w. H. BLACK
Republican Candidate for
States Attorney
Has Strong Endorsement From
Leading Colored People

Hon. w. H. Black, Attorney-at-
law for number of years, and a
prominent man of Macon County,
formerly Master in Chancery, is a
Candidate on the Republican tick
ct for States Attorney. That he
is thoroughly competent and pos
sesses every qualification, there is
no question.
Mr.. Black has lived in Decatur,
and practised law here, for over
25 years and is a pioneer of this
City and County. The principles
of the Republican Party have been
espoused by him all of his mature
life.
In speaking of Mr.. Black, to the
representative of The Forum. some
of the most loyal and representa-
tives colored citizens have said:
Nv. H. Black is the friend of
the Colored man, or rather, he is
a man who is fair to all. He
makes no discrimination and be-
lieves in giving a square deal to
all. That is the sort of man we
are for, and we endorse. The Col
ored people never had better
friend than Black. Yes he will
poll a large number of colored
votes"
Such statement argues we'll fol-
candidate, especially when such
statements were voluntary and un-
solicited.
With these testimonials, we are
pleased to commend him to the
constituency of Macon County
The colored people, however, have
said nothing detrimental against
the other candidates, and declare
they will support the nominee,
whether Black, Deck or Walters.
Mr.. Black, they say have proven
himself to be man of the highest
and most valuable type, an I'M
swerving Republican and a patri-
otto American. He stands for the
progress and uplift of the city,
and will prosecute, but not perse-
cute, anyone who is an offender.
The forum. [volume] (Springfield, Ill.) 1904-192?, 1916-09-02

The correspondent has been in
formed that segregation is a thing
of the Past in Decatur theatres.
1t should not exist anywhere, and
will be eliminated everywhere
when the people become truly
civilized, ChrisJianized and hap.
tized in the Golden Rule.
Some few weeks ago, E. r
Browne took the matter to the
courts and it costs the theatre
managers about $500 and lot o
trouble, so they have reached tn,
conclusion that segregation is too
''darned" costly. All evil is sin
and all sin is costly.

w. E. COMBE
Republican Candidate For
Coroner
Well Qualified To Fill The Office
Can Be Relied Upon To Do
The Square Thing

Mr.. Combe is business man
and is known and we'll thought of
by the people of Macon County.
OF Mr.. Combe, the colored peo-
pie are speaking in the highest
terms. They believe he will make
an official against whom there will
be no odium. He is credited with
reputation which is an honor to
any man. Therefore, it will be
well for the colored people of
Macon County to think well
before casting ballot for any
other man.

NEGRO STUDENTS
SAVE ONION CROP

Amherst, Mass.-A force of 300
Negro students from the Hampton
Institute, Va, and 500 other Ne
groes from the South, farmed and
harvested the onion crop in por-
tion of Connecticut this year,
when the regular farms hands left
the fields for higher wages in the
munition factories of the state, ac-
cording to a statement of j. w.
Alsop of Avon, Conn.,, before the
Onion Growers of Hampshire and
Franklin counties yesterday.
Mr.. Alsop said: when our la
borers went to the factories we
raised $4,000 and sent to employ
ment agents in the cities. The
men provided were worse than
useless. Then we sent to the South
and got 800 students from Hamp-
ton Institute and other schools and
500 other Negroes.
These students went to church,
sang well and by their gentleman
ly conduct won the good will of
the community and the praise of
their employers"

GEORGE X. FLINT
Republican Candidate For
CORONER

We desire to call your attention
to George K. Flint, Candidate for
Coroner. This is a very important
office, an office which requires
the services of man who investi-
gates sudden deaths, or accidents
which terminate fatally. Forsuch
an office you desire a man of aft
ability, good temperament and
equipoise. Mr.. Flint is such man
He has been spoken of, in the
most favorable terms by colored
men who know him, and who have
dealt with him. He will also re-
cognize colored men to the extent
of placing them on the Coroner's
jury. This is the information adj
vanced by colored friends of Mr..
Flint who are advocating his NOM
nation. He is we'll qualified for
the office. Mr.. Flint is chemist
and has been in the business of
manufacturing chemicals for sew
eral years. Therefore, in support
ing Mr.. Flint, you need have no
fears of going wrong, or gettirg
man who will fail to measure up
to the requirements of the office.
