tural contract" This case is of un-
usual interest as it was the first le-
gal redress case undertaken by the
association, then in its infancy. The
following facts regarding the case are
quoted from the first annual report
of the association, published January
1, 1911:
Our legal redress work was in
augurated last summer by the pre-
sentation to Governor Martin F. An
sci of South Carolina of a petition for
pardon from the death sentence of
Pink Franklin, plantation hand who
had violated a so called agricultural
contract (these contracts constitute
ing the peonage laws Of most of the
southern states), and who shot the
constable sent to arrest him two
months after the offense was COM
mitted. This constable, H. H. Valen-
tine by name, broke into Franklin S
cabin at o'clock in the morning,
with a drawn pistol, without an
nouncing that he was an officer Of
the law, and Franklin shot him in
defense of his home. On January G.,
1911, Governor Ansel commuted
Franklin's sentence to life imprison-
ment, but the association will not
cease its efforts to free Franklin
from prison"
After saving Franklin's life the as
sociation continued it's fight to secure
his release from prison. In this it
was aided by certain white citizens
of South Carolina who did much in
the latter stages of the long fight,
but who desired to remain anonymous
and asked that they be merely known
as men who, loving justice and hav-
ing sympathy for the weak and lowly,
interested themselves in the case" +"
1t was through the persistent efforts
of these men that the final victory
was won.
After the Communication of Frank
Inns death sentence to life imprison-
ment the next successful step was
the communication of life sentence to
SO years on the Orangeburg county
chain gang. The third and last step
was Franklin's parole during good be-
havior which makes him practically a
free man. Franklin's parole was the
last official act of Richard I Man
Ling's second term as governor of
S nth Carolina.

To greet our souls this day;
Dispel the gloominess of night
And drive our doubts away.
Our longing eyes prepare
When war and strife shall cease.
To view the morn soon to appear,
The New Era" of peace.
Thy glorious church, o God,

From Thy great throne above,
We ask Thee on our hearts bestow

My soul the Light receives
And dares the Truth to prove,
Not in blind ignorance believes,
But knows that God is Love.
Come, Love, and give new birth
To mans destructive mind,
Spread where confusion reigns on

Shall turn the hour of darkest night

LIBERIA AND AFRICAN DEMoC
RACY

Hampton, Va, Feb. 24.-That it is
The duty of some Negro Americans to
go to Africa and help build up a
democracy in which there shall pre-
vail international justice and good
will was the vigorous plea recently
made by the Rev. DR.. N. H. B. Cas-
sell, president of the College of Lib
eria, West Africa, to the Hampton In
stitute student body. DR.. CasselI
said:
God places duty upon you Afro
Americans, to whom He has given
these wonderful opportunities, 10 go
so into Africa and build Africa up
ar1 establish there democracy in re-
ligion, in politics, in sociology, and
prove Liberia to be the open door to
democracy. This is the message
which 1 bring to the Afro-Americans,
and particularly to the younger Afro
Americans who are in school,
"Afro-Americans are not really and
truly awake to the fact that there is
point of contact between themselves
and the Republic of Liberia; they
have been disposed to diss1ciate
themselves from the African prob
lens. In the methods they have pur-
sued for wealth they have begun to
feel that the God in this worlt is the
almighty dollar. Possibly they have
believed that God is God of force,
lust as the Germans did There is
only one thing that is going to last
everlastingly and that is the good
we do for men, the help we bestow
upon men, the lifting up of men
President Cassell described the
contributions which Africa has made
to the literature of the world, to the
arts and sciences, and to church his
tory. He condemned most heartily
the caricatures og Africa which have
commonly appeared in Biographies
and histories.

SILVER THREADS AMONG
THE GOLD

Darling, l am coming back,
Silver threads among the black.
Now that peace in Europe neares,
I'll be home in seven years.
I'll drop in on you some night
With my whiskers long and white
Yes, the war is over, dear,
= And we're coming home, hear.
Home again with you once more
Say, by nineteen twenty-four.
Once 1 thought by now I'd be
Sailing back across the sea;
Back to where you sit and pine,
But I'm stuck here on the Rhine.
You can hear the gang all curse,
WAR is hell, but peace is worse. ="
When the next war comes around
In the front rank I'll be found
I'll rush in again pell nell,
Yes, l will will like hell.

he who reads the signs of the times
must realize that Africa, in the read
Judgment now the worlds great con-
ference, is going to be assigned its
proper place; that its people are no
longer to be exploited; that intcrna-
tional justice and goodwill will be re-
allied and exercised upon the same
principles as personal justice. Africa
is going to take her true place in the
worlds history.
think of Liberia as being possibly
the greatest pivot wheel around
which is to be evolved that great re-
public in Africa; that Liberia, having
been established on the West Coast
of Africa through American philan-
thropy, which until now has endeav.
ored to conduct a stable government,
is going to be the gateway through
which is to be established in Africa
a great democracy. Liberia has stood
on the West Coast of Africa for sew
enty years, contending with tremen-
dous odds, while all of Africa has
otherwise been divided among the
European peoples, whose methods
have not been such as would justify
Christian peoples, who have exploit
ed the land; who have been simply
desirous of obtaining their wares
their silver, gold, diamonds and rub
Der; who have been Indifferent to the
souls of the men and women upon
whom they have drawn; and who
have been perfectly Indifferent as to
whether the people have been pagans
or Mohammedans or Christians.
Liberia stands for quite a differ
ent thing in Africa than the methods
of the European people who have
been colonizing in Africa. Liberia
stands for republican ideas in Africa.
Liberia stands for the establishment
of the religion of Jesus Christ in At
rica. Liberia stands for the adoption
of national idea and a national ideal.
Let us hope that Liberia shall be
upheld; let us hope that Liberia shall
be given fair shance; let us hope
that the pressure and the disadvan-
tages which have been the experience
of Liberia in the past years, are all
going to pass away and that, as a
nation, she shall be regarded, she
shall be supported, she shall be up
held.
Let us hope that the principle for
which the world has undergone ter
rible holocaust - the shedding of
blood, the spending of billions Of dol
lars-the result of which is going to
be a readjustment in the code of
morals of nations, that the interna-
tional cmpact is going to be so COM
plete that a small state like Liberia
in Africa is no longer going to be
menaced by ships of war in her har-
Dor; that the principle of might over
right is no longer to prevail, but that
International justice and international
r play is going to be established"

Major limerick, and from here they

Americans Along Border
Fear villista Reprisals

Ell PASo, Texas, June 19.-Amer--
leans in Chihuahua are believed to
be hurrying toward the border to
escape Villista reprisals for the de-
feat inflicted on the bandits by tho
American expedition into Juarez.
The number of Americans in Chi
huahua is estimated at more than
100. exclusive of the Mormon set
tiers in the Casas Grandes district.
While Villista sympathlzers here
assert that the rebels would hardly
further endanger the success Of
their revolutionary movement by in
creasing American opposition thru
the massacres, many mining com
panies have ordered their American
employees to come out OF northern
Mexico at once. Carranzista troops
have been sent 10 Parral, an import
ant mining center, to protect Ameri-
cans there. United States citizens in
out-of-the-way places were directed
to so to chihuahua City. Torreon
and other guarded centers. As the.
railway south Of Juarez has been put
out OF commission by the bandits.
some Americans may have difficulty
In reaching the border.
Business men OF El Paso received
a telegram from Congressman Hud-
speth of Texas, asserting the acting
secretary OF state warned Ameri.
cans had better get out when they.
could and where they could NOT,
would have to suffer the conse--
quences."

Mondays fighting, which cost the
lives OF two American soldiers and
Younding of ten, has put the entire,
border force on its mettle. Bandits
attempting to raid American towns
and ranches will be given a warm
reception II is likely that any such
raiding parties will bs.pursued into

Huns Resigned TO
Fate and Will Sign

German feeling toward the peace
treaty appears to be taking a more
favorable trend. Altho the peace
delegation is represented as decid-
edly opposed to acceptance of the
terms tl,e latest dispatches from
Weimar reflect different viewpoint.
The majority socialists, the DOM
inant political force in the German
republic, are declared to be more
fayorably inclined toward the treaty
than at first. while the clericals and
democrats Of the left wing are re-
ported to be swinging in the same
direction. One report from Berlin
represents the people of the capital
as resigned to the future, desiring
only to see the treaty signed.
In the meantime, however. rum
ors of an exciting nature are printed
in London newspapers, 1t being said
that the British grand fleet is pre-
pared to sail on short notice for Ger
man waters, and that British dirig-
ibles are already near the German
coast, If not over German soil
Only minor affairs are being taken
up by the minor officials of the peace

dent Wilson in Belgium. Efforts are
being made to adjust the railway
communications between Eiume and

Of Italy. Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-
Slavakia. The problem may be left
over to be considered by the League
