Editor Ardmoreite:
Judge Gait, the distinguished
member OF the House from Car

tcntion your able editorial, which,
ii | mistake not, its tenet is a crit-
cism OF my vote on the prohibition
amendment to the Federal Const-
tuition.
| notice that in the first para
graph OF your editorial, you refer
to Asa Walden OF Love county, as
claiming to be a prohibitionist, but
does not vote that way. Of course,
reading between the lines can
clearly see that the same could
cast an insinuation that perhaps l.,

COLORED MAN Received
BRUTAL TREATMENT
IN LOUISIANA

Homer La.-Tnroug the sinking of
spouting oil wells in the midst of the
colored citizens of this place, many
colored families were made wealthy
by the sale or lease of their farm hold
ings. Ten thousand dollars per acre
was the price paid for the best land,
and some colored farmers held for
sale as much as 240 acres of such land.
One man, Mr.. Jones, invested 100000
of his money in United States Liberty
bonds, and others made investments
of similar sums to finance our war,
and because of their gratitude to the
genius of the land which had brought
them their wealth.
1t was the fate of Clarence Cooper
after selling his land at the top price.
to let it be known that he was leaving
for the North and the opportunity to
raise and educate his children without
the restrictions of prejudice and the
fear of injustice and mob violence.
AS Mr.. Cooper was about to enter his
church last Sunday ne was stopped by
a group of brutal and fiendish white
Louisianians and whipped into insen-
sibility in front of the church. After
it's inhuman and Hunnish action, the
mob entered the church and boasted
of what they had done, and mentioned
it as a warning to any others who
dared to leave the place in search Of
other conditions.
The United States Department of
Justice is being appealed to to investi-
gate and protect the colored citizens
against this open violation of their
Constitutional rights.

WHY CHALLENGER
DEMPSEY SHOULD
Win RING TITLE
BY His Manager, Jack Kearns

July 4th will witness the crowning
Of new heavyweight champion of the
world. His name is Jack Dempsey, of
Salt Lake, Utah.
Ever since | became the manager Of
Dempsey, something more than a year
ago, / have been confident that I mad
champion under my wing l am
more confident now than ever before
that Dempsey will annex the heavy
weight crown
The chance to battle for the title
was the goal that Dempsey and
headed for when we formed our paIt-
nership. The fear that Jess Willard
would refuse to emerge from semi-re-
tirement was the only shadow that
ever crossed Dempsey's path or mine.
Thanks to the daring spirit and
craftsmanship of Tex Rickard, the
peer of all promoters, the match be-
tween Dempsey and Willard has at last
become reality, and our goal is in
sight
When we started out / saw in Demp-
sey young, strong willing, hard hit
ting six-footer who needed only expert
ence and an adviser to make him a
championship prospect. We became
great pals from the first. Dempsey
trusted me and banked on my judg
ment, and | had unbounded confidence
i him. The result was a rapid climb
from the ranks of a second-rater to the
topmost rung Of the fraternity of chal-
lengers.
Dempsey has knocked oponents cod
with no more effort than l sit down to
my breakfast First of all he liked
fight. He still does. He acquired pol
ish so fast that it often made my head
swim to watch him work, and with eX
perience came the confidence that
counts for so much.
Today Jack Dempsey isn't afraid of
a six foot buzz-saw. There isn't man
in the world he is afraid to face. He
glories in a fight and he has that
something-call it nervousness if you
will-that makes him tug at the leash
when he is waiting for the bell

BLACK PATRIARCH
1856 YEARS OF AGE
DOWN IN ALABAMA

Troy, Ala.-Special-An interesting
old character lives in Pike County.
below Troy. He is an old negro man
who claims to be 135 years old. After
the war the old negro came to the
Milo section from Florida. His name
is Jim Chapman. He was native
African. He has a wonderful mem
ory remembering things of long ago.
When the census was taken in 1910
he gave in his age as 125. The old
negro has never worn a pair of shoes
in his life. He says he has never had
toothache and his teeth are now
sound and strong. He has never been
arrested for any deed. Iie has been
a good character and is much liked
by his white friends.
His wife, who died recently, was
a most interesting character. She
was an African by birth also and
was brought to this country by slave
dealers. She was bought off the block
at the slave market in Montgomery
just before the beginning of the war
between the states and came to Pike
county as a servant. She went by the
name of Jennie Boutwell,. She and Jim
Chapman met when he came here
from Florida shortly after the war
and were married.

Riga, Oct 13.-With determined
men lining the improvised trenches
along the river front near Riga, the
Let's are heroically battling to stem
the onrush of the German-Russian
army. Despite Bermondt's plea for
truce and united drive against the Boil
sheviki, the Let's have refused to have
dealings with the commander of the
invading forces and have sworn to
hold back the advancing hordes to the
last man. Authorities of the Lettish
government have left Riga and Estho-
nian troops are now engaged with the
Lettish troops in the fighting east of
the Duna river according to an Off
cial statement issued by Esthonian
headquarters A dispatch from Berlin
says $4,000 Let's have been landed at
Libau from British warships and will
attack the flank of Colonel Avaloff
Bermondts troops. A report from
Helsingfors states that the Esthonian
government has received an appeal for
help against the Russian and German
forces, attacking Riga.
