LIMIT OF ENDURANCE ALMOST
REACHED.

That the Negro has endured all
the harsh and CALLING conditions
imposed upon him and remained in
the South, contributing with appar-
ent cheerfulness and with marvel
Gus willingness, his due share of
toll and labor, and more than his
share of sacrifice in the upbuilding
of this great Southern country, was
because there was no market for
his labor, no haven of refuge where
opportunity, mans chance, and
real freedom beckoned him to come.
And now, after fifty years of
hoping against hope, the gates of
the labor market have opened to
him in every section of our COM
mon country, and the ,call, the en-
ticing lure is not alone high wages,
but opportunity, mans chance
and real freedom.
In my opinion, the South is the
place where the Negro can best
reach his heighest development, if
living can be made tolerable and
|
brought under the protection of. the
laws of the states in which he re.
sides and he is granted the right of
sharing the benefits proceeding
from the laws.
But if the Southern white people
remain blind to the fact or refuse
to concede that the Negro is a hui
man with human aspirations and
ambitions the same as humans OF
other races and continue to with
hold from him justice and a square
deal there is no alternative but fol
him to leave the South that he loves
so well.
The wealth and permanent prog
ress of commonwealth rest upon
the foundation built by a laboring
class that is contented, and who by
their thrift and industry can be
come prosperous and happy. And
there is no room for nursing the
hope of prosperity where civil ant
political rights are denied in &
government where the ballot is the
only weapon of defense; where pro
lection under the laws is denied
where education is denied; where
the wages of the toll are insufficient tt
buy the necessities of life, ant
where Jim Grow Car and Segrega
ton laws are instruments of OPP
perssion and humiliation.
The Negro does not ask for spe
cial privileges or special Legislation
in his behalf. He does not ask tt

Vim Motor Truck Exhibit
Attracts at the Auto Show

H. Pelton's Vim truck, exhibited at
the Auto show, is attracting much at
tention from the farmer as we'll as the
merchant. The Vim is built in Phila-
delphia by the Vim Motor Truck COM
pany, pioneer builder OF light delivery
trucks. The production for the COM
ing season will be 10000 trucks, which
makes the Vim Motor Truck company
the largest exclusive delivery truck
builder in the world.
One look at this sturdy little truck
will convince you that it is built for
trucking purposes, as it has no ear
marks of a pleasure car.
The Vim is built in chassis only,
with twelve different styles of body,
which enables the purchaser to select
style of body suitable for his par
ticular kind of business.
G. w. Preston, sales manager of the
H. Pelton truck department, explains
that the Vim appeals to users of light
trucks on account of its simplicity,
sturdy construction and economy Of
operation. Every unit is of extra
heavy construction and is built to
stand up and give service to its owner.
The Vim has already gained its laurels
on the Pacific coast and east of Chi
cago, but owing to limited produce
ton until this year no effort was made
to enter the central west.
Arrangements for an enormous pro-
duction have been completed and the
battle is on in the central west.

Girl Wife Wins
Big Damages in

hours, a jury in Judge Troup's court
late yesterday returned a verdict
of $4,750 damages in favor of
Beatrice Melcher, girl-wife of Reuben
Melcher, who sued her father-in-law
and mother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
Abraham Melcher, for $4,000 for
alienation of her husbands affec-
tons.
The elder Melcher is livery stable
proprietor. His son manages the
business. The young wife alleged
that the elder Melcher and his wife
offered her a large sum of money if
she would leave Reuben. The aliena-
ton case, which was bitterly fought,
lasted several days and attracted
large crowds of court room specta-
tors. 1t went to the jury Tuesday

Sick headache!

DIR. J. J. Caldwell says that this exceed
ingly distressing disease does not shorten
life, but does not appear to be durable. Suf-
ferers from this affliction are condemned to
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty years of age, after
which the attacks are less frequent, and
finally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are all that it is pos
sible to suggest, while care in the diet is
the best preventive measure. An attack may
often be prevented by taking two anti
kamnia tablets when the first symptoms
appear. and one anti-kamnia tablet every
two hours during the attack shortens it,
eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamnia tablets may be obtained at
all druggists. Ask for AK Tablets, They
quickly relieve all pain.
