The. Illinois No Idea: stated in its
columns last week; that it was the only
weekly newspaper which contained an
account of the drowning of Lawrence
De Priest, which occurred on Friday
morning, July 2sth, about IL O'Clock;
that is that same week.
In this the No Idea is sadly mistaken
and if its bright or brilliant editors,
will turn to the top of the 5th page
of The Broad AK, of Saturday, July
29th they will find quarter of :.
column article, giving the full details
of that sad affair.
Whereas, there were only about seven
lines devoted to it in the columns of
The No Idea of that same date July
Goth, which were pulled in from one
of the daily newspapers.
The writer happened to be in the out
er Office of Mayor Thompson, when
the sad news came to the City Hall
and observed Alderman De Priest,
when he entered Mayor Thompson's
automobile to be conveyed to the 35th
street bathing beach; so it will not
do for the gentlemen of The No Idea to
crow too loud until after they ara out
of the woods.

JOSEPH F. coNNERY HAS MADE A
DANDY RECORDER OF DEEDS.

At the November election in 1912,
Joseph F. Connery, one of the brothers
of John T. Connery, the successful
wholesale ceal merchant, was elected
Recorder of Deeds, and he was the
first Democrat to be elected to that of
fee in many years.
Since he assumed it's duties, he has
interjected many new methods into it
in the transaction of the, business in
connection with it, thereby, making
the Office earn the highest income in
the county's history; saving vast sums
of money, for the taxpayers, as we well
know, that results always COUNT.
His business-like administration of
the County Recorders Office, has been
highly endorsed by the report of the
Judges of the Circuit Court; the Chi
cago Bar Associations. the Chicago Real
Estate Board; Cook County Real Estate
Board; Board of County Commissioners
and the Torrens League.
Mr.. Connery, is one of the public of
fcials who is highly deserving of re-
nomination and reelection to his pres
emit position.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS FOR
NEGROES.

Washington, D. C,-To help negro
boys become practical farmers, and to
assist negro girls in becoming COM
petent housewives, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the State colleges, is organizing
throughout the South, Farm Makers
Clubs for rural negro children.
This activity, begun experimentally
last year by the Office of Extension
Work, South, has grown rapidly, and al
ready is thoroughly organized in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Florida, and
Mississippi. The work also is being
carried on to some extent in each of
the other Southern States.
The chief object of these clubs is to
encourage negro farmers particularly
in the cotton sections, to raise some
food instead of deyoting their entire
attention to a single crop.
In the clubs for boys, the typical plan
is to encourage and help the members to
use an acre, one-half of which is de-
voted to corn, one-fourth to potatoes,
and one-fourth to peanuts. This teaches
a desirable rotation, and at the same
time furnishes three food products for
human consumption, and two that are
useful for cattle or hogs. The girl
members of these clubs receive prac-
tieal instruction in gardening, canning,
cooking, and housekeeping.
According to reports, the county
superintendent of schools and teachers
of Negro elementary schools are sup
porting the work actively, and State
agricultural colleges and the technical
schools established for the race are ac
tive co-operators in the larger phases
of the work.

Jersey City, N. j., August 10
Especial to The Broad Ax.)-The board
of trustees and the parishioners of the
Bethel A. M. E. Church, are at it again.
This morning they had their pastor,
Rev. A. L. Murray, of 81 Oak street,
arraigned before Judge Dolan on the
charge of embezzlement. The COM
plant was sworn out by James R.
Straud, of 81 Jewett avenue, mem
Der of the board of trustees. 1t is
alleged that the trustees gave Mr..
Murray a check of $50 to pay a bill
and that he only paid $25, keeping
the remainder. After hearing the ev-
idence in the case, Judge Dolan paroled
the prisoner for the Grand Jury.

coLoRED FoLK-soNG FESTIVAL !
SUCCESS.
Big Chorus of Colored Men and WON
en-, Remarkably Well Trained, AS
tonishes Large Audience.

tonishes Large Audience.
That 200 unframed voices can be
successfully brought to "concert
pitch" was demonstrated at the Audi
torium last night when Asheville was
given its first Colored folk-song fes-
tival. Only ten days ago Mrs. E. A.
Hackley, of Chicago, whose mission
is the resurrection and presentation of
Negro folk-songs and plantation music,
arrived in Asheville and laid her plans
before DIR. J. W. Walker, the colored
physician, and other Negroes of this
city. They saw the opportunity, and in
less than two weeks there was gathered
together a chorus of 200 Colored men,
women, boys and girls. And in their
first public concert last night they
astonished large audience, with many
White people present, the latter ex-
pressing their appreciation in generous
applause.
1t was strictly Negro song festival,
with old, though well-remembered
numbers presented with perfect har-
nomination. Sopranos, tenors, altos
and bassos sang in splendid unison.
Particularly effective were "The Bat
tie of Jericho" harmonized by b, W.
Burleigh, who, by the way, receives
glowing eulogy in the last number of
Current Opinion, and "Every Time y
Feel the Spirit,'' harmonized by Carl R.
Diton. Perhaps the best effort of the
evening was the prize harmony chorus
"Listen to the Lambs" by R.
Nathaniel Dett. In this number the
fermentation effects attained their
best standard.
The success of last nights concert
resulted in the announcement that the
festival will be an annual event. At
the close of the program DR.. Walker
made a brief address wherein he thank
ed the people of Asheville for their
generous support in lifting the debt
off the Y. M. l. building. He also out
lined the work of Mrs. Hackley, say
ing that she was organizing the Coloredl
folk-song festivals in all parts of the
country in the hope of squirting musical
interest among the members of the
Colored race.-The Asheville, N. C.I

HELD.

San Antonio, Tex.-Twenty members
of the Eighth Illinois Infantry, the
Negro regiment, were under arrest
Tuesday following a fist and automatic
gun battle last night at Mataforas and
South Medina streets with the provost
guard, detailed from the Nineteenth
Regiment:
Private Clarkson of the provost
guard was shot down by one of the
Negroes. The shot was fred from am
bush, it is asserted. The wound is not
serious. A young arsenal was taken
from the Negroes arrested.
The weapons included a regulation
automatic, two forty-fves, several
revolvers of less caliber, knives and
brass knuekles. Among the weapons
on the police captains desk was a
rifle with the stock snapped off. The
mutilation of the rifle occurred when
