JEFFRIES SLAYER SENTENCED.
Given the Minimum Penalty, Years
in Saltwater Prison.
Jury Finds John Jones Guilty Of Man.
etaunhfar

After being out for an hour and a
half, the jury in the case of jain
Jones, a negro, on trial for the killing
Of Roy Jeffries, also a negro, IS Hol-
den street, on the night of Sept. IS
in a pool room at 725 Washington
avenue south, returned a verdict of
guilty of manslaughter in the first
degree.
Taking into consideration the des-
perate character of the defendant, the
weapon used, the fact that nearly all
the witnesses testified that he had his
weapon ready for use and threatened
to use it, before the affray; the fact
of his subsequent flight, and resist
ance to the officers, and their testi-
mony against him, Jones has the right
to be thankful for the able and earnest
efforts put forth by his counsel to save
his neck, as he was indicted for MUIR
der in the first degree, and the Court
charged for murder in the first and
second degrees, and for manslaughter
in both degrees, and acquittal.
Attorneys Geo. H. Jackson and
VIM. H. H. Franklin appeared for
the prisoner. He was sentenced by
Judge Holt on Saturday morning, and
was Immediately taken to Saltwater
by Deputy Sheriff John H. Allison.

Bishop George W. Clinton, d. d.,
presided over the conference. The
personality Of this noted prelate and
race leader and the true development
Of every facility for proper advance
ment have made Bishop Clinton Il
potent factor in the progress Of the
race along many lines.
This Is the leading conference OF
Zion's denomination. Within its bor-
ders are found Livingstone college, its
leading institution, from which every
year 1t gives Its quota Of thoroughly
prepared young men and women The
publishing house Of the denomination
in Charlotte, n. G., was erected this
year at cost OF $4,000.
A pertinent feature Of the confer
ence was Bishop Clnton's annual ad,
dress. In which he eloquently enrap-
tured his audience by uncOmpromislng-
ly asserting himself for the good OF
the race. Bishop Clinton spoke in
part as follows:
"While we should he concerned
about the nations welfare and should
contribute as much as possible to its
general betterment as well as to the
good of the local community, there are
some matters Of special interest to US
as people.
"The inalienable rights Of life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness, the
constitutional privilege of exercising
the franchise, the opportunity to labor
so that we may secure sufficient
means to provide decent living for
ourselves and our families the privi-
lege of enjoying the benefit of free
school system that furnishes adequate
primary training for the youth of our
race and the impartial rights promised
by just laws fairly administered are
matters about which every Negro
should deeply concern himself.
"Furthcrmore," he said, "Our govern
ment has put a premium upon and in
measure inspired race prejudice and
It's concomitant evil consequences by
making color rather than character
and fitness the condition upon which
men shall hold Offices Of trust and re-
sponsibility I'm certain sections"
Bishop Clinton enunciated with espe
| cial vigor that neither lily whiteism.
the denial Of office holding to colored
men In the south nor the giving of n
few offices to prominent Democrats at
the expense Of old line Republicans
can he depended upon to break the
solid south and get support for a dis
credited administration and divided
party.
''The colOrcd man has at last learned
that he, like other thoughtful citizens,
must use his vote to the welfare OF the
community and state In which he
lives rather than to blindly follow a
party that used to his own hurt and
against his best personal interest its
power"
For harmony and ability to do busi-
ness and good reports for every de-
partment Of the church the conference
was splendid erample Of religious
progress.
