NEGRO LABOR ROW BRINGS A
PROTEST BY BRITISH UNIONS

London, Nov. 25.-Trades unionism
which has been growing Informally at
the prospect of the introduction of col
ored labor in Great Britain, has made
a formal protest. The National Trans
port Workers Federation, one of the
largest unions has passed a long res
olution condemning certain proposals
of the government affecting labor The
resolution says, in part:
"The federation's executive hopes
that the authorities will not be so i'll
advised as to attempt the Introduction
of any class of colored labor on the
docks or other waterside places of en-
ployment. In the existing crisis to
think of employing colored labor
would mean the recrudescence of all
the trouble and discomfort expert
enced by the increased employment of
Chinese in the mercantile marine.

BARGAINS FOR
WHITE FOLKS ONLY

Louisville, KY, Nov. 25.-Many stores
in Louisville discriminate against
their colored patrons. Colored women
cannot get a glass of water nor use
the toilets in certain stores; they can
not fit gloves nor corsets nor hats. But
Crutcher e Starks, Mems Clothiers, at
Fourth and Jefferson streets, is the
first firm to publicly advertise race
discrimination In large advertise
ment in last Sundays Herald they say
a certain proposition is only for white
parents"
To Mr.. Lee l.. Brown goes the
credit of discovering" the obnoxious
feature of the advertisement. He i'm
mediately called the attention of
other men to it, and they agreed with
him that it was not matter of whe
ther Crutcher & Starks wanted the
patronage of our people, but that the
principle involved in public house of
this sort advertising race discrimina-
tion was a very serious matter. This
sort of thing is bound to increase race
prejudice; every reader of that "ad"
was affected by it one way or another.
and it is safe to say in the nature of
things that prejudice against our peo-
pie was given certain impetus.

most every person then present has
taught teacher training class every
year since.
"There are now such classes in 100
Negro colleges in nineteen states.
They register 5000 students. The pro-
gress since 1911 is from $50 students
in nine institutions five years ago. The
gain has been steady each year, this
year numbering 1882 students more
than last. Among the nineteen states
where the work is carried on North
Carolina shows the largest number,
4S4. and Ohio the smallest, four. Sew

organized exclusively for members of
the faculties.

proved by the Congregational, Metho-
dist, Presbyterian. Christian and

NEGRO FARMER MAKES RECORD.

More than half bale of cotton to
the acre is the record made by an old
Negro, Aaron Sims, on Harris county
lands. Sims farm is at Huffman,
where he owns 500 acres, part of
which is under cultivation, part pas
ture, and the remainder in woodland
tract.
This year Sims planted thirty acres
in cotton, from which he has just har-
vested and marketed nineteen bales.
With the average price of cotton this
season around IS cents, his approx
innate income from this crop alone was
more than $1,700 which was exclusive
of seed.
But he has not farmed in cotton
alone. Sims is the proud possessor of
eighty head of hogs, which he has
raised mainly on sweet potatoes, to
say nothing of about eighty chickens.
Sims was an interesting visitor Fri
day at the Chamber of Commerce,
where he related his story to Assist
ant General Manager G. G. Roussel.
He brought a giant tuber to show Mr..
Roussel, which is pronounced to be
the best specimen of potato that has
been brought to the Chamber of Com
merce this season.
The potato weighed 10A pounds and
is perfectly formed. There have been
other large potatoes, some weighing
eight and nine pounds, but even these
were sharled and twisted in a tortur-
Gus fashion. With the exception of a
few natural eyes and creases the po-
tato is perfectly smooth.
From tip to tip it is 91s inches long
and measures inches in diameter. In
circumference the long way it is 27
inches, and around the middle 1t is %
inches in circumference.
Sims said that he raised this year
nearly 1000 bushels of potatoes, but,
of course, they were not nearly the
size of the giant he brought to the
Chamber of Commerce. He says he
has fed most of them to his hogs.
When asked how he raised them he
said, 81 don't know, boss; | just plant
ed them and they just growed."
In addition to his farm work, Sims
and his sons, seven in number, do log
ginE work for several saw mills in the
vicinity of their home. Sims owns 81
head of oxen with which he does this
work. He says this work alone is suf-
ficient to provide for himself and his
family.-Houston Post.

NEGRO SUNDAY SCHOOL
WORK GROWING RAPIDLY

The Watchman-Examine in dealing
with the Negro and Sunday school
work. says:
THE modern school of methods for
Sunday school leadership is develop
ing among the Negroes. The second
such educational convention is now
meeting at Clark university, Atlanta,
Ga. The movement began in Septem-
ber, 1913, at Knoxville college, when
forty-seven people were present, rep
resenting nineteen institutions. AL

after him, he went down in the
boiler room of the gin, picked up
a four-pound hammer and wait
ed. The first man who came at
him, Mckinley Cam, received a
blow in the head which fractured
his skull, some one threw stone
which knocked out crawford be-
fore he reached anyone else.
While he was down they knitted
him in the back and kicked him
until they thought they had fin
ished him, when they permitted
the sheriff to arrest the uncon-
scious Crawford on condition
that he would not take his pris-
oner out of town until they knew
whether Cam would live or die.
Cam wasn't hurt as badly as
they thought, but nevertheless a
mob went back to the jail at a
O'Clock that afternoon, took the
keys and guns away from the
sheriff and jailor, dragged Craw-
ford through the streets with a
rope around his neck, hung his
mutilated body to a pine tree at
the entrance to the fair grounds,
and expended a couple hundred
rounds of ammunition at it.
On Monday a meeting was
called in the Abbeville courthouse
at which it was decided to order
the sixteen sons and daughters
of Crawford and their families to
abandon their 500, 900 home and
get out of the State by Nov. Is.
After the meeting this mob pro-
ceeded to close up all ths colored
shops In Abbeville.
The Columbia State, in pow
erful editorial, pointed out that
in view of the exodus of labor
from the South to northern in
dustrial fields and the approach
of the boil weevil, South Caro-
lina's problem was to keep her
colored men instead of serving
notice on them that no matter
how industrious or successful
they might be, their case was alb
solutely hopeless. 1t so convinc-
ed the business men of Abbeville
that they had lynched their own
pocket-books, that on Nov. 6, an
other meeting was held in the
court house, at which the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
passed:
1--WE, the citizens of the city
of Abbeville, in mass meeting
assembled, do hereby express in
unqualified terms our disapproval
of the recent violent acts of GER
tain persons committed in our
community, and the spirit of law

WORLDS RICHEST
NEGRO YOUTH

Tulsa, Okla. Adam Manuel,
Creek freedman, died in Colora-
do recently, and already there is
race on among some of the res
idents of Muskogee county to get
the appointment of guardian for
his children.
There are five of the children
living, and the elder Manuel in
herited the allotments of two
who'are dead, but the guardian
ship is sought because of Luther
Manuel, a minor son, who is be-
lieved to be the richest Negro
boy in the world.
When the allotments were
made for the Manuel family,
those of Luther, 13, and Rafeld,
his youngest brother, were in .
locality where the land was
worthless for farming purposes.
Their father complained that the
land was valueless but he was
unable to have any change made.
1t turned out that the allot-
ment of Luther, believed to be
worthless, was in the heart of
the Cushing oil field. Since that
field was developed nearly six
years ago his income from it has
amounted to from $40, 600 to $25, :
600 a month. The allotment of
Rafield Manuel is not so valuable.
The allotments of the other chill
dren are good for agricultural
purposes only.
Sarah Rector has been consid-
cred the most fortunate of all
those among the Creek freedmen
who took allotments in that sec
tion of the country, but her for
tune is far less than that of Luth-
er Manuel. For a time, when
the Cushing oil was at it's best,
or for more than two years, her
incom was $1,000 day.

inquest, but took no testimony.

my power to uphold the law and
let the offenders know that such
acts will not be tolerated, and
that those guilty of violating the
law must suffer for it. | have

States representative and Sheriff
Burts as the highest peace officer
in the county, to leave no stone
unturned>in order to vindicate
the law and all the powers of the
governors office are at their dis
posal in bringing the guilty ones
to justice. ;"
The lynching referred to oc-
cured on October Fl in one of
South Cardinals most beautiful
and progressive cities. Anthony
Crawford, the victim, was fifty
one years old, worth over $40, 600.
He got into a row with a white
storekeeper named Barksdale ov-
er the price of cottonseed. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Barksdale call
ed him a liar and that Crawford
cursed him roundly in return,
whereupon a clerk ran out to give
Crawford beating with an ak
handle. He was saved from this
by policeman who arrested

nicipai building, but when they
let him out on bail a crowd of
men took after him again intent

Birmingham, Ala. An indica-

pers published by colored men
was been in the action of one of
the city detectives, Goldstein,
who ordered colored man, ven
dor of Negro papers. to go to the
office of the chief of police, as he
did not want Negro papers sold
on the streets any more. I" The
vendor, however, had taken out
a business license, and other
than being kept for two hours,
cooling his heels in the chiefs
office, was not interfered with.
1t is thought that this action in
dicates that when licenses are
