COLORED ORPHANS GUESTS OF
LINCOLN THEATER.
Will See Monday Evenings Perform
ance of Pollyanna, the Glad, With
Mary Pickford.

The little tots of the Colored Or
phahs' Home, will have a rare treat
Monday evening as the guests of Mr..
Goldman, managing director of the
Lincoln Theater. Arrangements have
been made for bringing the children
to the theater in automobiles and for
the serving of popcorn and doughnuts
after the show.
The life of an orphan at its best is
bleak and discouraging. AS much as
kind persons do to bring cheerfulness
and as hard as the nurses and ma
irons work in their endeavors to pro-
vide every comfort and to replace the
deceased parents of their children, it
is not the warmth and happiness of
the real mother-love. And in all of
this darkness and sense of loss, there
is that loss of courage which fits the
child for the worlds battle. Some
times ray of sunshine finds itself to
the orphans heart and brings to light
a treasure that has been hidden. Such
a play is Pollyanna, for in it Mary
Pickford spreads sunshine and glad
ness issue as it's rays of light. The
drama has a wonderful human appeal.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The Republicans of Jackson County
and the Fifth Congressional District
held their convention in this city last
Monday and it was a decisive and
overwhelming victory for the regular
Republicans headed by Walter s..
Dickey, Robert J. Flick and Thos. R.
Marks.
At every turn of the road in the
most skillful parliamentary battle
ever waged in political meeting in
this country the anti-boss element
was defeated at every turn and finally
in desperation withdrew the only
delegation they had on the floor of
the convention the Fourth Ward and
assisted in the organization of a rump
convention which met in the passage
way of the hall and went through the
form of nominating delegates. The
regular convention was presided over
by Hon. A. L. Reeves in magnificent
style, who ruled impartially, but
firmly on every proposition. Robert
J. Flick was the floor leader for the
regular Republicans and he exhibited
a degree of Parliam sntary knowledge
and floor leadership that won round
after round of applause from his
friends and admirers. Speeches were
made by many prominent leaders of
the party, the Colored contingent be-
ing represented by Nelson c. Crews,

JOY RIDE FATAL.
(By Special Correspondent

/ u
The shattered body of what was
once Buick 5-passenger automobile
strewn along the side of the tracks
of the Santa Fe Railroad at Eudora,
Kansas, is conclusive evidence of the
oft-repeated and biblical saying that
"the wages of sin is death" For the
occupants of the fateful machine
speeding along the highways of Kan
sas on Saturday, April "a, evidently
were bent on nothing but pleasure. No
thought of ruined homes and broken
hearts, perhaps, ever entered their
pleasure-bent minds as thew sped
along to their fateful doom to be
hurled into eternity without even
having time to breathe a prayer.
The accident occurred about 4 D. m.
Saturday at the main street crossing
of the Santa Fe Railroad. The car
was driven by John S. Patrick of
Kansas City and the names of his
companions were Joseph Ransom, also
OF Kansas City, and Mrs. Edith Men
denhall, sged %, of Denver. Colo, and
the wife of railroad porter residing
IN Denver also Miss Flossie Walker
OF Topeka, Kas., aged 21 years. They
were struck by Santa Fe train No. 10.
Death must have been instantaneous
to the women and Ransom, as the re-
port by DR.. Miller of Eudora and
other eye-witnesses stated that their
brains were scattered from the cross
ing as far as the mill about fifty feet
distant
chest was crushed; he had a large
scalp wound and his neck was broken:

Patrick was breathing when picked
up and was carried to the Santa Fe
denot. He lived about ten minutes
without uttering a word. DR.. Miller
states both his legs were broken. his
crushed. Mrs. Mendenhall's scalp
was crushed to a pulp and her brain
was strewn along the track for fifty
feet or more.
Citizens of Eudora state that the
car was being driven at high rate
of speed, that all the curtains of the
car were drawn and from the way
Main street crosses the tracks. il was
impossible for them to see the randi
ly approaching train.
Nothing was found from the wreck
age save two strong suit cases and on
the person of Mr.. Patrick over s5OOOO

and a ,3S Iver-Johnson pistol.
The bodies of Mr.. Patrick and Mr..
Ransom were brought here by a
brother of the former, Mr.. Roland
Patrick and the funeral services were
held Tuesday from the family resi-

DR.. Theodore Smith, known all over
the country as Kansas City's pioneer
druggist, who owns and conducts one
of the largest drug stores in the West
at 1901 East 18th Street, this city,
has met with such wonderful success
that he has found it absolutely neces-
sary that his store expand, and has
leased the adjacent building, 1903 E.
18th Street, in order that he may have
sufficient space to carry on his Won
derful and remarkably growing drug
business.
DR.. Smith carries a complete line of
pure drugs and drug sundries, fine
toilet articles, face creams, hair beau
tifier, combs, brushes and high class
stationery. His motto is: Service,
Quality and Price.
A Sun reporter, in interviewing DR..
Smith, found the following facts: The
years 1918 and 1919 were the great
est in points of business and finance
during the entire period that DR.
Smith has conducted a drug store anc
he has decided that during 1920 he
will transact 100000 worth of bust
ness.
And knowing DR.. Smith as we do
we have no doubt but that he will
"go over the top" because he has
what the customer wants, and when
he wants it and delivers it wherever
he can be found; that is, if the Gus
toner lives on earth.
DR.. Smith not only deals with the
local trade of Kansas City, but car
ries on an extensive mail order busi-
ness throughout the country.
DR.. Smith says that he will put
forth every effort to make his store
not only the finest in the city, but the
best equipped, most completely stock
ed drug store in the entire West.
DR.. Smith epitomizes those lines of
the poet, which say:
Heights of great men reached and
kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they while their companions slept
Were toiling upward in the night"

CHAPTER I.

Some months ago Prof. j. R. b.
Lee, the progressive principal of Lin
coin High School of this city, at an in
formal luncheon attended by num-
Der of business and professional men
suggested the idea of delegation OF
representative men visiting the
Southland and studying conditions and
ascertaining the methods used by the
people of our group in the South to
achieve the wonderful business sue
cess for which some sections of their
country is noted. Mr.. Lee had been
associated with the educational de-
velopments of our Race in the South
for more than twenty-five years, more
than sixteen of which were spent at
Tuskegee Institute, and when his
ideas were accepted relative to the
trip, naturally he was selected as the
leader to arrange the itinerary, rout-
ing and program and magnificently he
filled all of these trying duties assign
ed him
On April at $50 o'clock over the
Frisco this history-making delegation,
twenty-seven in number, left on their
tour of nearly three thousand miles.
People of both races in every city
visited, have had a new awakening
and the men of "The $4,000 Business
Mems Special" as it has been called,
have a new vision of the achievements
and possibilities of the South.
The first stop was Memphis, Tenn.
There they were met with automobiles
by committees with the following
chairmen:. Reception, T. H. Hayes;
finance, DR.. ]. L. Deloney; program,
DR.. w. T. Vernon; general, Rev. T.
o. Fuller. Breakfast was served at
the community center, followed by a
stroll through the business district,
where the banks, retail stores, insur-
ance companies, Roddy's chain of gro
Gerry stores, and various other enter
prises were studied. Luncheon was
served at the industrial settlement
home, and then followed an observa-
tion auto drive, to the outlying places
of interest, including the schools, col
leges, the great undertaking estab-
lishment of T. H. Hayes, which prac-
tically covers city block, and a drive
through the boulevards.
After dinner at the Community Cen
ter, reception to the visitors was
held by the Federation of Women's
Clubs, where fluctuations were ex-
changed, and addresses were delivered
by a number of visitors, including
Nelson c. Crews, editor of the Kan
sas City Sun; Attorney C. H. Gallo
way; Rev. J. w. Nurse, DIR. S. H.
Thompson, and others. The visitors
were officially welcomed to Memphis
by two of the city commissioners.
The next stop was Birmingham,
Ala, the pittsburgh of the South"
The committee from the local Busi-
ness League, headed by the following
as committee chaimen: Professor W.
L. Porter, principal of the high
school; W. B. Driver, insurance man,
and Hill Harris, president of the To-
cal Business League, met the visitors

escorted them to places of interest.
In a beautifully printed souvenir

stitute, Henderson Business College

two charitable homes, many social ac-
tivities, six hospitals among which
those deserving special mention are
the Jane Terrell Baptist Hospital OF
100 beds, and the Wilson Surgical
Hospital and Training School of rs
beds which are first class in every
respect. Memphis has two of the best
banks visited in the South, of which
is the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust
Co., of which J. w. Sanford is presi-
dent and B. NJ. Roddy is cashier, with
capital stock of 100000 ano
deposits of $940, 100000. This bank is
erecting a new 6-story building for
their future home which will be mod
ern in every respect. Every Office for
which except the ones used by the
banking firm, has already been leased.
The Fraternal Savings and Trust Co.
is another splendid bank, of which
Mr.. William Burroughs is president,
and A. F. Ward is cashier. They have
also let contract for new 10-story
building for their future home. Pos
sibly the most inspiring things wit
messed was the Roddy chain of CO.
operative stores, which has IA stores
now in operation with paid up capi-
tai of S40,00O.00, employing more
than so young men and women with
monthly sales of more than $4,000,
of which Mr.. B. M. Roddy is president
and founder. They have five drug
stores, three insurance companies,
four newspapers, two printing Offices,

erts is president and C. L. C. Manu-
featuring Co. with a capital of $780,
900, T. F. Johnson, presidents The
Martin Barber College is one of the
most complete establishments found
in the entire South, situated in beau
tifuf building that occupies a position
on one of the prominent streets. The
University of Tennessee, under the
leadership of the indomintable and
aggressive DR.. M. V. Lynch, is doing
wonderful work and is equipping
many splendid young men and women
for the profession.
DR.. w. T. Vernon was on hand to see
that everything possible was done for
the convenience and comfort of the
guests and stayed with US until our
train left his city. All Memphis is
enthusiastic for the election of DR..
Vernon to the bishopric. Among prom
inent places visited by the delegation
