the conference, the governor has promised to go the limit in prosecuting the members of the mob. Tirhrty warrants have been issued for the arrest of that many participants in the mob and more will follow. Fadmire the zeal with which Eder Nunes does what he believes to be right, but after hearing the debate, I note him to be like many well meaning persons who are able to quote much scripture, but misin terpret them, not intentionally but ignorantly; but the God I serve will reward him and all men on earth for every thing do with good intentions, but greatest rewards will go to those who understand the plans of God and teach accordingly, Mat. 5:19 Adventism is not the only Ism contaminated with error. Nearly all the Isms of the world have within their Gospel pie the Flies of Hell Fire, Eternal Torment, the doctrine of the Trinity. It is but fair to say that Rev. T. S. Johnson presented the only correct scripture and logic concerning the Sabbath and Sunday. Put alas! Why such debates on such non-essential question? There may be some excuse for Rev. Johnson but there is none whatever for Elder Nunes throwing down the gauntlet in such frivolous matters during these trying hours. Both of these gentlemen could have spent their time more pleasing to the Lord had thy usd it in giving the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives and friends the consoling message God has for the world during this dark hour of war bloodshed and destruction. While the heart of the whole world is aching and the whole race of humanity is going into the valies of death God wants the ministers to tell the poor world what it all means. He wants the ministers to tell the people that just beyond this time of trouble is the world or age wherein dwelleth righteousness and that in that day (in the very near future), all the broken families will be reunited through the resurrection of the dead, that all the young men of Tulsa and elsewhere in the world that are being slain on the battlefields in this cruel war will be returned to their families and not only them but there is to be a grand jubilee and home coming of all the families of the earth both of the just and the unjust including father Adam. Jno. 5:28. It seems strange to me that no one will accept my challenge to debate the Hellfire and Eternal Torment Doctrine? Just now when so many persons are going into death it would seem to me that everybody would be glad to get all the light the scripture has on this all important question. If the Bible teaches that at death one goes straight to a Heaven of Bliss or a Hell of Torment right now is a good time for the world to know it. Every intelligent minister knows that the Bible does not teach such doctrines and they also know that the mass of the people are ignorant of that fact. Why don't they step forward like Christian gentlemen and acknowledge the error they have been taching the people. And if there is a minister who is yet so unfortunate as to believe in the blasphemous doctrine of Hell fire and Eternal Torment why he does not accept my challenge and defend his position before the public? My challenge still stands EDITOR SMITHERMAN RECIPIENT OF MANY LETTERS OF COMMENDATION That the leaders among the foremost men of the race recognize editor Smitherman as a worthy and able man and appreciate his efforts on behalf of the race is fittingly everdenced by the many letters he has received since his telegram to Governor Williams on the Dewey outrage.

Very truly yours, J. H. Lilly. Bristow, Okla. Aug. 20 1918. Dear Editor: We all thank you for you, ...only stand here last Saturday We are with you. Your friend, M. H. Wakefield, M. D. Go on my boy!

J. Smiterman, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dear Sir;—You will please accept my thanks, wit te many members and friends of my church and the race for the manly position in bebalf of the race. As one has said, "The Wheels of the Press is More in Moulding Public Sentiment, and to be Feared Than an Army of a Thousand Men". This token of respect is brought to bear from the telegram you sent to Governor Williams, and his reply to make investigation of tragedy.

Langston, Oklahoma, Aug. 20, 1918 Ludwigson, Smithsonia Dear friend Smitherman: I have read with interest your message to Gov. R. L. Williams and his reply. The state is to be congratulated upon having such a champion among us. I thank you personally, for your efforts in the race's behalf. Very cordially yours, J. M. Marquess, President. Don't let the Negro boy loaf. If he holds down a street corner while he is young he'll do the same thing after he has grown up. for any one who cares to accept it. R. J. HILL. GOV.

Tirthly warrants have been issued for the arrest of that many participants in the mob and more will follow. Governor Williams is a broad guaged true American citizen who believes in the principals of democracy said Smitherman today, and we feel confident that absolute justice will be done in the Dewey matter.

Wilson, state superintendent of Education giving his endorsement to the proposed Fair at Boley: Oklahoma City, August 20, 1918 Dear Sir: I am reliably informed that there is a movement on among some of the leading Colored people to have a Negro State Fair at Boley, Oklahoma, beginning on September 25th of the present year. This is to give such a movement my endorsement. Trust that the Negro schools and institutions will rally to this cause as they should and give it their support with their educational, as well as agricultural displays. Yours truly, (Signed) R. H. Wilson. State Superintendent of Education WAR WORK OF COLORED WOMEN Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson Named As Field Representative For Women's Committee Of The National Council Of Defence. Washington, D. C., Aug. 22—Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson has recently been appointed field representative of the Woman's Committee, Council of Defence. This week she is leaving Washington for the states to make a preliminary survey of the war work which is being done among the Colored women by the various State Divisions of the Women's Committee and to assist them in perfecting any organization them may have in hand. In a number of the states these auxiliaries are already in existence. Mr. Nelson comes to this work from Wilmington, Delaware, where she is teh head of the English department of the Howard High School, which has given her leave of absence for a year in order to do war work among the Colored Women of the country. She is well-known as a club women, having served for several years as secretary the Nation Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and is intimately in touch with the women of the country who are interested in or actively identified with philanthropic movements or public service organizations. Mrs. Nelson is the widow of the late Paul Laurance Dunbar, the poet whose productions are familiar to every household in the land, and who first sprang into fame through hi ve under the caption of "Lyrics Pushing The Negro Fair M. B. HON J. COODY JOHNSON The above named gentleman is, perhaps, one of the best known men in Oklahoma, and it must be said to his credit that whatever more he gets behind succeeds. rM. Johnson has in all of his dealings, been square, and the people have implicit confidence in what he says. As president of the Negro Fair, to be held at Boley, Okla., Sept. 25 to 28, 1918, he promises one of the greatest entertainments ever pulld off by the rac in th state, and those who fail to attend, will miss one of the rare A NEW PRESIDENT FOR KANSAS SCHOOL According to a statement published in the Tuskegee Institute Student, Mr.G.R.Bridgeforth, for thirteen years director of the agricultural department of the Tuskegee institute, has been elected president of the Educational and Industrial Institute at Topeka Kansas. THE ARMY IS STILL IN NEED OF CHAPLAINS. The ultimate plan is to have one for every 1,2000 officers and men. It wants a special kind of chaplain a sturdy, upstanding, brotherly man between the ages of 21 and 45—who cares a good deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions in creed. At Camp Zachary Taylor, near Louisville, Kentucky, the Army is conducting a school for weeks and new classes are formed at about an interval of a week after the current class is graduated. Applicants must pass the physical tests prescribed by the local draft board. While at the chool the student chaplain receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and the pay of a firstclass private, $33.00 per month, with mileage home eat the rate of three and one-half cents per mile upon th completion of his course. If appointed he takes the rank and pay of a first lieutenant of the National of Lowly Life." Mrs. Nelson is an Author of note, having written a volume of very creditable poems and some short tories of Louisiana Life, and compiled a collection of best orations by Negro leaders. She is also a newspaper and magazine writer of recognized ability and far-reaching influence. treats that come in a life time. President Johnson is not sparing money or time in securing the very best attractions, and The Star feels safe in saying that the fair will go down in history as one of the greatest attractions ever attempted by our people. Mr. Johnson has the co-operation of the people of Boley, as well as the state, and there is no doubt that immense crowds will be in attendance. Army, $2,000 a year and $2,200 abroad. The next class begins August 23. Applicants should apply directly to The Adjutant General of the Army, who will furnish all necessary information. There are now about thirty-one Colored chaplains in the several branches of the army. THE COLORED MAN IN WAR WORK. A Review of What The Negro People Are Doing to Aid in Winning The World Wide War For Liberty And Democracy Issued From TheOffice of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to The Secretary of War. Washington, D. C. —Company A, 301si Stevedore Regiment, "Somewhere in France," has been cited by Rear Admiral Wilson and General McClure for exceptionally efficient work. These Colored men unloaded and coaled the steamship "Leviathan," formally the "Vaterland", in fifty-six hours, making a new worlds record, in competition with other stevedore detachments on the western front in France, many of which are white. A film, showing *this splendid regiment at work and at play, is to be exhibited throughout the country in the leading Colored and white theaters.

ELSEWHERE in this issue we are giving the sanitary low of Tulsa; let every one of us join in the move of a cleaner city, and lend Mr. McCain all the assistance possible. A dispatch from Denver, Colo., last week, contained the following bit of PoWS: Obnoxious signs reading, "For Colored People Only," have been torn down from over the tennis courts in the city park. Two tennis courts were set aside for the exclusive use of our people, but Attotrney E. P. Blackmore, acting for the N. A. A. C. P., called the attention of the city authorities to the violation of the state law by displaying such discriminations and they were ordered removed. The privilege of using any court in the park is granted. A. Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch says: In the class of 1,000 cadets that completed teb course of training in the reserve officers' training corps at Harvard university on Aug. 12 there was one lone member of our race in the person of Richard B. Sansbury. His diligent application to and the high degree of excellence of his work throughout the course were noticed and commented upon by all the officers of the corps. Mr. Sansbury was one of twelve of the class who was recommended for a commission. He is a resident of Indianapolis and a graduate of Oberlin college, where he won honors. With all claims paid the Odd Fellows of Oklahoma have in their endowment department more than $15,000, and in the burial department there are more than $4000. There are 1,900 male members and 1,700 female members in the state. There were 56 deaths during the past year, with the exception of the office of grand medical examiner, the entire outer of officers are re-elected. Dr. r. L. Cook of Hartshorne, succeeded Dr. Butter of Muskogee. The organization accepted the 50 acres of land donated by the citizens of Rentjesville, and will erect buildings, etc., in the near future, thereby provided a home for the old decrepid members. The next grand lodge will convene in Oklahoma City. IT IS REPORTED that there are 30 or 10 cases of typhoid fever in the surrounding additions where mostly Colored people live and that very few of these cases have been reported to the board of health. OF THE 140 young men who registered last Saturday 20 of them were Colored. O LABOR DAY comes on the first Monday in September and organized labor promises to make it the biggest day ever. There are many Colored union men in Tulsa and they will all take part in the labor day exercise. IT IS CLAIMED that at least 50 per cent of the Colored boys that enter training camps are diseased from immoral living, and even a greater per cent of the whites are likewise suffering. This is an alarming state of condition and is ample justification of the vice campaign now uder way I Tulsa ad other large cities.

THE MAN WHO HELD THE MOB AT BAY IN BRISTOW POLICE C, F, E, E, M, FEARS The above is a true likeness of E. M. Fears, chief of police of Bristow Oklahoma, who suddenly stepped into the limcindy a week ago last Saturday by holding at bay a mob of several hundred men bent on taking the law in their murderous hands and lynching a Colored prisoner. The chief gave the would-be-murderers to understand that he would uphold the law at any cost and that he would shoot to kill any man or men who dared to molest him. This had the desired effect and the prisoner was safely landed in the county jail at Napulpa. The country is sadly in need of more officers like chief E. M. Fears. The Tulsa 'Sar is sin favor of fifth of every description being cleaned up; filthy men and filthy women, filthy streets, filthy homes —in act everything which is filthy. When so-called decent people are always hobnobbing with rounders, booze fighters and crooks, it is a clear case of "association begets assimilation," and you become one of them. The Kansas City Sun touching on a "so-called race riot" that was at terrupted to be pulled off in that city says: That so-called race riot at Fifteenth and indiang this week was merely an attempt upon the part of poor white roughnecks to run colored people away from a public work, the colored people refusing to run, just as they are refusing to run from the Kaiser over in rFance. THE drive on prostitution will no doubt clean up many of the eye-sore places here in Tuisa. Let the good work go on until we are able to boast of a truly clean town. THE Colored man must make some effort himself to put a stop to lynching. Editor A. J. Smitherman should have the undivided support of every Colored person in his effort to put the ban on lynching, mob rule, etc. LET the Colored man join every move which means the advancement of civilization; there is work for everyone of us to perform. Don't be satisfied with the other fellow doing it all, but take hold and help make the world better. LET our people lend all the assistance possible in making the community singing, which will be held on Greenwood street, Monday evening at 8:30 p.m. Every Colored person in town should be present. Join the clean-up move and help Mr. McClain with his work. There is more church building here than in any other town in the United States. The collections at the several Colored churches last Sunday easily reached $800, and that is almost a regular Sundy occurrence. --- HE TULSA BLA Bishop Phillips of the C. M. E. Church and Miss Ella Cheeks of Cleveland, Ohio, were recently married. When Mrs. Adella Bonds of Philadelphia shot from her window into a mob of white brutes who were stoning her home she not only exhibited bravery in defence of her horror and home, she was fighting for democracy. The Christian Endex. In the fight between American Soldiers and Mexicans on the border this, week, the 10th. Calvary came in for a conspicuous part, even one Negro Corporal sacrificed his life. The above black boys drove the Mexicans across the Rio Grande River and more than 100 Mexicans were killed. About the best remedy for a mob is, hot lead, pumped into it at a lightning like speed. Let the colored man try this method of doing away with the murderers when they come to mob him. Running and begging will not help one iota. People from many parts of the world are daily writing for sample copies of The Tulsa Star; judging by this, the old lady is making the acquaintance of folks in all corners of this country. In localities where our people are maltreated, let them shake the dust from their heels and seek homes among people who are willing for the Colored man to live on this earth which the Lord God gave us. There are Scores of Colored people left in Tulsa, and still they come; there are rare opportunities here for the right kind of Colored business man who have some capital; for an instance, a Negro Bank is a crying need here in our progressive city. The success of the Allied Armies for the past few weeks have been hailed with much joy, and the Star rejoices twice, from the fact, the Negro Soldier is helping to achieve that success, yes, we are in it. Gov. William's interest in the Dewey affair has endeared him to the Colored people of this state. Already 30 warrants have been issued and there are more to follow, Amen. Within a few days the school doors will be thrown open and every Negro child of scholastic age should enter them. A parent who fails to send his child to school is a real enemy to the Negro race. It's the proper time for our people to make preparations for the winter we are compelled to have a severe winter, and much suffering unless "We make hay while the sun is shining". Take this bit of advice and make ready for Mr. "Crimp". Our brave Colored Calvary met went after the Mexican, with a veagearce on the border, this week, just like they have always done when some one pesters with Uncle Sam's interest. EVERY citizen of Tulsa should strive to help build up every deserving enterprise we have. Don't fight them because we happen to not like the one at the head of said enterprise.

OZONIZED OX MARROW CO. 46 W.KINZIE ST. CHICAGO, ILL THE KAISER COMMENTS ON THE NEGRO. Mr. Arthur M. Davis, who was dentist to the kaiser for a number of years, is writing a series of articles for various publications in Europe, in which he comments upon what the kaiser thinks about different problems. Davis says that the kaiser is much interested in the Negro problem, and expressed the opinion that thi problem will always be present in the United States because whites and blacks do not mix socially. After the war started, the kaiser said: "Now is your chance to solve the Negro problem; send him across and let us shoot them down." Of course we do not know if the kaiser ever said such a thing or not, but if he did, he is now having his opportunity to settle the Negro question once and for all. Either he will settle the Negro or the Negro will settle him—Los Angeles Advocate. "AGE" CONFISCATED. Report reached this city Wednesday that the New York "Age," best known of that city's weekly Colored papers, was confiscated shortly after coming from the press Thursday. The paper had already been sent out to the newstands and some of them had gotten into the mails when, it is said, orders from the Department of Justice were sent out confiscating the entire issue. An article commenting on the Jim Crow arrangements at a baseball game at Camp Dix, is reported to be the cause for teb action of the Department of Justice.-The Baltimore Afro-American. The Los Angeles Advocate says: In the Indianapolis "Freeman" of last week a very intelligently written editorial appears, dealing with the question of the capitalization of the word "Negro." A great many of the best current publications are now using the capitand "N" in spelling the race Negro represents an element in why they should not all do so. The word Negro rerpes an element in the body politic—a race—the same as Indian, Italian, French, etc., referring to a race, and if the one should be capitalized, the other should be capitalized. Let us hope that if by using the lower case "n" in writing the word Negro, the daily papers intend to reflect upon this class, with the coming of our new democracy this approbrium will pass away, and that if the term "Negro" is to be used at all, the capita letter will be employed. The Colored race keep up too decoration; scarcely a move can be started without sine brother rising up to "pose" it. For God's sake, let us get together on some move. Civic pride should make every one of us clean up and improve our homes, etc. Spare a few minutes and give things an overhauling. Enven among us here in Tulsa hurts our progress; if you are not in a shape to bring things about help the fellow who is. Let us encourage all good moves started by members of the race.

OUR GIRLS' OPPORTUNITY It has been said many times in the past with some show of truth that the opportunity for the educated Colored girl was anything but encouraging, outside of the school room in the Southland, but it is not so now, for the war has brought about conditions that have opened the doors of stores, offices, banks and many other positions of trust and honor for the educated Colored girl or woman. So today we find that the demands for that class of one women are greater than the supply. oS great is the demand that any girl, regardless of the color of her skin, if competent, can land many positions that beforeohey thought impossible.

L. Phillips received a letter from Chester hPillips, a nephew, who is at aCmp Pike, Ark., and below, we are giving same in full: Co. B. 14th Repl. Bn. Camp Pike, Ark., Aug. 25, 1918 Dear Uncle: This leaves me enjoying the very best of health. Hope you and auntie are enjoying life happily. I have found that the instruction you gave me just before I left is the only method by which a person can get by in this army, that is obedience. I had a very tough time when I first came to this place but by being obedience to orders I have succeeded in getting a very good position. I am now company clerk, a very recognizable position but there is notiling easy about it at all. Uncle Sam hasn't anything easy for a man to do. When the ordinary man sees another in a clerical position he thinks that he is having an easy time as he is sitting down all the time but there is so much responsibility upon a man who is doing clerical work until it is a burden instead of a pleasure. I do wish it were possible for me to visit you so that I could tell you about this army life. It is the very thing for the boy who has not tried to do very much in life. He has an opportunity to learn so many things that he would not have learned if he had not been employed by Uncle Sam. There are four things that Uncle Sam enforces very strictly, they are: Punctuality, neatness, cleanliness and obedience. If the boys who are here don't learn any more than this they will learn nought to last them a life time. For my part I appreciate what my Uncle Sammie is doing for me but I would rather be at home. (Smile.) Of course we can't tell when we are going to be shipped but I don't think it will be long before we will be on our way across. I have not been home since I have been here but I am going to try to get a pass Saturday and it will not allow me to stay but 36 hours. I shall be glad to hear from you at any time. I am TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF SEMINGLE AND HUGHES COUNTIES. GREETINGS The Co-operative Negro Farmers and Industrials' State Fair Association will hold its annual Fair at Boley Oklahoma beginning on the 25th day 1 September and ending on the Night of the 28th. It is particularly desirable that the Colored Citizens of the State of Oklahoma take interest in this Fair. Never has there been a time in the history of the Negro Citizens of this country when so much was demanded of him as at the present time. The Government is calling upon each and every loyal Citizen to do their utmost in the way of production in order to care for our Armies and our Gallant Allies now waging war against the most desperate Despotism that has ever cursed God Almighty's Foot Stock. Nobly have our people responded to the call of the Country in furnishing their proba of the best brawn and muscle of our people at the fighting front. Even our women are not a whit behind the men in their loyal devotion to the call of their Country, they are making superhuman sacrifices in order to aid our Government, and thereby every American Negro is doing his bit in this great struggle. These of you who are engaged in Agricultural persuits should see to it that the very utmost is produced from your farms. In order to do this, the comparison of the things you raise with others of your race will give you inspiration for greater achievement. It is for this purpose that the State Fair of Oklahoma has been chartered and organized, composed entirely of Negro business men of this state. We have the encouragement of the Honorable Governor of the State of Oklahoma and every leading officer of this state encourages us to continue the struggle to make this Fair an unbounded success. Therefore we want you to bring the products of your farms, your live stock and your best poultry for exhibits to this Negro Fair which is to be held in the largest Negro city in the United States. The judges of your exhibits will be men of your own race and it will be worth a lifetime to you to behold this great pageant of Negro Thrift and Industry You will find people from every part of Oklahoma, and the adjoining states of Kansas Missouri and Texas, vicing with each other in their effort to out-do each other in exhibiting their wears. A splendid carnival show has been arranged for to give highly entertainments to while away the evenings. The famous band and orchestra of Langston University will furnish music throughout the entire session of the Fair. There will be all kinds of amusements. Horse paces, by some of the finest horses sin the state owned by Negroes. Full blooded cattle and hogs and in fact live stock of all kinds will be here exhibited. The Honorable Superintendent of Schools urges every Negro school in the state to send exhibits of their educational work. One entire building, 25x50 will be given up for educational exhibits. There will be displayed there the needle work and all kinds of artistic work done by our Negro women. There is one thing at this fair that you will be JOHN H. HARRIS Co. B. 14th RepL. Bn. Your nephew, CHESTER PHILLIPS --- hibits will have no other competition assured of and that is that your other than that of Negroes. Therefore we urge you to lay aside your cares and come to Boley and help make this the greatest event of the season. Prominent speakers will be there from all parts of the state, and elsewhere where this is known. The Hon. Robt. L.
