RIGHTS SUNDAY,
SEPT. 9Th, 1914.
ALL MINISTERS AND CHURCHES
REQUESTED TO HAVE SPECIAL
PRAYERS AND SERMONS FOR
EQUAL CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS
FOR CoLoRED AMERICANS.

Hillburn, N. Y, Aug. %, 19l4.-TO
the Colored American churches and
clergy of the United States of Ameri-
CA
Greeting:-"R Righteousness Exalteth
a nation" saith the scriptures. The
main strength of the Afro-American
in this land of color prescription has
been their faith in God. When slavery
was abolished it was as if in answer to
the prayers of legions Of black mothers.
In the present unorganized condition Of
the race the enemy, color prejudice, is
overpowering US. We must look to God
Almighty for help.
For these reasons devoutly call
upon all Afro-American churches and
ministers to observe Sunday, September
9th, 1914, as Equal Citizenship Rights
Sunday, offering up fervent prayers for
this cause and for relief, and appealing
to your congregations to realize the need
of resisting the encroachments of segre-
cation, the injury of disfrsnchisement,
the horror of lynehing. We ask that
you ask Gods blessing upon the Annual
Meeting of our National Independent
Political (Right) League which meets
the next day, Sept. z, for 8 days in
Bethel Church, New York City.
Byron Gunner, President.

Proprietor Fined SIS.


Although the maximum fine under the
criminal section of the law is $500, in
view of the existence of the police
regulations, Judge Olson ordered mini.
mum fine of SIS for the proprietor and
SIS apiece for the other two defendants.
He said that it was the first time he ever
had heard of the statute being invoked
against a Negro by a White person.
The Chicago Herald, Thursday, August
%, 1914.
Chief Justice Harry Olson richly de-
serves to be highly commended by all
fair minded citizens for imposing fines
on the so-called DR.. Harry Boyer and
his two servile assistants and it is too
bad that Justice Olson did not sock
it to them for five hundred dollars
each, instead of the SIS and S. apiece
and costs.
As the majority Of Colored people
seemingly delight to spend their money
where they are not wanted no doubt
they viii continue to flock to the Cha
teau Cafe and blow. in their money
there for wine and whisky highballs
in order to assist Corn Prof. Boyer
to pay his fines.
Be it remembered that Capt. or Col.
Boyer will not permit, so he informed the
writer with his own lips, the most highly
respectable Colored ladies to frequent
his beauty psrlors on east 35th street;
that he cannot use their money there
at all-but he can find use for the
money belonging to the most respectable
Colored ladies at his drinking saloon
further east on 35th street-Editor.

to the Civil Rights Act preventing
discrimination in the burial of the dead
in cemeteries and providing a penalty
therefor. The vote was SO yeas and
nays-none.
He stopped the progress of the new
marriage laws because they contained
the word "Colored" and compelled
Colored people to state their color be-
fore being granted q marriage license
Those bills died on the calendar.
He presented the arguments on the
two bills he passed and was honored by
the entire membership of the House
with a unanimous vote on both propo-
sitions.
His seven weeks in the legislature
stands unequaIled by fifty per cent of
the members of the House who had
four months lead on legislation.
His clear-eut appearance at all times,
affability, display of shrewdness and
ability, coupled with diplomacy and his
bulldog courage in winning his seat,
won for him the admiration and respect
of the entire membership of the House
and Senate. He had the ear of Speaker
Mckinley and maintained the good rec
ord left by his predecessors.

people residing in the 3rd Senatorial

maries Wednesday, September 9th, SO
that he will be able to continue his
good work in the legislature at Spring

GADSDEN COUNTY
CLAIMS THE BANNER

Quincy, July 20. Now that the
excitement of marketing this sea-
sons tobacco crop is over, and the
buyers have had time to figure up
their holdings, careful estimate
has been made of the value of the
crop. Basing the price of shaded
tobacco at prices paid to the farmer,
and sun tobacco at an average OF
Is cents and the expense Of handling
and packing, the crop this season
will bring into this county at least
So, 900, 900.
This tobacco crop alone would al
most make Gadsden county the ban
ner county in the State, but add to
this the greatest oat crop that was
ever produced in this section; by far
the greatest corn crop, the yield be-
ing three times as great as 1t was
up to three years ago; the cotton
crop, while not as large as in years
past, but large enough to be quite
consideration, and the cane crop,
which is said to be the farmers
money crop, and certainly no one
can deny that the agricultural pro-
ducts in Gadsden county this year
are worth more than that of any
county in the State.
