TO MAKE NEGRO STATE OF TEXAS


The New York Evening Post takes
up seriously scheme that is being
aired in that city for the United States
government to condemn and appro-
pirate the state of Texas, drive all the
white inhabitants out of it's limits and
turn it over to the negroes, wha are all
to be moved onto it and are to organize
It into a negro state. OF course, the
white people who are to be displaced
and driven out are to be paid for their
property at some ascertained rate.
The Houston Post ridicules the idea,
and states that this Texas movement"
Is nothing more nor less IMAM d
scheme engineered by some negro
sharpers to swindle the members OF
their race out of money. There is
regular organization, and memberships
are sold upon a financial basis Ne
croes who invest certain amount OF
money are promised that they will
have a chance to secure homes, farms
or established business from the gov
eminent as soon as the purchase OF
Texas has been contaminated. The
membership fees go into a FUND 10
pay the alleged expenses of cam
paign before congress for the purchase
Of Texas.
This scheme is being largely taken
mn by those who are asked to buy
stock in it, but, of course, the money
goes into the pockets Of the sharpers
who put up the game, as the realiza-
ton of such a notion is an impossi-
bility. The Post says:
"The postal authorities ought to lose
no time in outlawing the Texas move
ment." and wherever the work is be-
ing actively conducted the penalties
for swindling should be vigorously in
voked.

Mr.. Henry I. MacMahon, follow-up
representative of "The Sins of the
Father" Company, was an agreeable
caller at this office Monday. An old
(yOung) newspaper man and familiar
with the stains of printers ink on
his fingers and the odor of benzine in
his clothes, Mr.. MacMahou is always
at home in a print-shop and can give
pointers on how to set up an adver-
tisement as we'll as write a thrilling
story on topics of the times or the
attraction he represents.
1t is not an uncommon thing for
circuses of the "World's Greatest
Shows" variety to send around the
second advertising car, but the
Southern Amusement Company
which puts out Thomas Dixon's
plays among others, is the only the
atrical booking or producing agency
so far as we know that has two ad-
vertising men on the road, one fol
lowing close upon the track OF the
other, promoting the interests OF the
same show. But then 1.-The Sins ol
the Father" is a big attraction and
it requires big undertaking to handle
It, And in the persons Of Mr.. K. d.
Riddick who was here last week and
Mr.. MacMahon who was here this
week they have the right men in the
right place as advance representa-
tives.
Mr.. MacMahon has been here be-
fore, as representative OF another o
Mr. Dixon's plays. and it was g
pleasure to renew the acquaintance
formed at that time.
