MEMPHIS
Roscoe COnklin Simmons to be Central Figure in Bluff
City Movement Nashville PTOmOteST Not Known
Memphis People Anxious For a Live
Wide a Wake Paper-Colonel
Simmons, Man of Wide Ex-
perience.

Rumor gained circulation in this
city that there are plans under way
looking toward the establishment or
a new Negro weekly. The promo
ters of this movement could not be
learned, but it is known that a man
connected with one of the papers al
ready being published was approach
ed on the subject; whether or not
that individual will be interested in
another paper is not known. The
parties who want, to launch the new
organ are very determined in their
effort, and in all probability another
Negro weekly will soon be issued In
this city.
It is believed by those who were
considering this movement that there
is room here for an additional paper
If the new enterprise materializes 1t
will give Nashville three secular pa
pers. AS it is probable that the Nash
Vile Tribune will in few months
bring out another issue. With the
Tribune in the field agan nd a new
paper, Nashville would be ahead OF
any other Southern city in the num-
ber of Negro secular newspapers.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Roscoe Conk-
lin Simmons, former publisher and
editor of the New York American and
at one time editor of the New York
Age, was in this city discussing the
establishment of a live weekly In
Memphis. 1t was also intimated that
If the weekly succeeded it would soon
be converted into daily. Mr.. SIM
mons has been looking over the coun-
try several months with view OF
settling down in newspaper work in
some locality where he believes the
best service can be rendered. While
in Nashville he impressed those with
whom he talked that he thought well
of Memphis. The Bluff City, il
seems, has received the call over both
Chicago and Louisville. 1t was
known that people in those cities
were anxious to have Mr.. Simmons
associated with them, but Memphis
presents greater opportunity thar
either of them for Mr.. Simmons tt
carry out the plans he has in minnd
1t could not be learned just wheI
either of these papers would be start
ed, but it is believed that the one II
Nashville will be started soon. Mem
phis people may expect theirs at any
day, for the men Of that progressive
city are not long in making up theil

TELLING OF THE DREADFUL RAYAGES
OF THE FLOOD.

Mr.. ]. H. Kelly, of 1882 Heiman
street, received a letter from friend
and class mate now living in Day
ton, Ohio, that tells of the suffering
of the people generally and the
colored people in particular. The
letter is as follows
Al 1-2 West Sixth street,
Dayton, o., April 10, 1918.
Mr.. ]. H. Kelly,
Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Kelly
| received your letter several days
since and was indeed pleased to hear
from you, and to know that you are
doing so nicely in sunny Tennessee.
Our business was extremely good
before the flood, but now the outlook
is not so bright. Words cannot pic
ture the devastation that the flood left
in its path here. The high water
swept right through the center OF
the city, two miles wide. The base
ment and first floor Of almost every
business house in the city are ruined
The property loss is $200,000,O0O, but
it will never be known how many
lives were lost. The city has been in
darkness, without power and gas, and
under martial law for three weeks
Most of the people are fed from the
relief stations maintained by the gov
ernment and the Red Cross Society
The high water came Tuesday
March 25. l heard that the river was
rising and went to see it while Mrs
Rives was getting breakfast, being
gone less than a half hour, yet when
returned home l had to wade in
water knee deep. We began to carry
books and other things upstairs, but
in few minutes the water was run
ming into the house and rapidly fill
ing the first floor. Step by step the
water followed us until 1t was five
feet On our second floor, in the meaI
time we were rescued from the sec
ond story window into boat. 1t was
one week before We could get to oul
house again. And entering at the ex
piration of that time what did We
find? A horrible sight-tne wall paper
had fallen, the furniture had beeI
washed apart and broken, our clothe;
were ruined, unsightly buildings haC
been washed against our house, ant
above all, mud, old-fashioned mud
was on both floors over a foot thick
10000 people suffered just as we did
and thousands of others returning
home found just the ground wher,
the house was, We lost all of ou
household goods and clothing, yet W
are thankful that our lives were saved
At the Record Office a $1,000 pres
which was in the basement was ruin
ed, hence it will be sometime befor
The Record will be published again
Tell the BCyds that the interior o
the Zion Baptist Church was ruined
The big pipe organ wrecked. Ever,
colored church in the city but on
was damaged.
Yours for success and happiness,

ness. Bro. Bosworth had been seri-
ously i'll only about two weeks and
five days, and only those closely re-
lated to him knew of his illness. AL
though he was feeble for some time.
his death came as a great shock to his
many friends. He was greatly loved
by all who knew him for he was al
ways pleasant and retained to a strik-
ing degree, the freshness and grace of
youth which combined the develop
ment of a fine nature though the ex-
periences of later manhood, gave him
an individuality that was instinctively
sweet and generous.
He was reared in Atlanta, Ca, and
lived in Maury County for many years
and about twenty-eight years ago,
came to Nashville, where he lived
until his death. He is survived by
his wife, four sons, and two daughters,

SCHOOL GIRLS GIVEN EMPLOY
MENT.

Madam Mabel Overton, a we'll
known milliner of this city, is doing
much to encourage the young school
girls. Few people ever realize the
struggles that many unfortunate
school girls have. They do not know
that many girls have had to stop
school and go to work to make a liv-
ing for themselves and perhaps some
of the rest of the family, thus depriv-
ing them of even a grammar school
education. Such would have been the
fate of one Of the Pearl High School
girls had it not been for the kind
ness of Nine. Overton, who employed
this young girl to work for her after
school hours, thus enabling her to
have the advantage of a High School
education, and at the same time earn
a little money for herself

A Guilty Conscience.

1t is little suspicious that the
sugarites should so violently resent
the imputation of President Wilson
i'm regard to the lobby that is said
To have established its quarters at
Washington. If they are not guilty
no harm will come TO them. In place
of resenting the charge it should
have invited Investigation and CO.
operated with the President in his
Efforts to investigate the existing
Observation-Disclosures.
This is another instance OF a
guilty conscience being a self-ac-
cuser. The sugarites are Interested
in sugar only, and are bound by no
principle Of party. What would thf
sugarites not do to keep sugar on
the Republican protection list OF
ainfant" industries.

Weather and Crops.

New Orleans Picayune June A.:
The past week has been favorable
reriod for the cotton crop from the
weather standpoint. Following the
good rains of the preceding week
there was plenty Of sunshine and
material rise in temperature. This
higher temperature enabled tha
speculators to start the cry of dan
GER from hot winds and the like, al
though the records do not show that
the hot weather was abnormal for
This period of the season, and it
certainly was not as hot as the same
time the past season.
According to all accounts the cot
ION crop is now making good prog
ress all over the belt, and the in
crease in acreage is known to Df
substantial. In south Texas and ir
southern Georgia cotton is already
blooming, indicating an early move.

Although some districts complain
Of backwardness, the crop as 4
whole appears 30 be doing very well
The corn crop profited by the goot
weather of the past week, as di'
also rice, although rain would nov
be welcome for both crops.

STARNS CONVICTED
or BOotIegging i'm Vivian, Lathe
Maximum Penalty.

In the District Court, Judge John
r. Land on being tried today, w. M
Starns, a bootIegger from Vivian,
was convicted of violating the pro-
hibition law He was sentenced to
pay fine of $500 and serve one year
at the Parish Farm, and one year
additional in default of payment.
LacrOuts, convicted of bootleg
ging, was sentenced to pay fine OF
$500 and serve one year on the Par
ish Farm, and one year additional
in default of payment.
In passing sentenced Oh the ac-
cused Judge Land remarked that
Judge Bell and Judge Blanchard
had imposed the penalty of $500 fine
adm six months on the farm, and
that this penaEy did not have the
desired effect on the bootlegger to
dcsist and to respect the law, and
therefore he, as judge, beginning
now, would impose the maximum
penalty on all violatorS of the law
of prohibition whether they are
white or black.
Judge Land announced that when
a question of veracity was raised
between sworn officers of the law
and the bootlegger or the bootleg
gers witnesses, he would give cred
ence to the officers of the law.
Judge Lands attitude is in keep
ing with comOn sense and is within
The spirit of law and justice.
AS rule, with very rare excep-
tions, the experienced judge can
readily detect the truthfulness or
the fabrication of witnesses when
On the stand.
District Attorney Mabry is to be
commended' for his success in Sc
curing convictions in these cases.
