"DEATH BY THE HANDS
OF PARTIES UNKNOWN
(By Associated Negro Press.

(By Associated Negro PreSS).
Washington, n c., Nov. 12.-Police
officials of Pitt county are baffled
in their attempts to find club which
might lead to the discovering the
identity of the murder of two Negro
men, whose bodies were found in
Tranters creek, where they evidently
had been thrown several days ago.
Relatives of the two young men state
that they left home about a week ago
on hunting trip. When they did
not return at the end of two days,
searching parties were organized. One
of these parties found the bodies in
the creek. Upon examination it was
found that both of the boys had been
shot Some hold the theory that the
two Negroes stumbled upon still
and that the operators put them out
of the way.

ON POLITICAL FIRING LINE

(Springfeld, Mass, Republican,
There are indications that the Ne
gro republicans of the south will be
a more important factor than hitherto
for many years in the next republic
an national convention. For one
thing, the number of Negro delegates
will be increased because there are
more Negroes stirred with ambition
for their race and kindled with a
desire to safeguard its interests
through political action. That the
participation of many Negroes in the
war has had much to do with this is
the conclusion of some observers. An
active organization of the Negro re-
publicans of the south with reference
to the national convention is report
ed from Virginia as being already
far advanced.

PROMINENT MEN OF THE RACE
ORGANIZE INSURANCE COMPANY
(By Associated Negro Pressl

(By Associated Negro Press)
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 12.-Fol-
lowing a series of important confer
ences here between some of the
races most successful and represent
ative business men, a charter has
been issued for the incorporation and
license of the Suprme Life and Cas-
ualty company.
This organization brings together
men who have demonstrated their
ability in conducting successful in
surance enterprises. T. X. Gibson of
Atlanta, Ca, secretary and founder
of the Fireside Mutual Insurance
company of Georgia and Ohio, has
been the prime factor in bringing
about this organization. The pur-
pose of the company is set forth in
the following statement, taken from
its announcement:
"The company is formed for the
greater development and expansion
of Insurance along casualty lines
among our people, and for the ac-
QUESTION by purchase and reinsur-
ance, subject to legal and depart
mental supervision, of life, health
and accident organizations in various
parts of the country.
Admittedly, our greatest CONNER
cial advancement has been achieved
in insurance. And while our few
old line legal reserve companies and
our many health and accident organ
izations have shared bountifully in
the tremendous industrial expansion,
yet, our greatly increased wages and
highly enhanced standard of living
have outgrown much of the insurance
now in vogue and have created a
demand for policies better adapted to
this period of reconstruction. The
Supreme Life and Casualty comes
to answer that demand
"a carefully conceived campaign
for the nationwide sale of these Sc
curities will be followed by the com
pletion of the organization and the
public presentation of the Supreme
Life and Casualty policy. The policy
is the result of years of scientific
study and actual experience, and has
been prepared exclusively for this
company by one of Americas most
enninenf act11ariaS
Among the names of those who
are sustaining Mr.. Gibson in his eff,
forts to organize this insurance COM
pany are such men as: G. w. Hayes,
U. S. Court. Cincinnati, Ohio; G. R..
Davis, Cincinnati; c. S Smith, Jr,
D. G. Chandler, Columbus; H. A.
Boyd, Nashville; W. S. Cannon, At

NEGROES IN CHICAGO
(Buffalo, N. Y, Enquirer)

NDNAAoAO5 ~ - 41Aqutl C1
"This city, if it is not cautious
remarks the Chicago Tribune, may
repeat its race riots and repeat them
on larger scale and deadlier scale
to its disgrace"
That startling statement prompts
further reading to discover who and
what to do about it.
One of the why's is that "the people,
of Hyde Park are determined that
they will not have their property
values unimpaired and the character
OF their neighbors changed by an in
flux of Negro residents"
What to do about it? Here is the
Tribunes answer:
THE Colored people must have a
section of the city for their homes.
They must have one which they can
use without fighting the whites or
melting the whites to fight them"
Quite as worthy quotation is the
Tribune's statement that mo one can
blame the whites for trying to pro-
tect the sections in which they live
and the value of the property which
they own"
1t is noteworthy that the Tribune,
which calls itself "the greatest news
paper on EARTH" and is one of the
strongest republican newspapers in
the country, is not for the moment
employing the hypocrisies which COM
monty mark northern and republican
discussion of race questions.
Illinois is as far north as South
Carolina is south. Chicago is as re-
publican as Charleston is democratic
Nevertheless, one view or the domi-
Cling of whites and blacks blankets
10th. So another sign appears that
northern liberality toward Negroes is
superior to southern liberality only
where and so far as therea re few
Negroes.
When Chicago has segregated her
Negroes in a Negro quarter she will
be only fair if she excludes whites
from it as vigorously as she excludes
Negroes from the white quarters. 1t
might be that the Negroes, if given
quarter of their own, would make
it the subject of white envy.
