The News attempts to convey the
idea to the public that the meeting of
Afro, american citizens at the court
last Thursday was for the purpose of
shielding men of that race who had
committed crimes Such was not the
case and there was not word said
tending to lead sane man to that con-
clusion. II the editor of the News
should have the courage to hit any
man and wound him seriously, those
men desire that he should be arrested,
tried convicted, and punished, if the
evidence warranted it. regardless OF
his nationality, and we suppose the ed
itor Of the News is white man, at
least it is SO reported

The Record of this city had the cour-
age to comment on the meeting Of
Afro-Americans held last Thursday.
The men and women were at that
gathering are open to fair criticism
from legitimate sources, and have not
the least fear OF ii. Tic Tic Record has
an opinion and is not afraid to express
it, We reproduce the article else
where. We want TO say parenthetic-
ally that we believe it to be the duty of
the Afro-American to do like the rest
of the people in respect to supporting
newspapers that will treat them fairly.
Too much taffy is as bad as unfair criti-
cism.

a DIED.

DIED-In Savannah, Mo-, August 30,
1898, Mrs. Dicey Logan, aged 80 years.
Mrs. Logan had been in feeble health
for some time and her death was hourly
expected. Mrs. Logan was born in
the state Of Kentucky in November,
1905. She married slave by the name
OF Moses Logan, April l, 1929, in Wood
ford county, Kentucky. Moses Logan
was man OF great energy and worked
at odd jobs at various times until he
succeeded in saving money enough to
purchase his own freedom. He then
lent his entire energy to his wife and
children. He worked by day and
worked by night. He scrimped himself
cent to accomplish his great desire,
| wife and one son. They then united
nine children, but his strength gave
his children call to see him on certain
day. After partaking of hearty
| mother, the father said to them: 1T
has been my hearts desire to make
| money enough to purchase the freedom
Of llmy children, but | find ! cannot
| do it. ! am getting too old may
die soon, but ! have saved enough to
give each Of you sIUG. 4. He then gave
each $500 as starter Oh their own
account, but before they succeeded in
| purchasing themselves John Brown
and Abraham Lincoln gave them their
| freedom. In 1S40 Mr.. and Mrs. Logan,
| with their master, moved from
| Kentucky to Ray county, Missouri,
then to johnson county, and from there
/ to Savannah, in Andrew county, where
they remained. Moses Logan died
| May 21, 1878. He left competency
to his wife to maintain her well
| during her life. For many years every
person in Savannah knew Aunt Dizzy
| Logan, and all loved and respected her.
She was possessed Of singularly
sweet disposition. She was member
| Of the African Methodist Episcopal
church for over half a century No
more faithful member ever sang sweet
songs OF praise to Jehovah than Dizzy
Logan, though once sold upon the
market as chattel. During his life
| life as slave Mr.. Logan was highly
esteemed by all and his note was ac-
cepted at the bank even while he wore
the shackle OF slavery. He and his
faithful wife taught their children the
lessons OF honesty and integrity. And
by those lessons they have allsueceeded
in remarkAble degree.
| The surviving children are Mr..
Rogers Logan, of lHonitas, CAL, Mr..
Jefferson Logan, OF this city and Mrs.
Hester Grey, OF Savannah. Mo. Mr..
Jefferson Logan has lived in this city
since 1860, having ran away from
slavery that year. There are several
men here to-day who We're his COM
panions in that memorable strike for
liberty. Mr.. Rogers Logan went to
California in 1850. He is miner by
occupation. He has prospered in his
| adopted business. Mrs. Hester Gray
has remained among the scenes OF her
childhood near the city in which her
parents settled in 1910, and the old
homestead which has been the parental
domicile for over twenty-five years con-
tinuonsly. In this home passed away
the kind and considerate father after
having lived there but one year.
In this family the home tie has been
broken after more than two genera
tions have passed away and it is more
than usually sad. The sympathy of
many friends is extended.

In the state OF Virginia the state
stenographer association met and
passed resolutions condemning one of
the leading law firms for employing a
Negro stenographer and typewriter.
The Negro was employed in the office
when mere boy. He swept the office,
cleaned the cuspidores and was sent on
errands. Everything he did for his
employers he did well. That is the
secret OF his success and promotion.
Anything that is worth doing is worth
doing well. The firm is satisfied with
him and have no idea of discharging
him,

Two Negro boys were discharged
from their places short time ago on
account of the company they kept.
There is no employer who will object
to any one coming in occasionally, but
when boys congregate in front of the
door and laugh loud enough to be heard
in the next county it becomes mono
tonous as daily diet. Loafers, old
and young, are obnoxious.
