a thorough examination OF the baggage

During the examination of the baggage
it was learned that both men were rep

not know that they had been under sus-

A NOTABLE ADDRESS.

ence Of Methodism held in Toronto,
Canada, October Alt, 1911, DR.. c. V.
Roman. a practicing physician of this
city and lay delegate from the A. M.
E. Church to its next General Confer

tire session" .n,

bear testimony to what the laity In
the church look for. The old ques-
ton of converting the world Is the
same question to-day--to get those
outside the church to believe and
come into get those inside the
church to live the truth and continue
in the faith. Illustration is often
palmer than argument.

Need Of Organization.

Thursday of this week, The Demo
crat, loyal daily paper, contains two
accounts of Negroes being in the tolls
of the law for similar offenses. One
man was sent out to collect some
bills and it is alleged got drunk and
blew in. what money he collected; in
the other case, according to the re-
port of the daily paper, a man was
employed to do some house cleaning
and let some jewelry tempt him. Both
miscreants are now safely stored
away and will of course receive at
tention at the proper time.
The thought that suggests itself az
ter the reading of these two cases is,
there should be remedy for such
evils. True, these two men were in
dividually responsible for their acts,
but it cannot be disputed that the
community is affected by their acts.
Again, there is no way getting around
the American custom, though unfair,
but nevertheless true, that every
mean act of an individual Negro is
charged to the races account But
above all these causes stands the
debt we owe humanity. The strong
Jew labors to strengthen the weak
Jew, and so does the Italian, the
Greek, the Irishman, the German, and
so on; and the Negro that is strong
in character and intellect must labor
for the uplift of the Negro that is
weak.
The best way to do this work eff
fectively is through organizations
The Negroes who are house cleaners
should have an organization, to which
the people could apply when they
want such work done. Then the or
ganization could be responsible TO
the acts of it's agents, and the people
would feel secure against thefts
Such an organization would make EN-
ployment for an army of men an,
women and at better wages than the
are paid now for such labor. If it
true that the man sent to collect som
money for a wholesale grocery CON
pany got drunk and spent it why tina

number of years in his business as a

up all business worries she was never

The Bryant idea is without doubt
gaining in popular favor with the
African Methodists. At first the peo-
pie of his church did not take to the
suggestion, and the fact that senti-
ment is changing in Mr. Bryants
favor argues both for the intelligence
of the African Methodist constituency
and the feasableness of the Bryant

WHIPPED TO DEATH
ON CONVICT FARM
Arkansas Supreme Court Decides
That So, $50 Is Enough Dam
ages for Victims Family

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. IT,
Great indignation is being expressed
throughout the state over the fact
that the supreme court has decided
that the widow Of a convict named
Reynolds, who was whipped to death
on the convict farm at Tillar, was en-
titled to damages of only $3.50.
The fact in the case are as follows:
Reynolds was convicted of a mis-
demeanor, and sent to the convict
farm Of Tilfar, where he was placed
under the custody Of the warden.
On a certain morning. because of
some misconduct, the warden COM
PEELED Reynolds to remove his cloth
ing and lie down across q log, face
downward. where he was held by
other men. With a leather strap
about thirty inches long, four inches
thick, fastened to staff, the warden
then cruelty beat him across the small
part of his back, using both hands to
WELD the blows. After this barbarous
cruelty the prisoner was sent out In
to the hot sun of a day in July, and
compelled to work until he reeled and
staggered like a. drunken man, when
he was sent from the field grooming
with pain.
He was given no medical attend
ance, and died early that evening.
Deceased was 81 years old, left a
young widow with three children,
aged 3, 6, and z, who bring this ac-
ton against the owner of the con-
vict farm.
The supreme court of Arkansas
holds that defendant is liable for tie
conduct of the warden, his agent, be-
cause the whipping was within the
scope of his authority, though in ex-
cess of the prison rules. A verdict
Of 1880 was affirmed.
