1t will also have theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from 10 to so cents, by
only per cent of the total colored population
of the city of Washington, will enable the Com
pany to pay IS per cent on its total captaliza-
ton. Equal in all to e-Io per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase of SO
per cent.
Now, all this is Conservatively Estimated.
Banks and Insurance Companies engage in
enterprises like this with their depositors' and
policyholders' money-YOUR money, but
YOU get only about or 81 per cent. The
banks or insurance companies keep the balance.

1T KNOWS ALL THIS AND IT IN
VITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in an en-
terprise ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF RISK,
where every dollar will be invested in the best
of Washington Real Estate, that increases in
value annually at the rate of SIS per cent
nearly DOUBLE bank interest.
Even that is good enough for most people,
but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY will do better than that. 1t will
have Offices and stores and lodge rooms, which
will earn, on a conservative estimate, at least
$23,2oo per year. Equal to S 9-Io per cent per

IT IS THE NEW EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar of white capital will be ac-
cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock
consequently there is no watered stock.
Every holder of stock from the President
down must pay at LEAST $1,000 per share for
every share of stock allotted to him.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will REMAIN at $1,000 per share. 1t is $1,000
NOW. 1t will advance in price far beyond
$1,000, just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln
Memorial Building Companys stock go to
several times its present value.
This means that a share of stock costing
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 wheR stock
goes to four times par. Estimates show that
the Company earnings will be 20 per cent, and
that is four times par, with every dollar in
vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city
of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share 1t is $1,000
NOW If the Company, as i is estimated,
pays 20 per cent $1,000 she-e of stock will be
worth $4,000. If it pays 20 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $1,000. Just
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
in value so will the Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Companys stock increase in price.
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 a share
is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allot-
ment will be $I2.5o per share, to which point
it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in as completely on the ground
floor as any one of the Company's Directors
are
The Company's Directors, by the way, are
men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as
you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain
through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY.
Their names are at the top of this page.
They have unbounded faith in the future of the
Company. They have invested THEIR hard
earned money in it, and they advise you to in
vest YOUR money side by side with theirs.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.
The price of stock is $1,000 per share, pay
able SI.Oo down and SI.oo per month for nine
months uDon each share subscribed for.
DO 1T NOW.
Before you lay this paper down cut out the
coupon the lefthand corner of this page and
mail to-day, with remittance for first payment
if for but one share of stock.
We shall be glad at all times to give you any
further information desired, and again invite
you to join us in this enterprise.
Very truly yours,

WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT

The eyes of the world are on Washington.
One-third of Washington's population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
lied in one place they would make a city larger
than Richmond, Virginia.
There are seven theatres in Washington,
supported by a white population of 24I,o23-
and few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
ICED in the galleries, the only place to which the
Negro is admitted.
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST
CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of
Washington, where a colored professional or
business man or woman, and there are hun
dreds of them in the National Capital, can OBJ
tain business quarters.
lust THINK OF IT! 100000 enterprising,
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preju-
dice, swept completely out of the business dis
triCt of Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
Gus, amusement loving people deprived of
every form of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most humiliating con-
ditions
Every colored man and woman IN Wash
ington.
Every colored man and woman VISITING
Washington
Every Colored man and woman in America,
familiar with the true state of the Negro in
Washington, realizes that theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes, for the
Negroes, is A NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it.
Any enterprise resting its hope of success
upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a sue
CESS.
A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECES-
SITY.
Approaching to the utmost that fact
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central
Business District of the city of Washington a
magnificent theatre, seating capacity $500, and
a store and Office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
quirements of prosperous professional and busi-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
First-It is absolutely safe.
Second-It promises enormous possibilities
as a money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with a few dollars to invest and you
are such woman or you would not
have read this far.
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILD
ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care
fully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants
available for the Offices. that dozens of
merchants ready to "a the stores, and
that 100000 people are anxious to patronize
the theatre exclusively, and make it the best

LEVY Court Helps in
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

A lively good roads hustle was made
in the Kent Levy Court late Tuesday
afternoon when the new Milford Good
Roads Association, formed by nearly
100 citizens OF this town to get imme-
diately at the good roads problem, ap-
peared in the Levy Court room by q
cOmmitte-Dr. G. Layton Grier, }. B.
Smith, J. Harry Latchum and DR.. w.
F. Hoey.
DR.. Grier gave q summary Of the
work the association had accomplished
in having the roads and natural soils
examined by United States engineers
and experts from the Department OF
Agriculture.
"As result, gentlemen" said DR..
Grier, 1--WE have come here to ask that
you let US take the eight-mile stretch OF
road between Milford and Frederick,
one OF the most important roads in Del
aware, make Of it a permanent pike.
If you will, the United States Govern
ment will send an engineer to reach
here July 10th and take full charge Of
the work.
"You will find on this road, as we
did, excellent soil right there for road
building and a gravel quarry not far
away. These materials, the Govern
ment engineer has informed us, will
make as good if not better roads than
a permanent stone road
DR.. w. F. Hoey asked that the coun-
ty approve this course and also give
some financial aid beside $3.50 which
Carmean Of Milford had
in his good roads fund and is ready to
expend outright.

THEODORE MIDDLETON
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

At about five O'Clock on Tuesday
morning, July 5th, 1910, one OF the very
best citizens Of upper Sussex County,
Theodore w. Middleton, was killed in
his own house by the accidental dis
charge Of a gun which he was taking
from a closet with the intention OF
shooting a rat in his yard. He had
been in the habit Of shooting rats about
his premises. as he was splendid shot
and kept the best OF firearms. He was
practically a retired farmer, although
he resided on his farm about one mile
from Milford, on the Shawnee road,
and only himselfand his wife composed
the family, as they never had any chill
dren. In looking at the scene Of the
accident, 1t is plain how it occurred.
The gun was in a closet in their room
where it was kept loaded for the purpose
OF shooting any thief that attempted to
steal chickens from their yards, just
under their windows. In taking the
gun out over q box, the hammers must
have caught against it, and in falling
the load Of shot was discharged upward
and directly under his chin, blowing
the entire face away. Mrs. Middleton
screamed for help and neighbor, just
across the road, went to them and soon
B. F. B WoOdall, another neighbOT,
and in fact the whole neighborhOod was
at the scene, but the victim died almost
instantly after the gun was discharged.
Mr.. Middleton was SO years old, and
one OF the most genial men Of this Sec
tion OF the country. Being possessed
OF ample means, a stakeholder Of the
Adams Express Company and other
well paying investments, he enjoyed
life to the fullest extent. He was a
OF the Milford Club, and close
reader OF both the daily, weekly and
publications. Fair, honest and
above reprosch may we'll be said of him.
His remains were taken to Haddon-
field, New Jersey, Thursday morning,
for burial.
The Coroner Of Sussex County was
notified and he came to Milford that
when jury was impanelled
% hear the facts, which were substan
tally as stated above, and that body
a verdict as follows: THAT
Theodose Middleton came to his death
rom a gunshOt wound inflicted by his
,wn hands, accidentally.
