The Washington bee. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1884-1922, 1891-04-04
is THIS ANOTHER FRAUD?
IT IS AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL SAYS
ANDREW JACKSON CLEM0NS-LET
THE PUBLIC BEWARE.

Some several months ago An
drew Jackson ClemOns, so called
democratic Negro who is as ignO-
rant as an oyster, collected several
hundred dollars from persons in
this and other cities claiming that
he had built a Leland Stanford
Orphan Asylum. ClemOns had
an adr it way of collecting money.
He managed to collect from Sena-
tor Stanford one hundred cold dol
lars and on investigation the BEE
found that no such an institution
as the Leland Stanford or any 9TH
er kind existed in Spartanburg,
S. C.. Clemons was arrested and
as Senator Stanford refused to
appear against him the grand jury
failed to indict bim.
The Spartanburg Herald, Of
March 10th contains a cut and a
brief sketch of ali alleged industri-
al institution that claims to exist.
1t is not known as the Leland Stan
ford school now; ClemOns who rep
resented to Senator Stanford that
he had named a school for him is
of the opinion that he can succeed
in getting more money by calling
his institution by some other name.
The BEE warns the public before
any money is given to this social
ed industrial school, to make a
thorough investigation of this so
called institution
The Herald says - "SOOn af-
ter ClemOns reached this city he
was assisted by Gen. Wade Hamp
ton 10 enter Howard University,
where he remained until he gradu-
ated. In 1884, he wss appointed
Minister to Liberia by President
Cleveland and after taking the trip
to Africa he declined the appoint
ment. In 1877 he was given
position under l.. Q. G. Lemar and
he also held pO~itlOn for some
time in the Pension office at Wash
ingtOn.
After his return from Africa, Glenn
Ons began the practice of Law at
Washington, ETC."
The editor of the Herald has
been imposed upon. ClemOns is
known in this city as the most
cOnsumate liar on earth. He never
was appointed by Cleveland to any
office, but, he was messenger
under Lemar, who was Secretary
of the Interior under Cleveland,
and was discharged from the Inte-
rior Department on charges pre-
ferred against him by the BEE. He
never graduated ia from r. any . iRstitFr
,he Herald is a man of sense he
ought to have known the
Clemons opened his
mouth that he was heing. If
Clemons went to Liberia or Africa,
it must have been on the picture OF
some geography. Clemons doesn't
know any more about law than a
hog does about holiday and If he
ever comes to Washington collect.
ing for that alleged industrial
school he will be placed IN jail. The
Herald man should send to the
State Department and ask whether
such a man as ClemOns eyer was ap
pointed Minister to Liberia.
The BEE desires t. enllghten the
Herald man by informing him that
Rev. Garnet was sent to Liberia to
succeed j. H. Smith, Hopkins
succeeded Garnet, G. Il. j, Tay lOr,
another monumental liar and Ma
tional buffOon, succeeded Hopkins
and Ezeakel Smith succeeded Tay-
lor, Alexander Clark succeeded
Smith. The records Of Howard
University will show that he never
graduated from that institution
and so far as practieing law IN this
CITY, it must have been before
fence ratings. The clerks records
will show that ClemOns' name Is
