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 conviced of mur
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 sanitat 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 have 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 a record. The record of his op-
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 a District where he does not live
through the influence and appea
made to him by the Harmony Grove
consisting of Depriest, Wright, An.
derson and jackson. A vote for Viii
liams as delegate for National Con
! vention is vote for good govern
ment as opposed to bossism and hant
picked candidates.

Walgreen'S Drug Store
Hires White Cashier

The Prominent Drug Store, locat-
ed at 35th and State Sts., controlled
by the Walgreen Syndicate, has sup
planted young colored woman who
was formerly Cashier with a Cau-
casian gentleman of foreign appear
anee. 1t is reported the gentleman
is receiving fancy salary for rec
ording the purchases and ringing up
the cash from the enormous colored
patronage,
Displeases Colored Patrons
Many complaints have been re-
gistered in the offices of the Chicago
Whip against this indignty. General
expressions are to the effect that
colored patronage should be appre-
ciated and rewarded by employing
colored people. 1t is said that one
Greenberg, who has interest in the
firm used his influence to secure
the change. This gentleman also has
moved into fancy residential sec
ton far away from all objection
ables" who spend their money in the
pnlatial drug store.
This method of action according to
reports will estrange the business
relationship between white and col
ored people on the South Side. 1t
is hoped the matter will be adjusted
from period of fairness and equity
to all concerned.

from numbering the colored lad are
said to be at the point of death.
After being taken from the jail
Robertson was shot to death and then
