Helena, Arkansas Reporter says:
There is more talk of a Negro
daily newspaper to be started at
some stragetic point in the upper
South. Our advice would be to
run big sixteen page weekly sue
cessfully, change within year or
two to a semi-weekly and make a
success; later change to a tri-
weekly and make that go; then
swing into daily and it ought to
go.

FORAKER FOR TAFT

Cincinnati, June Former
United States Senator Joseph
Benson Foraker has issued
statement calling upon all Repub-
licans to lay aside their differences
and get together for the election
of President Taft.
He says that, all things equal,
the Grand Old Party can be re-
turned victorious by an enormous
majority in November if they will
bnt forget their differences of
opinion any all get down to work
for the election of Taft.
Senator Foraker has not been in
the fight; in fact he has kept as far
away from it as possible.
His stasement says that while
many opinions have been express
ed in the last few weeks on the
wisioni of the choice of Taft for
the leader of the Republican party
and he does not hesitate to say
that this has proved great stumb-
ling block in the paths of many
men-nevertheless he advises the
entire country to work for his
election. Senator Foraker's state
ment in part follows:
1T is the duty therefore of all
Republicans to turn their backs
upon the last six months of inter-
pathy wrangling and strife; to
turn their faces toward the COM
mon enemy.
In this hour bitterness and di-
vision must be relegated to the
rear and every effort must be made
to solidify our ranks and inspire
all with the spirit of union, har-
mony and triumph,
Roosevelt men, LIE Toilette
men and Cummins men and Taft
men must all alike forget past diff
ferences and remember only the
virtues of each of these great lead
ers, and with a common united ef-
fort go forword to another nation
al victory for the Republican par
ty, which is greater than any man,
and to which we are more devoted
than we can be to any individual.
Mr.. Sherman is a Republican
of the old school. "Mr. Sherman
is Republican of the old school
He is known as staunch Repub-
lican His denomination will be
found very popular the country

Mrs. Ruoy Crntchfield of Trez-
want, Tenn, is also said to have
had copy and failed to make an
effort to have it published for three
years, and was followed by var
led lot of misfortune, which she
attributed to the fact of her neg
lect in this respect.

EpiStle Written
By Our Savior

taken as resting day to myself.
And he that hath copy of this
letter written by my own hand and
spoken by my own mouth and
keepeth it without publishing it to
others, shall not prosper, but he
that publisheth it to others shall
be blessed by me, and if their sins
be as many as the stars by night,
and if they truly believe they
shall be pardoned, and they that
believe not this writing and my
commandments will have my
plaques upon you and you will be
consumed with your children,
goods and cattle and all other
worldly enjoyments that 1 have
given you. Do not once think of
what | have suffered for you; if
you do it will be well for you in
this world and in the world which
is to come.
"Whosoever shall have a copy
of this letter and shall keep it in
their house, nothing shall hurt
them, neither pestilence, thunder
nor lightning, and if any woman
be in birth and put her trust in
me, she shall be delivered of her
child. You shall hear no more
news of me except through the
Holy Scriptures until the day of
judgment. All goodness and pros
perity shall be in the house where
a copy of this letter is found. Fin.
ished."
The story goes that the little
child who found it passed it to
one who became e convert to the
Christian faith. He failed to have
the letter published. He kept it,
however, as a sacret memento of
Christ and it passed down to diff
erent generations of his family for
more than one thousand years.
During this period the family suf-
fered repeated misfortune, emi-
grated to different countries until
finally one of them came to Amer
lea, bringing the letter with him.
They settled in Virginia, then
moved further South, still followed
by misfortune when finally the last
member, daughter, approached
her deathbed and called a neigh Dor
Mrs. Thompson, giving her the
letter and related its history for
more than one thousand years.
The Thompson woman began the
attempt to have it published and
it first appeared in the Rome ga
Tribune on October 81. 1891. It'll
then appeared in the Dalton GA
Citizen, and Mrs. Workman, now
living in Marion, Ind, clipped it
and kept it in her possession for
many years without an effort to
have it published. She was fol-
lowed by misfortune, which she
attributed to her neglect in trying
to have the letter published.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-07-06

We are publishing below let
ter supposed to be written by
Christ. 1t is being published by
many papers throughout the coun-
try. According to the history of the
letter it was written by Christ just
after his crucifiXtion, signed by
Angel Gabriel ninty- nine years
after the Savior's birth and pre-
sumably deposited by him under
stone at the foot of the cross.
On the stone appeared the le-
gend: Blessed is he who shall
turn me over"
No one knew what the inscrip-
ton meant or seemed to have suffi-
cient curiosity to investigate, un-
til the stone was turned over by
little child and the letter which
follows was discovered.
"Whosoever works on the Sab
bath day shall be cursed. | COM
mand you to go to church and keep
holy the Lords day. without any
manner of work, You shall not
idle or misspend your time in be-
decking yourself in superhuities
of costly apparel and vain dress
ing, for l have ordered it day of
rest. 1 will have that day holy
that your sins may be forgiven
you.
You will not break my COM
mandments, but will observe and
keep them, they being written by
my hand and spoken from my
mouth. You shall not only go to
church yourselves, but also your
man servant and maid servant.
Observe my words and learn my
commandments.
You shall finish your work ev-
cry Saturday at 6 O'Clock in the
afternoon, at which hour the pre-
paration for the Sabbath begins.
l advise you to fast five days in

day and continuing the five days
following in remembrance of the
five bloody wounds received for
you and mankind.
You shall love one another and
cause them that are not baptized

thereof, and in so doing | will give
you long life and many blessings.

levers. He that hath given to

Lowell, Jund 26.-The CON-
mencement exercises of the Low
ell high school were held this ev-
ening at Keith's Theatre, when a
class of 223 boys and girls were
awarded their diplomas in the pre-
sence of a large gathering of par
ents and friends. The first grad.
uation exercises of the school were
held in 1858. The salutatorian
of the evening was Teresa g. Lew,
colored girl, whose exceptional
ability as a studen, placed her at
the head of her class of girls. Miss
Lewis family is well known in
Lowell, its ancestry in these parts
dating back before the revolution.
Her brother was also graduated
from this school with honors Il
few years ago. The valedictor-
ian was William Q. Noonan, and
among those who received diplom-
as with Chinese lad, Wong Dick.
When his name was called he
came to the centre of the stage he
was given a warm reception by the
audience. Wong Dick was born
in China and came to this coun-
try with his father when very
young.

DEHOUNCE
DIRT IN DEPOT

The patrons Of the Monon depot.
Hammond's newest and most attractive
passenger station are criticising the
railroad bitterly and vehemently on
account Of the manner in which hte
new depot is maintained.
The floor is filthy with dirt and does
not look as though it has been cleaned
out in weeks, or since the opening The
white enamel woodwork is soiled and
looks as though it had been used for
years.
The toilets are filthy. dirty and look
as though they had not been cleaned
out since the depot was opened To the
public. The depot platform is cluUered
up with freight and there are always
two or three express trucks out in the
middle Of the walk
The folly Of locating the depot at
point where there IS such limited plat
form space is obvious. lit is under
stood that the railway management VIII
not allow anything for maintenance Of
the depot, and this accounts for its
present condition.
There has been some talk of taking
up the matter of the cleaning and sani-
tation of the depot with the railway
management in the hope that it would
DO something to improve conditions
