NEGROES ADVOCATE CLOSING
NEGRO ~CLUBS- IN HARTFORD.

Hartford. Conn, Dec. 25.--"If such
a thing is possible and could be
brought about, | would like to see
men who have caused so much
trouble to the community and given
our whole race here in Hartford a
black eye, deported. either to the
places in Georgia where they came
from, or sent somewhere away from
Hartford" said John Brown, Colored,
employed at the Boston Branch.
Brown Is one OF the active members
OF the A. NJ e. Zion church and one
OF the best known of the local Col
ored men. He condemned the shoot
ing of Billy King last Sunday night
by Barney "Tom" Hicks. and attrf
buted II to the federation by the
authorities OF Colored mems clubs
in this city. In the last statement,
he was backed by Rev Richard r..
Fall. pastor OF the A. NJ. r. Zion
Church and John t. Goodman. citi-
Gems of several years standing.
Mr.. Brown. the originator OF the
deportation idea, estimated that there
are about $500 Colored people in
Hartford at present, Of whom some
700 were brought here from Georgia
in 1917 to help pick peaches. Some
'of this class stayed. Othes return
ed to their Souther homes. But later
came back to Hartford in large num-
bers. 1T is this class OF Colorsd
people,. said Brown. "who have catis-
ed all the trouble. They are always
in trouble and their actions not only
harm themselves, and get them into
all sorts OF trouble with the police
but reflect on the whole race.
Rev. NJ. Ball said that he saw lit
tie need for sending back the South
ern Colored men and did not favor
the idea. He attacked the gambling
houses and said that. not only dens
operated by Colored men should be
closed up. but also those patronized
by white citizens OF Hartford.

noble points. Ancient and learned
civilizations were erected by Negro
peoples and many lines Of kings were
created by their nations. II was
only when white civilization with is
rum and vices touched the shores OF
Africa to debauch the black man and
10 abduct him into slavery that a
stigma Of inferiority was placed upon
Him, and that by those who had
violated his human rights.
However, there is today a new
consciousness of solidarity among the
Negro race and new appreciation
as the land of their future develop
ment. The first Negro-owned linen
is trading between New York and
South Africa. A company called the
Black Star line has been organized
to create 4 line OF twehty-four ships
OF which the first is NAMED Frederick
Douglas. There may be no general
exodus OF Negroes to Africa, but
there will be a general increase in the
commercial relations between the
Negroes Of America and the con-
tinent OF their origin The future OF
the Negro race promises to be ac-
tive"

CROP ESTIMATES.
The Texas Cotton Crop.
BY F. N. Gray, Texas Cotton Crop
Crop Specialist

AsIOp .OpCSldilob
Houston, Texas, Dec. 20, 1919.
The final estimate shows the Texas
cotton crop to be practically the
same in number OF bales, as last
years short crop. Both years crops
suffered alike throughout the seas
ems. from extremes of weather in
fluence, but the excuses were totally
the opposite in character in applica-
ton to areas affected. Last year,
because of prolonged drought, the
west half of the State made little cot
ton, while the east half, with nee
essary moisture, made splendid
crop. This year. with excess of moi
sture throughout and multiplied in
sects of every known kind, the cas-
tern belt has suffered in almost
equal proportion therefrom, as did
the western belt last year from ex-
cessive drought.
The late date of killing frost, as
OF November IL, materially added to
the crop in that part Of the State,
unaffected by insects.
Picking has been most unusually

FEAR OF MOB VIOLENCE CAUSES
CHANGE.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press

Easton, Nd, Dec. 25.-The circuit
court of Talbot county. disposed of
the case of Isaiah Fountain, Colored,
convicted here last spring Of attack
ing Bertha, the Is year old daughter
of Robert Simpson, of near Trappe,
and sentenced to be hanged. His
counsel took an appeal to the Court
of Appeals on the ground the jury
could not render just verdict for
fear of mob violence, which, they
claim, took place here. The Court of
Appeals sent it back here to be re-
tired.
Counsel for the defense argued
for the removal to some other place
for fear of another attempt at vio-
lence, and the Court sent it to the
Second Judicial Court of Baltimore
county for re-trial.

When farmer goes to buy calcium
arsenate for boll-weevil poisoning he
should look carefully at the label.
1t should be printed on the label that
the material is satisfactory for cot
ton busting and that the manufacture
er specifies straight use OF the ma
terial without the addition of lime
or any other carrier. This is the ur-
gent advice of the boll-weevil special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. II it is neglected,
they say, the farmer may get mater
ial that either will not control the
weevil or that will kill his cotton.
Danger In Careless Buying.
Poisoning, they continue, will con-
troll the weevil, but the whole scheme
is seriously imperiled by careless
buying of poison. Much of the sup
ply offered last year was worthless
or worse than worthless. Many con-
Germs are beginning the manufac-
ture of calcium arsenate, and there
is danger that there will be even
large percentage Of unsatisfactory
material than last year unless care is
exercised in purchasing. AS many
farmers are already making their
purchases, or will shortly do so, now
is the time to exercise such care.
The farmer should not buy calcium
arsenate merely because it is labeled
or sold as such, the specialists say,
but should buy calcium arsenate by
specifications. 1t should contain not
more than three-fourths of / per cent
of watersoluble arsenic pentoxide, on
account of danger of burning plants,
It should contain not less than 40
per cent total arsenic If it con-
tains much less it will not control
the weevil. It's density should be
between 80 and 100 cubic inches to
the pound Otherwise it will not
make a satisfactory dust cloud and
the plants can not be treated sue
cessfully with it.
Examination OF Samples.
In order to be certain that the
material is suitable for cotton dust
ing the farmer should. as shortly
after making purchases as possible,
send samples to the Delta Labora-
tory of the Bureau of Entomology at
Tallulah, La, for examination. In
purchases of any size, samples should
be taken from at least three pack
ages. A safe rule is to take sam
pie for every 10 package. Each sam
pie should weigh half pound. Full
information as to the source and his
tory of the material should accom-
pany the samples.
Success in boll-weevil poisoning,
the specialists point out. depends on
observance of these precautions, The
farmer who II not willing to exer-
else that measure Of care would be
wise not to attempt poisoning at all.

HAS CONFIDENCE IN JUDGEMENT
Republican Women Came Into the
Party Entitled 10 Fullest POliti.
cal Participation.

Two thousand Republican men and
women gathered in the big ball room
! of the Astor Hotel, in New York City,
recently, as guests of the Republican
Women's State Executive Committee
of which Mrs. Arthur l.. Livermore
is chairman. Hon. Will H. Hays,
chairman of the National Republican
Committee and Mrs. John Glover
South, newly appointed chairman of
the Women,s Division of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, were
the honored guests, and in their af-
ter-dinner speeches sounded the clear
note of Republicanism, evoking en-
thusiastic applause. Mrs. Livermore
presided and introduced the speakers.
Mr. Hays outlined the policy of the
1920 campaign and other speakers
were Lit. Col. Theodore Roosevelt;
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, of Ohio;
Hon. Herbert Parsons. New York
member of the National Committee;
Miss Mary Garrett Hay. chairman of
the Women's Executive Committee
of the Republican National Com
mittee, and Mrs. John Glover South,
chairman of the Women's Division
of the Republican National Com
mittee.
The keynote of all the speeches
was cooperation of women and men
for the best good of the country, a
sentiment which was emphasized by
Miss Hay, when she said, Il do not
believe in laws for women only.
believe they should be for men and
women also. l believe men and wom-
en- are equally interested in the
same questions, the same measures,
the same everything. Let us
have cooperation of men and women
in everything, and let us all stand
for what we think is right"
Hon. Will H. Hays, chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
said that he looked to the woman
vote to supply the, safe, sane and
balancing anchorage for this country
that she furnishes in the home for
the family.
II look to the women to support
the Republican party in our deter
mination to stem the tide of social
| ISM" said Mr.. Hays. Il know that
women, in their first national ex-
preston of the power of franchise,
will show their inmate and continu-
ing reverence for that on which rests
the safety of the hottest things in
| life-law and order and progressive,
stable government AS it is /, only
Tin security and peace that women
can have their best life. most GER
tainly they will rally to those prin-
ciples which guarantee the integrity
of our national Institutions.
THE Republican party offers the
women everything it offers the men.
The only just rule for political
party is that the rights of participa-
ton in the management of the party's
affairs must be and remain equally
sacred and sacredly equal. The Re-
publican women in the country con-
stitute one-half of the party's mem
bership. In many states this has
long been so. In the presidential
campaign of 1920 it is my very earn
est hope and well-founded judgment
that it shall be so everywhere. The
Republican women come into the
party activity not as women, but as
voters, entitled to participate, and
participating, just as other voters.

ALL PARTY WORKERS WELCOME,

Washington, Dec 25.--Preliminary
plans for the Republican national
convention at Chicago on June s,
as outlined by Chairman Will Hays
Ut the recent meeting of the Republic
can National Committee in this city,
indicate that this will be one of the
most notable conventions ever held
in the history of the party. Certain
ly II will be the largest. in the num-
Der of party workers entitled to Off
cial seats in the convention, for al
though the number of delegates has
been slightly reduced, Chairman Hays
has suggested, and the suggestion
has been enthusiastically endorsed,
that seats of honor shall be provided
in the convention for those party
workers in each state who will be
officially responsible for the spirited
campaign which will follow the Sc
lection of a party candidate at Chi
cago. This list will include the
state chairman Of each state, the
head OF the women's division of the
Republican party in each state. the
chairmen of the ways and means
committees of the various states, AMI
the chairmen of the women's branch
Of the ways and means committees.
Mr.. Hays believes that these party
workers should be given every recog-
milton at Chicago. and that they will
thus, be better prepared to take up
the work of the campaign. The
Chairman announced that although
the Auditorium at Chicago, in which
the convention will be held. had been
enlarged, It was his purpose to have
just as many of the leading party
workers in attendance as he could
crowd onto the floor. and that he
believed the convention would be a
