Contained in Two Treaties and Votes
 Signed By Japan and China.

Picking, May 27.-The text of the two treaties and thirteen notes signed on Tuesday by China and Japan was published here today. An official statement from the foreign office says the treaties contain no secret clauses.
 President Yuan Sai-Kai issued a proclamation in reference to the treaties, in which lie said: "Our rights and privileges in Manchuria have suffered enormously. We are ashamed and humiliated, but our own weakness invited insult. Let all the people unite and work harmoniously for the supreme object of saving the country"

Mr.. Chas.4Williams, of Ri n
mond, who was one of the found
ers of the Pageland Hardware
company, died at his home a
few days ago after a long illness.
Cleaugh Jenkins, the 2O-year-
old son of Mr.. T. M. Jenkins was
stabbed in the breast just over
the heart by Eugene Clark, the
IL year old son of Mr.. ]. w.
Clark. on the graded, school
grounds here Monday as the
students were marching into the
sch, ol building after the noon
recess. The wound was made
with large, strong knife and
those who examined the knife
say the blade was bloody nearly
to the handle. Prof. Dukes was
near at hand but the deed was
committed SO quickly that there
was no chance of interference.
The boys at the school have had
a practice of Initiating" the new
students as they come, but this
had been done principally by
the smaller boys. and very little
thought had been given to it.
Cleaugh Jenkins entered school
on Monday and at the noon hour
there was talk of subjecting him
to the punishment, if such it
would be, but he objected and
nothing was done. Eugene said
they would get him at recess,
and one word brought on an.
other. They were getting in
line in front of the door to
march into the building when
in a flash the stab was made.
The accounts differ as to Just
how it was done. The student
body was thrown into confusion
and the teachers rushed out to
see what the trouble was. Prof.
Dukes, Miss Boggan and others
took charge of the wounded
boy, and doctor was hurriedly
called. The doctor refused to
allow the boy moved from the
school building until late in the
afternoon, so serious was his
condition. Mr.. J. G. Gathings
and Mr.. Lee Cato took charge
OF Eugene Clark and turned him
over: to the officers. He was a
etlates carried by Policeman
sfnnt and lodged in the county
Jail to await the outcome of his
victims wounds. The wound
ed boy has been in a desperate
condition ever since he wa,
stabbed, and as we go to pres.
this morning the news come.
that he is no better and that there
is little chance that he will live
Two doctors and a nurse have
been in attendance and every
thing possible has been done fol
him. but his condition does no
improve.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
In WAlI

Students in the Territorial Nor
NAL and Training School, in Hon
olula, have had, for a nun Der Of
years, Systematic training in var
lous lines OF vocational work,
cooking. sewing. dressmaking. mil
linery, carpentry, printing, etc.
AL the Hawail schools are feel
my the outside pressure for "prac
tical results" as are schools
throughout America. This utill-
tarlan demaLd has extended in o
every ramihcation OF the public
school system. The College of
Hawaii, which corresponds in
status 10 tue state universities f
the mainland, is placing strong
emphasis upon its technical cours-
es-sus gar technology, engineering
aid plantation agriculture. 1t is
endeavor.ng to relate itself TO The
local industries. The schools If
the Territory, from college to pri-
mary grade, are striving as never
before to produce a cltizer SHIP
that can do the daily work of
Hawaii. During the past school
y, ar this work has been uuch
strengthened by giving such stu
dents practice work in teaching
these vocational subjects. Under
volunteer system they are sent
out daily in rotation, one to each
of the large elementary schools i'll
Honolulu, where each is given
charge of a cooking or carpentry
department. These cadets, after
having actually managed the vo-
, cational departments in the larger
schools, will upon graduation from
the normal school, be )npetrnt
/ to handle such work in the schools
to which they are assigned. This
system is working admirably, and
in lew years Hawaii will have a
corps of well trained vocational
inst uctors, better fitted to cope
with local conditions than teachers

FIFTIETH YEAR
OF FREEDOM

The last day of December ends the
fiftieth year of freedom for Colored
Americans. December 18th marks the
exact ending of a half century of the
freedom of a race. Naturally the
career of a race freed by force
among those who held them in chat
tel slavery would be beset with diff
ficultics. AS a matter of fact these
Colora1 Americans have been stripped
of all their rights in the former slave
holding sections, and have had their
rights abridged in larger part of
the country 1t must be admitted that
this maltreatment has for fifteen
years been. ON the increase and dis
elimination for color under law or by
the government.
1t is agreed that the oppressed and
prescribed should resist through or
ganization. All this being so, is it not
true that Colored Americans will do
their civil and political status after
fifty years of freedom? Should we not
take account of stock?
The answer must be in the affirma-
tive. Surely there should be nation
al convention for this purpose. 1t
should be open to all who are in earn
est. Such a convention is the Eighth
Annual Meeting of the National Inde-
pendent Equal Rights League at
Philadelphia on December 18th, fol-
lowed by the national observance of
the senli-centennial of the Thirteenth
Amendment.
We urge in every community where
there is no branch league that an
Equal Rights Committee be formed to
send delegates. Let it also arrange
local Thirteenth Amendment celebra-
ton for Sunday, December 18th.

NEG % THE SEST

Sebetha, Kansas, Dec. l How
ard Wilson, sou of Negro farmer
near here, grew an average of 1929
bushels of corn on five acres in the
Kansas Agricultural College corn
growing contest this year. james
Wilson, the father, grew eighty
seven bushels of corn to the acre
on 1876 acres. Wilson will not per
nit a riding cultivator on his farm.
1t is to this and the fact that he
ploWs deep that he attributes most
of his success. Wilson grew more
corn this season than his white
neighbors. The reason for the
walking culliyators is that when
the cult vator misses a weed the
l.river will stoop and pick it up
whereas on riding cultivator the
driver will not get down and pull

to be helpful in shaping not only the
destiny of his own race, but by and
through their elevation, the destiny of
one that will live after him.
In recognizing these attributes and
traits of character, | am doing but
scant justice in the annals of our

the victims of insane and unnatural

appreciate the virtues and accom-

so eminent an American as the late
