IT Is RUMORED

That Attorney Thomas L. Jones
has decided TO remain in the United
States.
That a foreign mission would not
justify his giving up his large law
practice.
That the man who preferred
charges against Judges Terrell is
name Dennis.

wears of inquisition and sailed away
to the West Indies, immovably per
suaded that there was no AFRICAN
music" and that he had heard moth
ing but adaptations more or less saw
age.
The explanation is simple enough.
Two centuries ago, and from that
time on. the slaves in Santo Do
mingo, Haiti, Louisiana and so on,
always enamored of music, and filled
with their primeval passions, would
hear the French and Spanish in
mates of the big house" making their
own melodies, some sweet and some
fantastic, through the open windows.
The African heart is the slave of
music, more than the African him
self has ever been the slave of any
purchaser or inheritor. The serv-
ants heard this music, translated it
according to their various moods of
despair or gayety, filtered it through
their understandings, and the result
today is visible in the so-called Con
go songs" whether of kindness or
complaint or vengeance. The words
amount to nothing. They are sup
piled out of the circumstances in
each case. "Said the blackbird to
the crow" ''Hummagy aragy," "Old
Joe kickin' up behind and befo," all
these indicate nothing of real i'm
portance. 1t is the melody that al
ways counts, and in not single au-
thenticated instance has this melody
emanated from any African source.

DID YOU EVER THINK

That a salaried man ever had a
penny after pay day.
That a fool would ever be appoint
ed a municipal judge.
That a colored American would be
sent to the Court of St. James.

The High Price of Food Products

This is question that most of
MS are interested in, and the people
of small incomes are the ones who
feel the advance OF food products
most keenly. The person who earns
from S300.O to $500. 90 year, spends
for food about 60 per cent of his in
come. The person who cams from
$500 to $500 usually spends about
80 per cent of his income.
In these days OF high prices the
man earning good salary, can
spend more for his food than the la
boring man and in some instances
buy in larger quantities, and save
something in the price. Not so with
the laboring man he must buy in
small quantities, and often deny
himself of the necessities to be able
TO make both ends meet.
Take for instance the package
goods which now costs the same as
three years ago, apparently looks to
be the same in size, but much light
er in weight. The price in labor in
many instances has not kept pace
with the price of food and other
things necessary to the welfare of
the man of small means.
We think we can be of some help
to the people who will need such
things as we carry to this extent
We will purchase in large quantities
and in many instances jobbers guam
titles, and in that way obtain the
very lowest possible cash price. pay
ing spot cash for everything we buy.
This will enable us to sell you fol
less than you have been paying, be-
sides adding small profit for ouI
labor.
We will credit no one who is moi
financially responsible, and who
will not pay his account on pressnta.
tion, or without some reasonable ex-
cuse, for this reason, our margin ol
profit will be so small, that the in.
terest on a long time account would
consume what profit we may have
made.
A word to those who have beer
buying on credit with no othe
means for payment than their dali,
labor. They are the ones above al
others who ought not to abuse thei
credit, the only thing to fall back on
in time OF need. We have had IL
