Assistant Attorney Genera
Copy

From the above IL can be seen
that the Board of Supervisors DID
HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT to
adopt the special road law OF any
other county and thus fix the width
of tires. but after considering the
matter the board decided that II
would not exercise its legal right
in the premises. since they believed
that an election would be better.
hence they refused TO entertain any
longer the adoption of the Caroline
broad tire regulation. and upon the
advice OF T. Stokeley Coleman. Com
monwealth Attorney. petitioned
the Circuit Court of said County.
requesting that an election be held
on November next, being regular
election day, in order for the voters
to decide for themselves whether or
not Spotsylvania shall have broad
or narrow tires.
The court after considering the
petition ordered said election as
requested.
Very respectfully.

The thirteenth session of the
Missouri conference was held at
Fayette camp ground IN Howard
county, Missouri, beginning Sep"
tember II, 1928. We do not
know what bishop attended this
conference, as no one is mem
toned in the minutes. The APP
pointments for Arkansas district
were Jesse Halle presiding elder,
White River circuit Parker
Snedecor, preacher in charge.
rrne Spring River circuit is not
mentioned in t h g conference
minutes this year and we sup
pose Snedecor filled the appoint
ments Of both White and Spring
River circuits. II seems that the
Rev. Snedecop came to Arkansas
Territory in 1926, but this year
is the first time his name appears
in the conference minutes. He
located in 1881.

River circuit was left without a
preacher, there being no avail
able preacher for this work, 1t
is found later, however, that the
Rev. Burwell Lee Of Tennessee
came to this country and was put

with that veteran John Harris in

UNCLE SAM AND LIBERIA

Evidently France views with alarm
the move being made by the United
States to put the Liberian republic on
a firm financial basis and for Uncle
Sam to take charge of her customs
while it is being done. That European
power thinks the United States is
seeking territory in the far East that
means sooner or later a wholesale ter
ritory grabbing in the black continent,
a perogative heretofore considered for
European powers exclusively. But the
United States has no intention of land
grabbing in Africa. She has already
more foreign territory than she can
gracefully take care of. But If she
succeeds in planting prosperous re-
public in Africa controlled by black
men of American birth or their
descendants, it might mean that the
corner stone of black republic would
be laid, which sooner or later, COM
bined with the natives, would control
the greater part of the African conti-
nent. Let Miss France with her frocks
and frills not become excited over
friendly act to struggling republic
because she will not have an opportun-
ity to- grab the republic of LIBERIA

FALSE APPEALS FOR RACE SYM.
PATHY

The cry of Race sympathy is be-
ing invoked nowadays by some men
who are not deserving of it.
If a colored officeholder holds an Of
fee for a number of years and never
opens his mouth nor lifts his pen in
defense of his race during all the ten
ure of his office-holding, certainly such
a one is not entitled to race sympathy.
The only time that race love can be
stirred in some Negro officeholders is
when they are about to lose their jobs.
Then they get busy and get up great
howl asking for race sympathy"
But the colored people are becoming
wiser as the years go by and these
cries are going unheeded as they de-
servedly should.
There are some colored men holding
office of whom we never hear word
until their own personal interests are
at stake. AS long as they are allowed
to draw their big salaries they are
content to live in their snug and sell
fish contentedness, but as son as their
jobs become endangered they want to
pose as race martyrs.
Race martyrs would never stoop to
such selfish practices. When such sell
fish men get in "hole" let them get
out as best they can. They should not
receive one whit Of race sympathy

serious enough without being
aroused by false and alarming re-
ports. The Mississippi Negroes,
considering their number, are
most aw-abiding and civil set of
Negroes in America. Over one
tenth of all in the United States
are in Mississippi, and not one
hundredth part of the crimes COM
mitted by Negroes are perpetrated
in Mississippi.
