NEGROES TOLD
TO STAY SOUTH
Tougaloo Negro Wounded
in East St. Louis Riots
Tells of Bloodshed.

JACKSON. July 2t.-Telling of hor-
rors and prosecutions suffered by his
race, Scott Wilson, d negro OF Toug aloo,
and who was wounded in the rioting
that took place several weeks ago in
East St. Louis, has just returned to his
home and is eager to warn others that
the "Promised Land" exists only in the
Imagination.
Wilson, who WAS employed by the
Alumna Ore Company, one of the larg-
est corporations in that city, was re-
tuning from his work, when he was
attacked by several white men armed
with guns, who shot him once through
the right arm to be temporarily para
lived. Scott says that many OF his
friends and fellow workmen were shot
down from ambush and were given no
chance for their lives.
The riot, according to Wilson, began
on Monday afternoon shortly after two
O'Clock and continued until the next
morning, when order was brought about
by the arrival of troops. A strike was
declared in the factory when the union
workmen demanded an eight hour day.
Upon the granting OF this demand, the
white workmen then declared that they
would strike unless all negroes We're
discharged. Upon the refusal OF the
company to do this the strike was de-
clareG and the noting began.
About 1900 people are employed in
this ce.rDoYatiull AHA .l4if of llls numhcr

of the cause of The riotlng, when scores
Of men. women ard children OF the
colored race were killed,
Wilson says that a large number of
the negro population of East ST. Lot
has left. He warns the members OF his
race against leaving their homes in the
South whit PROMISE OF better con-
ditions, for The only reward they receive
is backshot and lead at the hands of a
frenzied mob.

HEAR FARM AGENT

II. o. French, county farm agent, and
John Craft, county superintendent of
education, met large and enthusiastic
gathering at Sellers Consolidated school
on Thursday of last week. The meet
ing had teen planned the week pre-
viously and nearly every part Of the dis
trict was more or less represented.
All present showed great Interest in
the work, and while Mr.. French was
presenting his work and plans and had
concluded his address many present
spoke highly IN favor Of the work max
ing it clear and evident that the peo-
pie OF that part of Hancock are more
than willing to lend their cooperation
to the new work that is being launch
ed in the county.
The dry weather and the recent out
break of anthrax have worked a hard
ship on the people of this section as
we'll as other sectors OF Hancock county
but the good people are looking fol
better conditions this fall.
Besides interest being displayed a
mong the farmers of the county on the
occasion Of these meetings it is serving
another purpose of great interest to the
people of the various schools of the
county inasmuch that 1t is serving to
bring the different school communities
together intosclpser relation and tending
to bring aboutthe creation of the ruraI
| school as social center by holdin such
| meetings therein, purpose that ought
to be carried out in every district.

have told postoffice inspector who
sought her assistance in locating her
husband She at first refused to lis
ten to the assumption that Dwig-
gins was dishonest. When told that
investigation had given grounds for
suspicion. that Dwiggins had de.
frauded hundreds of persons, many
of them women and children of small
means, through appeals to their pa
triotism. Mrs. Dwiggins is quoted
by the inspector as saying: If ]
satisfy myself that what you say is
true, / will render you all the aid
in my power in searching for my
husband. He is unworthy of con-
sideration If he has done what you
say and / am a patriot first and a

York agency of the Bankers Life In
surance company, of Des Moines,
Ia, is alleged to have represented
that the CLUB" through which he
operated, was a government agency
and that its organization had the
support of the company by which he
was employed. Those whom he is
said to have duped, made initial
payments on the dollar down, dol
