COL ORED GIRL HAS
$500 A DAY INCOME

Oilton. Okla, Oct 2S.-The ris-
ing price of oil has boosted to
5000 a day the income of Sarah
Rector, 1S.year. r.old Colored girl,
who owns one of the most valuable
oil land allotments in the Oilton
district, and whose immense profits
in the past have attracted wide at
tention. The fight over the job of
being her guardian also has been
renewed in the courts.
Her tract of land is operated by
B. 3. Jones, millionaire oil man,
who holds lease negotiated by 7.
J. Porter, as the girls guardian.
It's production for October will be
approximately 100000 barrels and
Sarah Rector will get one-eighth,
or 10000 barrels, which she has
contracted to sell for 80 cents a
barrel.
A recent decision of Federal
Judge Campbell at Muskogee that
the producer must pay the royalty
in oil, if the owner SO desires, has
added 10 cents barrel to the girls
income Before that she had been
getting royalty on only so cents
the market price when handled
through an operator. But now,
owing to the great demand for oil,
she sells it Independently at
premium of 10 cents a barrel.
The Sarah Rector allotment has
been a good revenue producer
since it was first opened about two
years ago. The girl has received
from her land in royalty approx
mately 100000 in cash up to May
of this year. and on that date her
roya'ty oil had accumulated during
the previous four months was sold
at the then market price of 40
cents a barrel, netting her an ad
ditional S65,000
The land reached its high tide
in production during the spring of
this year 1t was estimated to be
making 10000 barrels a day dur
ing April, or 100000 barrels for the
month, of which the girls share
was $4,000 barrels, but her income
proportionately less than now be-
cause of the low price.
Much Of Sarah Rector's money
has been invested in farm lands
and Muskogee city property,
through her guardian. A short
time ago a suit to annul the lease
held by B. B. Jones on her oil
land was instituted by E. @.
Sweeney of the Commercial Ma.
tional Bank of Muskogee County
Court to recover 81, $4,000 from
B. B. Jones, illegally appointed
guardian. In the same petition he
asked to have 7. j. Porter removed
as her guardian and himself ap-
pointed to act for her and her sis.
ter and brother, who also own val
liable allotments. Tie county
court denied his petition.
Sweeney's attorneys then filed
suit in the Muskogee County
Court to recover 81, 1,250,0O0 was
specified as the proceeds of the oil

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 90
Much interest has been excited by
the announcement that the Sewers
block, located on Broadway, sun
ming from Main to Second streets,
the most prominent business To-
cation in the city, has been pur-
chased for Luther Manuel, a little
II year old Negro boy, by his white
guardian, at a cost of S12O,000.
The investment was sanctioned oy
Judge Leahy. Luther Manuel is
youngster whose income from
oil lands is pilling in at the rate of
$4,000 TO $4,000 a month. A
similar investment was made for
Sarah Rector, Is years old, who
has been called the richest Negro
child in the world. The Bid Fike
apartment and business block,
South Second street, was bought
for her for $4,000. This is in a
Negro section, but Sewers block is
in a locality where everything and
everybody passes.

sold by Jones and S320,000 as the
bonus the girl could have obtained
had she been free from the Jones
lease, The case has not been de.
cided.
The Sarah Rector allotment is a
fractional 50 acre tract lying along
the Cimarrcn River. 1t is very
rough and billy and has no value
for agricultural purposes.

Berkeley, Calf, 1915.-That the in

would not violate biological laws and
that the offspring of such unions
would be admirable stock is the opin-

In maintaining this opinion, the

BY authority of the Executive Com
mittee of the National Negro Busi-
ness League, l am writing to urge the
officers and members of state and To-
cal Negro business leagues to take
active steps at once to arrange get
together meetings" with the farmers
of their states and committees. By
carefully working out plans in ad-
vance for these meetings great inter
est can be aroused throughout the
surrounding rural communities and, in
my opinion. much good accomplished.
Notice should be sent to the farmers
telling them of the coming of local
league members, and acquainting
them with the purposes of the visit.
It is a better plan to use buggies, car
riages or automobiles than railroads,
as these conveyances will permit
wider areas to be covered and more
people reached. The program of these
tours might include calling on indi-
vidual farmers, speaking in churches
and schoolhouses, and visiting small
country stores.
By cooperating with the farmers in
this manner greater confidence may
be established between producer and
merchant, mutual buying and selling
methods adopted, and the volume of
business of Negro merchants in
creased.
Another way to bring about results
through Negro business league work
is for the local Negro business
leagues in cities not too far distant
to have joint meetings. For instance,
the local league at Tuskegee, Ala, has
recently held joint meetings with the
local leagues at Montgomery, Opelika
and Union Springs, Ala. AS the re-
suit of these joint meetings more help
full business and trade relationship
has been established between the bus
mess men of these several communi-
ties
1 very much hope that the local
leagues will take hold of these mat
ters, for by so doing they will help
the farmers solve their problems, and
at the same time increase the bus
mess of colored merchants.

people hold of the danger of inter

groes would produce as good results.
The offspring would have all the
good characteristics of both types
and would be immune to the exagger-
ated characteristic of either parent. Ill
effects which now come from in
breeding would not appear in the pro
geny of such unions.
We have tangible evidence for the
above in the natives of British Hon.
duras, where inter-marriage with
Negroes is not only sanctioned, but
customary. The hybrids are mus
cular, strong mentally and in every
way equal to their white brothers.
Negroes and women have had
their mental progress hampered for
many years. Women in the last fifty
years have shown that they can de-
velop with great rapidity and that
they are mentally mans equal We
have never given the Negro the
same chance. His backwardness is
not due to any inherent mental dis
ability, but simply because he has not
had opportunity.
"Give the Negroes the same chance
that we haye given women and we
will find that they will progress as
rapidly. I do not advise marriage
with Negroes in view of the present
racial feeling in the United States,
but there is certainly no biological
objection to such marriages"

was regarded as one OF the very
best backstOps in the big leagues. He
soon discovered that he could not at
tend to both jobs, and the experts
began to say that "a good Catchr had
been turned into a mediocre manag-
err" 1t matters not what sort Of a
boss Charley was the fact remains
that in the final games of the 1914
season, when he knew that he was
rid Of the worries Of directing the
team, Doom went behind the bat and,
in the words Of Pat Moran and others
who saw it, no better exhibition OF
catching ever has been seen"
Joe Tinker, several years ago, was
rated as one of the best aIl-rOund
shortstops the game had known. But
he went to Cincinnati to boss the
Reds and lost his cunning. Last sea-
son, as manager Of the Chicago Feds,
he took frequent vacations from his
infield post and since has admitted
that a man cannot do two things and
do them both we'll.
On the other hand, is it not strange
that the first choice in many circles
for the American League pennant in
1915 should be the Boston Red SoX,
by Bill Carrigan, playing
manager? And in the National
League. St. Louis, with Second Base
man Miller Higgins at the helm, and
Chicago, led by Roger Bresnahan,
catcher, are by no means relegated
to the rear end of the procession by
the experts. In fact. Cincinnati, with
Shortstop Charley HerZOg in charge,
is expected to raise some fuss.
But the fact still remains that in re-
cent years the bench manager has
been most successful, and soon the
playing boss will be a thing of the
past, unless we are greatly mistaken.
