how the colord people were respond
ing to the draft and to other war re-
quirements," said the governor, "and
so l asked a state official of Tennessee
to make direct inquiry on this point of
the provost marshal general. To me
General Crowder sent this word: "Tell
Governor Rye that the colored people
are doing willingly and patriotically
everything that is required of them"
/ want you men to know that l am
proud of you because of that mes
sage"
He admonished the soldiers to be
true in every respect in order that they
may help win this war for civilization.
'Never doubt it: Our flag is coming
back wreathed in victory. Thank God
it is certain to come back gloriously,
and if you do your part you will have
share in the general victory" Gov
ernor Rye said he knew that when they
returned--and he hoped they would all
return-they were certain to have, they
could not help but have, new visions
and new love and passion for justice,
and fair play, and would be in better
position to appraise the fairness of
those who rule over them in govern
mental affairs than they had ever been
before, and he expressed the view
that soldiers who so fight for their
country without reluctance or COM
plant ought to have a share in the
government of that country for which
they have unselfishly fought.

RED CROSS NOTES

The allotment for surgical dressings
has been received, and as much time
has been lost due to delay in receiv-
ing the sample of pads to be made, all
workers in this department are urged
to come. Come early and stay late.
In the sewing room hospital gar
ments are being made as usual.
By means of the cutting machine,
the auxiliaries are kept well supplied.
We have this machine on trial only,
but feel that way will be provided by
which we can obtain funds with which
to purchase it.
The chairman of socks again calls
attention to, and urges che knitters to
be careful about measurements, avoid
knots and pins. Be sure to wash and
press before bringing in.
The chairman of the chapter has
been requested by the Divisional Head
quarters to appoint recruiting COM
mittee for nurses. This chairman will
be appointed at an early date.
Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the
Department of Nursing American REQ
Cross, says:
There are 23,154 nurses enrolled In

NEGRO
CRAZY ON RELIGION
Hangs Nude on Telephone Wires in
Memphis: Fifteen Policemen and
Fire Department Called Out to
Bring Him Down.

Henry Coley, negro who has been
attending the negro holiness meet
ings in this city, became crazed
week or so ago and was taken to Mem
rhis, where he has a brother, with the
hope that he might regain his balance.
Down there he seems to have taken
a notion that he was wire walker and
was found swinging from telephone
cables fifty feet from the ground. He
was entirely nude and fifteen hundred
people were attracted to the scene by
his antics.
Women and men watched the negro
pacing back and forth above the street
yelling at the top of his voice and
smashing telephone wires by the dozen.
The fire department was telephoned
and a big fire net was brought out, the
intention being to wash him of the
wires with big stream of water. FL
rally an extension ladder was run up
from the middle of the street directly
under him and he was coaxed into
coming down.
His brother gave out statement to
the effect that he had become mental
ly unbalanced following recent re-
ligious revival.
The negroes have what they call a
religious society by the name Of Holy
Rollers. They have been doing their
holy rolling in Brownsville for several
years and have made themselves sub
ject of much discussion and adverse
criticism by sensible members of their
own race. Their actions are so ex-
treme and absolutely foolish at times
as to render them a nuisance. The
wonder is that more Of them are not
pronounced crazy.

Editor States-Graphic:-As chair
man of the council of defense of Hay
wood county I have been requested by
the labor board of the government to
call attention to the fact that the war
industries of this country are short
100000 unsltilled workers, and the
coming requirements of war produc-
ton will necessitate our finding from
two to three million more in the near
future.
Tennessee has been divided into six
zones, of which Haywood county is in
the sixth. This county has been CALI
ed on to furnish 80 men of the number
required.
These men are to be recruited thru
me as chairman Of the public service
reserve of this county. I have been
called on to complete this work of re-
cruiting at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
am asked to give the name and ad-
dress Of every man that is willing to
accept service in war work, either
skilled or unskilled, but only the uns-
skilled will be called at this time,
white or back.
1t is the desire of the egovernmentthat
no farm labor or labor working on
railroads be disturbed.
Only men that are now unemployed
or employed in labor which is non-es-
sential, will be enlisted.
These men will be placed as near
home as it is possible to use them, but
they are expected to go TO- such places
as they are most needed and where
they can render greatest service to
the country.
Men with families will be placed in
the positions nearest homes.
all parties desiring to enlist in this
service win report to me at my office
at the Brownsville Bank and applica-
tion cards win be sent in to the proper
authorities.

GOV. RYE ADDRESSES
COLORED SOLDIERS

In his official capacity, as he stood
before the more than 900 colored sol
diers in camp at Fisk University We'd
nesday afternoon, the speaker was
Gov. Tom Rye; but it was not as the
governor that he spoke to the soldiers
and tauched them so deeply. 1t was
Tom Rye, the man, the sympathetic
fatherly man, saddened by the horrors
of this war which is depressing the
world, who spoke SO feelingly to the
young colored men-so feelingly that
many of them inquired if the speech
had been stenographically reported SC
that they might have copies of it. II
is regretted that this was not done.
When the governor, accompanied BY
President Mckenzie, appeared in ths
door of Fisk Memorial Chapel, the sol
diers and their officers all stood at at.
tention. They did not know what hi
would say; but he was the governor Of
the state of Tennessee and they want.
ed to Show him honor. After singing
the Battle Hymn Of the Republic,
Professor Fisher said that the series
of lectures on the moral aims of the
war would be improperly directed die
not the governor Of the state come tC
talk to the soldiers; and he asked Pres.
ident Mckenzie to introduce Gov. Rye
DR.. Mckenzie spoke of his official ples
sure and his personal pleasure in hav.
ing the governor present, and said that
he was certain that Governor Rye
would say something that would be
helpful. When he announced the gov.
ernor the soldiers stood once more a:
a mark of respect.
Gov. Rye was pleased, evidently, al
the appearance of the men and the cor
diality of his reception, for his first
words were: Lieutenant Coon,
wish the kaiser could see these fine ap.
pearing men who are gathered here!'
He told of the splendid response which
the colored people of the country were
making to every requirement Of the
war. He told of the colored man who
bought $1,000 Liberty Bond and who
asked the bank clerk to clip off all the
coupons and send them back to the gov
ernment Immediately so that he could
make them free gift to his country
-"the government which has done toe
much for me to allow me to charge il
for the use of my money" The gov.
ernor made it clear, however, that all
the people had been fine in their de1o.
ton to the country and in their willing
ness to serve it in every way.

FIRE WIPES
I Fl Y {
.BUS|NESS'S S
Loss 10000
Early Morning Blaze De
strOys Two Room ! n
Houses, Two Restauran,
and a Laundry.

One of the most disastrous fires
that has visited Ell Centre in recer
years early this morning destroye
three buildings in the 400 block OF
Broadway, wiped out two restaurants
Chinese laundry and two roomins
houses, causing total damages OF
approximately $4,000.
Starting from an unknown cause,
the flames spread with such rapidity,
feedin galmost instantaneously on
The flimsily-constructed buildings,
that many of the occupants narrowly
escaped with their lives.
Mr.. Morris, proprietor, with his
wife, of the Ramona rooming house,
proved the hero of the fire. Awak-
ened by the roaring flames, he
alarmed the roomers in his house and
got the last one to safety just as
the place became furnace.
SO rapidly did the fire eat its way
into the row Of closely built houses,
that the occupants were unable to
save any of the contents. and the
fire department was unable to stay
the flames. Finding that their fight
was losing one, the firemen con-
,entrated their work on saving the
surrounding buildings from loss. They
succeeded in saving two houses i'm
nediately to the rear of the burn
ing buildings and another rooming
house Immediately beyond.
The places burned out, and the
losses sustained, were: Rooming
house, 428 Broadway, run by Mr.. and
Mrs. Jean Ray; Chinese laundry al
1872 Broadway; Chinese restaurant at
1921 Broadway, property owned by
Dobbins & Ray, loss $4,000; White
House restaurant at 426 Broadway,
building owned by Holtville parties,
loss $500, and Ramona rooming
nouse, operated by Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
lis and owned by San Diego parties,
.oss $500. The only insurance oar
ried by any of the parties affected
was on the contents Of the Ramona
rooming house.
The fire started in the White
House restaurant. Fire Chief Fol-
som ascribes its origin to short
circuit or the to the gas light under
the coffee urn.
Due to the fact that the depar-
ment was called on a still alarm the
fire fighters were compelled to ba
le with the flames with ordinary wa
ter pressure for the first few min
utes. In a short time. however, the
power plant was notified and with
The additional pressure three lines OF
hose were turned on the flames.
