Negroes Battle With Posse, But Surrender
 When Leader Is Killed
By AssoeIatsd Prsss

Houston, Tex, October 6.-Forty- five negroes. assembled in an abandoned church at Goose Creek, which had been transformed into an alleged gambling house, yesterday fought lively battle with a sheriffs posse of seven men. which did not end until one of the leaders of the negroes had been killed. The others sur- rendered.
 At the time the posse was searching for negro accused of killing another mem Der of his race. As the members of the sheriffs force approached the church, the negroes opened fire. The sheriffs force returned the fire and when the shooting ceased one negro was found to have been killed and the others ready to submit to arerst. They were placed in jail at Goose Creek, near here.

Sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, 55 witnesses recently testified in the United States Court, Western Dis trict of South Carolina, that they were benefited or cured of various blood troubles through the use of Hul- Ferro-Sol.
 Sul-Ferro-Sol and Sul-Ferro-Sol only-just think this over.
 Of this assembly, some had suf- fered six months, while others had suffered for twenty years. But they all swore that Sul- Ferro-Sol had done exactly as claimed.
 And here is our point of appeal. Use a blood purifier of proven eff ficiency.
 Sul-Ferro-Sol comes from d natural deposit of Iron, Sulphur and Potash recently found in Mississippi. It's nothing more than wonderful min eral water.
 Most highly recommended for rheu- matlsm, eczema, letter, facial blem- iishes, pellagra and all other diseases characterized by impure blood.

One Charge Was That President Wilson Had Arranged for Traffic in White Women Under Control of Negro Race-HefIin Made Over 20
 Speeches in Campaign
By HUGH NJ. ROBERTS

Washington, October 6.-(SpeciaL) The campaign in the Seventh district just brought to conclusion by the election of Capt. L. B. Rainey, demo- crat. was exceedingly vicious, accord ing to Representative Heflin, who, after making 21 speeches in that ter ritory. has returned to Washington.
 'T have been in many campaigns in mant sections of the United States" said MT. Heflin. but I have never been in a meaner campaign. What the republicans said about the President of the United States can scarcely be imagined. and certainly not repeated in the public press. But the criticisms and charges ran the entire gamut of excessive abuse.
 "One of the mild statements made was that President Wilson. in prepar- ing the league of nations. had premed itatively arranged it so that the col ored races of the world would have control over the white races and that the adoption of the league covenant would result in the traffic of American "oAtpA SupStfiSeu oS these cO1oFSu races.

After long and futile struggle in the water the little fellows exc'aimed. Well we won't baptise you We'll simply sprinkle you and let you go to he'll
 Turning to the republican who had professed to believe the charge against the President. exclaimed: And we will not baptise you; just sprinkle you and let you go wherever you want to go
 The negro question figured promi- nently. l told on every stump that Representative Tess of Ohio. chairman of the republican congressional cam paign committee was principal of negro school. and had declared the happiest moment of his life that in which he and his family sat down to dinner with a negro whom he had educated. Dr. Fess had written let ters to the district stating that the republican nominee. c. H. Kennamer, was an ideal man to serve in Congress from Alabama.
 "1 told the people that Kennamer, in republican convention. had voted to unseat white delegates and seat negro delegates. and that he was an ideal man. in all probability. to serve with Fess and others of his ilk At Boaz.

LABOR LEADER SAYS STRIKE A SUCCESS Fitzpatrick Defies Gary to Take Wife Into Area
 of Strike

Chicago, October 6--John Fitzpat- rick. chairman of the national com mittec in charge of the steel workers strike. in an address before the Chi cago Federation of Labor yesterday de- clared that 265.000 men walked out on the first day of the strike and that by the third day 37o,0O0 men were out. At least S70.000 still were on strike last week, he said
 He asserted that F. H. Gary, head Of the United States Steel corporation, was without conscience and defied him to take Mrs. Gary into the Pitts burg and Chicago districts. She would quickly make her husband change his methods. the labor leader asserted.
 Tt is to be a finish fight between Gary and his form of autocracy aud organized labor." said Fitzpatrick.
 Steel freight was only 15 per cent or it's normal tonnage last week. The strike situation in the Chicago dis trict is 100 per cent good. I really be- lieve. however public sentiment favors mill owners. but this is caused by the Influence of the newspapers"
 Fitzpatrick planned to leave tomor- row for Washington for a meeting of the executive committee of the Amer ican Federation of Labor.
