Death Cheats Moose of
Hanglnan

Dublin, Ga, April 9th. - Herbert
Cummings, colored, sentenced to be
hung for the alleged murder of a
white soldier, died in the death cell
this morning after an, illness of sew
eral weeks.
Cummings was conyiced of MUIR
der following a series of racial dis
turbances here last fall which re-
suited from the overbearing demean-
or of white soldiers returning from
France. 1t was claimed that the
kindness shown colored men by the
French women ranked in the breasts
of many returned white soldiers, who,
being unable TO convert the French
to their way of thinking, swore ven
geance when once back in America,
hence the race riots in one of which
the white soldier was killed.
Prisoners Health Neglected.
1t is claimed that the death of
Cummings is directly traceable to
the criminal neglect of jailer Jim
Thomas, who allowed Cummings to
go unfed for several days at time,
and who failed to see that the cell
was kept in a sanitaH condition. 1t
is also claimed that du ing the coolest
days of an unusually bitter winter,
Cummings was not furnished warm
clothing.

Augustus [. Williams
Makes Manly Appeal
TO Voters

On next Tuesday, April 18th 1920,
you will haye the opportunity to vote
for colored man to represent you
in the great Republican National
Convention which convenes in Chi
cago on June Sth, 1920 to nominate
a man for President of the United
States.
We believe you are going to be
very cautious and discreet and of the
two men aspiring for the honor you
are going to select the one whose
public record and life is unquestion-
able; the Man who has always stood
for the inalienable rights of the col
ored American; the man who has
never double-crossed or sold out his
race or his party. The man who has
a record that is second to none in
battling for his race, legally and
otherwise in the recent race riots,
and if so, you are going to vote for
Augustus L. Williams for Delegate
to the National Republican Conven-
ton, for he is the only one of the
two colored men running that has
such record. The record of his OPP
ponent, Oscar Depriest you know too
well for us to make mention of it
here, suffice to say he, Oscar De-
priest, has not as yet submitted you
his platform nor his public record,
yet he expects to be elected upon the
popularity of a white man, George
F. Harding who lives in the 9th Ward
and is now running as a Delegate
in District where he does not live
through the influence and appeal
made to him by the Harmony Crowd
consisting of Depriest, Wright, An
derson and jackson. A vote for Will
liams as delegate for National Con
vention is vote for good govern
ment as opposed to bossism and hand
picked candidates.
