the Christians and spurned from

How ridiculous for Christian( >
consecrated bishop to be messing IN
politics, forcing his preachers,
where he can, to do likewise, ad-
vising the Negroes troublewards,
whilst he plays safe, and declaring
that he "will follow the devil to
split the Democratic party" lose
his own soul and disgrace his fam
lily, harm his race, ITO split the
Democratic party" Yet some Ne
gro preachers say he is a god. a
great man, a race leader. Shame On
US.
eve know this is strong, but If
somebody does not warn the people
we will have race riots and trouble
all over the state from the vain and
boastful assertions of this man who
claims to control all the Negroes.
He may control the devil followers.
"What on earth can the Negroes
hope to gain by following a Negro
like Chappelle who breaches ANAL
gamation of the races and who as
serts that, "I ar, soTy / am a
black man, wish was white, l
wish nv children were white. / am
sorry I am back. Amalgsmation
will solve the problem" These are
his words. and plenty Of Negroes
have heard him say so. Look up the
files of The Atlanta Independent.
He is a bad man.

aUNFORTUNATE RUMOR"

at is related that from some un-
fortunate and foolish rumors an un-
pleasant episode occurred at the
court house at Greenwood the first
Monday in April, when it was
thought or rumored that a lot of
Negroes were coming to register.
1t is said that Rev. c. W. Webb,
who went to the court to get his
wife's school claim cashed, was as
saulted and beaten up severely
about the head, and MIR. Marshall
was also beaten at the same time,
though neither was there to regis
ter, but on other business they
claim. Of course other Negroes who
may have intended to register did
not show up. We guess and hope
the proper parties will ferret out
the cause of the trouble and let the
law mete out justice. All good citi-
zens will agree on that We don t
know what offense Rev. Webb and
Marshall gave for the assault. We
don't think either was embued with
and led on by this fool talk of Bish-
op Chappelle's that Negroes must
register and have their rights, to
vote for Chappelle's new party, the
Democratic spli.ters, or die. The lat
ter is easy to do, and will be done
by innocent and unsuspecting Ne
groes who think they must do what
ever a Negro bishop says, without
any recourse to law, or method OF
defense. If Chappelle is in earnest
about bursting the Democratic par
ty and following the devil, We sug-
gest that he make a start at the
Greenwood court house or down in
Shadow Field section and he will
find his new leader very near.
1--WE are informed by responsible
men, white and colored, in the back
woods, that Chappelle's remarks
are hurled to the Negroes, and have
already stirred up much needless
strife. While the man is irresponsi-
BILE and foolhardy, his position as
a bishop over 100000 Negroes,
gives weight and color to his say
ing, and while his little pimpy
preachers boast that the bishop has
worked the Negro up to high ten
sion as never before as to his rights
we are in a position to know that
the host of honest, consecrated,
God-fearing preachers of the state
will not be misled and wrought up
into racial Bolshevism by Chappelle
and a few little unregenerated. un-

I TEMPE PLANS PURCHASE: IF
 ARMY ODDS

TEMPE, Aug. IS. T. The town of Tempe is going to buy a carload of army surplus food supplies if the peo- pie of Tempe want it. This was an nouneed yesterday by Mayor J. A. Dimes.
 It is the plan of the little valley city to order a carload of the army foodstuffs from Fl Paso, provided enough. orders are filed by Tempe resi- dents to justify ordering that quan- tity, which will total 36,000 pounds at the least.
 On account of the ls.ck of city funds to handle the purchase, Mayor Dimes stated that it will be necessary for the town to take subscriptions. Each subscriber or buyer will be asked to file a, list of foodstuffs desired by him. self or herself, depositing a check or cash to cover the value of the order. The food will cost the government price plus the freightage from Fl Paso, which, it is estimated, win be about a cent pound. All persons desiring to purchase food are urged by the mayor to file their subscriptions at the Tempe city clerks office at emce. 7
 The sale of army food begins to- day, and Mayor Dimes intends, if pos sible, to get in Tempe's order within the next two or three days. to make sure the town is not shut out from se- curing the food by previous orders.
 Notice
 In accordance with provisions of the war department the Town of Tempe
Arizona republican., 1919-08-18

is arranging to purchase quantity of foodstuffs from the Zone supply Officer at Fl Paso, Texas, provided we can get enough subscriptions at once to justify ordering a carload, which will require q minimum of 36,000 pounds. The sale starts Mon day, August 18th, and it is necessary that subscriptions be filed with the City Clerk as quick as possible. Ow- ing to the fact that the town has no fund to use to make the purchase it will be necessary that each subscriber file list of foodstuffs desired and de- posit check or cash to cover purchase price, which will be made up of cost per item at Fl Paso plus freight and handling charge It is estimated that cost of freight and handling will not exceed one cent per pound delivered at G. A. Goodwins Storage Warehouse in the rear of Express office. Sub scriptions will be received beginning Monday and it is hoped that enough will be filed so that the car may be ordered in day or two and avoid the possibility of being shut out on &C., countof the supply being exhausted at Fl Paso.

DEAL ID
 BUILD NEW HONE.
 r OR MESA BANK
Best Location in City Ob- tained for New Building
 Bank Has Shown Huge Growth-In Million Dol lar Class.

MESA. Aug. 1S.-J. J. Fraser, direc .or in the First National Bank of Mesa. returned yesterday from d bank meeting held in Los Angeles, bringing with him news that a deal had been consummated whereby, in the very near future. the bank will erect d
 Diendid building on the northeast sorner of Main and Macdonald streets, where the Brooks service station now $ located. The lot secured is consid- sred the best building site in the town 3f Mesa and is in size 1l0Xl40 feet. The entire lot will be covered by a building which will run anywhere from k125.000 to s175.o0O, and will house the First National Bank and the Mesa Bank and Trust company.
 This step, which will be a cause of rejoicing to every m&n and woman in terested in the upbuiiding of the town. has been made necessary by the con- tinued growth of the bank, Mesa's pio- aeer institution. Within the last three years the resources of the First Ma 1ioual have practically doubled, the total now being well above a million dollars with each year showing a steady and consistent increase.
 Ii has been found impossible to ac- commOdate the waiting lines of patrons as expeditiously as desired, and the force of ten employees work only to each others disadvantage in a building originally intended for an average small town bank. But when an fnsti- tBtion grows into the million dollar elass, it must have room to spread as Weil as continue the growth so well 9egun.
