October 20.

Boley, Okla, Sept. 21-Call has
been issued for a two days meeting
OF negroes az this place. beginning
October sc, when matters OF interest
to the race will be considered The
Call is a. follows:
We do not believe that ;he '".'.
pressive man of other races has with
in him a disposition to do anything
but what is fair and right to all
men. yet we have individually and
collectively a duty within ourselves
to demonstrate to him that we are
worthy of all sympathy ne is willing
10 accord to us. We can do this IN
many ways. In the first place, the
vicious element of ting race must be
treated in way that viii place their
burdens upon themselves without the
masses having to be held responsible
for the acts OF those whose habits
and actions tend to criminality. Law
lessress must be discouraged, in
every phase. The time has come when
the negro who would have a respect
able standing in his community must
he ready at all times to uphold the
times to uphold the law and to assis,
in every way possible to bring guilty
persons TO justice, regardless OF the
fat that they are our people by
blood We are sure that in this eifor'
our relations as citizens will be made
mere pleasant and the lives of our
best people safeguarded, and their
property insured against the depre-
dations of those who would be in
clned to destroy it it. In proportion
as we uphold the law, the law will
extend its arm to rs, for cur pro
lection.
I'VE need not say why it is nee.
essary for this meeting. Recent hap
penings in the southern part o. Ahis
STATE is enough. After thoroughly con
sidering the black mans condition
and relation in and to this state. We
have reached the conclusion. that his
future existence is in the hands Of
his leaders"

man as Jim Mathers had 70 do
what he did, but it is a, thousand
times retter that ended as it did,
rather than that Ballew killed him.
The people OF Carer county owe
something to Jimmy; he has done
his duty and he has done It we'll
Rev. Selvidge-'It could not have
been otherwise. Jimmy did the right
