The Southern Negro

According to Prof. Booker Washington, the head of
Tuskegee Institute, the southern negroes have
lated since the war, $30000O000 of property. In
twelve of the former slave states they 17 900 farms
and support $4,000 churches.
Two things very plainly manifest from this state
ment
First the colored and brother in the south, is do
ing very well in material way. In this particular to
man. he has already outstripped his neghbor-'he poor
white"
And second in the South lays straw in the way
of his accumulation of property On the contrary south
people praise the thrift Of those coored who get
in the world and point to them with less pride
great deal of sentiment is being wasted the south
negro.

those days turned his head. 1t has
turned the head of every man who
received it.
But that was in the long ago. Cor
bett was but boy when he made the
mighty John L. lower his colors. If
he was foolish and his head increased
in dimension, who can blame him.
For some of the foolishness of
those days, sour critics are prone to
find fault with him today. Because
he has given up the ring and turned
his attention to the stage, in an eff
fort to become an actor-not a 1920
80 performer, but an artist of merit
there are not wanting those who
belittle his efforts.

pretty city by the lake to see
For many months the two rough house fighters
have been wrangng with each other to who ought to
be given the decision in the meeting
Once at Pocatelo, Idaho, it looked if the matter
would be settled. The two put up fierce argument
but during the go Mullin broke his hand the Indian
and the latter in the after rounds claimed he got all the
best of the argument
Then the pair to Spokane to try to get on, but
lat that time there nothing open for them in the clubs
The two had in for each other stiff that they
agreed to slip out of town and fight out without saying
anything to the wise They arranged to go to Har
rngton and fight for side bet and the small attendance
that could be gotten there rather than wait for date
But at Harrington Gregg arrived ON the ground first
and when Barney went down there he claimed to have
signs of impending disaster through no fault of his
own and refused to go on
This mxup increased the bitter feeling between the
two and when they returned to Spokane there
considerable hard talk.
Finally it agreed among of the lovers of box
ling to pull off the match at Occur Aene and special
trains from here to carry the crowd out Of Spokane
Then came strenuous time getting the two men to-
gether so that articles could be signed for the 60
Both ready to mix things even on the streets
and required considerable handling order to get their
signatures to the articles without precptang the 60 be-
fore the audience ready.
Finally it arranged by keeping the Indian with
his manager in until the details agreed to and
then having them sign up
Barney Mullin was then escorted in lille to or three
men stood between the pair until the Irshman got his
John Hancock on the papers.
But even at that the fun near starting. $
The Indian was hard to control and as he

"Shut yer trap" said Barney.
"W'at yo DOM Mickey face, signin' 20 deaf
rant?" fired back Joe.
The exchanges grew fierce, but Barney showed out
of the and Greggs manager sat on him until the
men had been separated by a safe distance. ~
Now that both are down to business and are

are satisfied and willing to wait until next Thursday night

What Is a BOY Worth,

Can their worth be estimated in dol
lars and cents, in houses ana lands. IN
whole worlds like this? What will you
take in exchange for the boys? You are
saying, what a question: or course,
we wouldn't give such boys as are true
as steel, and pure as SNOW, brave and
manly for anything whatever
O yes yes, you would Now, think,
There Is something in this country that
the American people are taking Instead
Of the boy. They are saying, Not thu
boy. but the saloon; We must have the
saloon. and We will feed IT, we will
give to support it boys like that. We
must permit the gambling places; It
would not do TO say anything and we
will give the pure-br0wed boys to learn
dishonesty and vice-to get their souls
branded for eternity"
We plead for the boy, We need him
so-need him in the church. need him In
years to come for positions Of honor AMI
