woman wrote to a Chicago newspaper
telling of the fiendishness of the blood
thirsty mob, the utter disregard of the
law by the whites in this section, was
hunted down and shot 10 death. Mr..
f. T. Bush, the fatherinlaw, fired upon
the mob wounding several and fled.
The trouble was checked temporarily
but broke afresh yesterday when the
officers attempted to disarm all colored
people. The leading men refused TO be
relieved of their only defense and as q
result free for all mixup was in prog

Turns A 100000 Deal

r. VIM. Harsh, Jr., young real estate
broker of 300 f. 39th ST., this city
few weeks ago made an extensive trip
through the Northwest. He was sue
eessfui in selling 10 one of the rich farm

fiat buildings at a cost of 800, 900. This
is the largest real estate deal of the
month.
The real estate barons are not sur
prised at the accomplishment of this
aggressive young man, because he has
long passed the proud distinction of
having a thorough knowledge of the
business, and in addition one of the best
statesmen in this locality.

of the aspirations of the native African

Doctors, Lawyers and Teachers Needed
DIR. Nkomo says that doctors, lawyers
and teachers are needed particularly.
They also need missionaries, but only
the kind that have the welfare of the
native at heart. At the present the
white missionaries sent have lost their
hold upon the African because instead
of displaying a true Christian spirit,
many of them have sought to exploit the
natives and have further sought TO
foment strife between them and the
European governments.
Africa Not Looking Forward TO be White
DIR. Nkomo scourged the negro who
refuses to rec re that his sympathies
should be with Africa and who would
be white if he could be. He said Africa
was not looking forward to the time
when il would be white, but TO the
time when il would be controlled by
