OLD SETTLERS HOLD REUNION

The Old Settlers Association held
their 18th annual reunion at Mid
land Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug
.ust 10th and 18th. About O'Clock

coming from all directions, many
bringing old timers, their children
and grand children who greeted
each and every one in the good
old western style.
At $3.50 the parade started from

re Band. Following it was the
car carrying the officers Of the
Association: d. Bastian, Chairman:
Charles Robertson, Mrs. ID. Bas-
tain, Mrs. r. ] Mcclure and the
speaker of the day, George Philip.
Then came the cars filled with the
old timers.
After making the circuit Of the
city they proceeded to the Opera
House where splendid program
was carried out. George Philips
speech was forcefal, and to the
point, dwelling entirely on the
old timers, giving each and every
one something to think about, at
the same time drawing us nearer
together in spirit the same as
when the Cheyenne rancher look
ed upon the people along the Bad
River as thir neighbors distance
made no difference. Moreover he
aroused the old time spirit among
the crowd that lasted for the two
days fthen some of the old timers
were wishing for an extra day.
Many of the old timers got to-
gether at the noon hours and did
Justice to the splendid picnic din
ners. The program Of the first
day was: Midland defeating Philip
in the ball game; dance and show.

Hay shippers at Presho this year
are basing their crop on the 1919
basis as to extent and demand and
are expecting to ship two thousand
cars of that product from their
town this year. Just how many
cars were shipped from Presho. last
year is not known, but they claim
ed to be the heaviest hay shipping
point in the state.

The final act of transferring Syl-
van lake, fine summer resort
near Custer to the State of South
Dakota has been completed and
now the lake takes its place as a
state resort. The recent session of
the legislature authorized the pur-
chase of the lake and hotel and
other buildings for the sum of
S58,0OO.

Belvidere is sending out to the
world reports of its excellent crops
this year. Wheat is estimated to
yield from 20 to 35 bushels per
acre. Speltz is unusually heavy;
some fields are estimated to go as
high as SO and 60 bushels per acre.
The oat crop is above the average,
but there will be wide range in
the yield per acre, probably from
80 to 60 bushels. The alfalfa hay
crop was extra heavy this year,
and recent rains are bringing on
the seed crop in good shape. The
corn, although a little late, gives
promise of very fair yield.

One farmer near Midland came
in few days ago with his weekly
supply Of cream and a few bush
els of potatoes in a light spring
wagon, and got a return of over
500. Many farmers are getting a
return of over $50 week from
cream shipments, to help keep the
expenses of living going while
their crops or their shipping cat
tie are maturing for the market.
The farmer who knows that he has
this source of income to live on
does not have to rush his other
products to the market until he
gets ready to sell. and do that
with a certain knowledge that
there will not be scarcity of sup
plies on the farm if he waits a
few days for better prices.

Mix ninety per cent anticipation

All the time when the harvest

on its knees is calling aloud for

evening two wrestlers struggled

each others greasy flesh until one

Friday has always been consid-
cred the hard luck day, but Sun
day has it beaten forty ways. Sun
day, the day of seudden death, the
day for trying to bump the loco
motive off the track. Sunday the
day for rocking the boat, upset
ting the canoe, and swimming out
beyond the life lines. Sunday the
great and favorite day for sacri-
ficing a leg, an arm or a set Of
false teeth, the day for monkeying
with hornets and knocking down
the nests of humble bees. There
are many people who simply won t
take risks on Friday. They are
confirmed to the notion that it is
the hard luck day of the week, it
is an old fashioned and out worn
superstition that Friday is the dav
of hard luck. The catalogue of Fri
days trouble as compared with
hat of SUNDAY is much smaller,
the nature of its mischief much
milder, Sunday is the day the nat
ion fiirts with the laws of chance

with mosquitoes, chiggers and hor-

AN APPEAL FOR help
FROM ARKANSAS
Especial to The Tribune)


Little Rock, Ark-Several DAYS ago
leading Negroes from all parts of the
state of Arkansas assembled in the
city of Little Rock and organized the
CITIZENS DEFENSE FUND COM
MISSION. The personnel of the com
mission is as follows:
Dr. ]. G. Thornton, chairman; ]. H.
McConico, secretary; DR.. H. w. Suggs,
treasurer, Rev. j. P. Robinson and
Rev. R. NJ. Caver.
The object for which this commits
sion was created is to raise funds to
conduct the defense of the 81 Negroes
convicted in connection with the re-
cent race trouble in Phillips county,
Arkansas. The men composing this
commission are we'll established citi-
zens of wide acquaintance and repre-
sent the very highest type of spiritual,
professional and business activity.
Twelve of the Negroes convicted in
connection with the Phillips county
trouble have been sentenced to die IN
the electric chair and rs to serve SEN
tences in the Arkansas penitentiary
ranging from five to twenty-one years.
Negroes throughout the state and
nation feel that these Negroes should
be given full opportunity to prove
their guilt or innocence and in view
of that fact counsel have been en-
plOyed to fight the cases to the end.
A few days ago motion was filed in
the Phillips county circuit court for
new trial. The motion was over
ruled. On January 9th an appeal was
taken to the trial Every effort will
be made to defend the rights of these
Negroes, both in the state and federal
courts.
To fight these cases through the
courts will require a large sum of
money, and the Citizens Defense
Fund Commission is now calling upon
Negroes throughout the country to
contribute to this fund The Negroes
in every community are requested to
make contributions through some well
established organization like the
church, club, benevolent, civic asso-
Citations, etc, or send contributions
direct to the secretary,
J. H. McCONICO,
Box 112, Little Rock, Ark.
In this matter the race must act and
act at once Contributions should be
made and remitted promptly in order
that the progress of the defense be not
handicapped for lack of funds.

PRES. GOODYEAR CO.
COMMENDS EMPLOYEES
FOR Their FAIRNESS
Especial to the Tribune)

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 21.-One
Mr.. F. A. Seiberling, president and
general manager of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio,
addressed his managers and ment re-
Gently at their annual banquet. 1t
will lie remembered perhaps that
since the exodus north, hundreds of
colored people have found positions
in factories and they are working
their way slowly upward. 1t seems
in the audience that day a young
Colored man had been promoted and
selected by the employees as their
representative from his department.
Mr.. Seiberling observed him and
stopped to pay to the race with which
he was identified the following COM
pliment:
81 see before me a young colored
man whom the men in the factory
have selected as their representative.
l want to congratulate the men down
in the factory for their big, broad
minded action when they can break
down racial ties, religious ties and
social ties, or prejudices, if you
please. and select a man on his merit
without regard to his color or his
creed. Young man, l hope you will
prove worthy of the confidence placed
in you and that you may be an ex-
ample to your race, whom, we must
all admit, the white race has not
treated fairly"
1t may not have been in the Ian
guage you and l would use. but it
shows the white people are trying to
come our way.

France Invites Two
Million Colored Men to

PARIS, France.-The Petit Paris
ian, the foremost journal published in
France, recently said editorially:
with 100000 men lost in the war,
France is poor in man power. We
need 100000 men to help in the re-
construction of France. The only
country that can supply that man.
power is the American colored peo-
pie. The colored Americans are very
much dissatisfied, and there is much
unrest among them on account of the
treatment by the white Americans.
In some parts of America black men
are lynched every day. In France
they are treated the same as any
other Frenchman. In our hotels and
all other places there is no discrim-
ination. Let the French appeal for
100000 colored Americans to help
build up France"

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 21-The whole
power of the state will be exerted to

Green of Franklinton, declared Gov.
Beckett The lynehing took place in
Gov. Bickett's home county and is
the second within the year in that
county.
Gov. Beckett announced he would
offer a reward of $40O for each man
apprehended and convicted of parti-
cipation in the lynching, this being
the limit allowed by law
A coroner's jury examined six wit
nesses. but failed to implicate any
one in the lynching. 1t developed,
however that the chief of police of
Franklintown was holding the Negro

man whose murder led to the lynch

"The whole state is socked and hui
inflated by this terrible outrage on
our laws" said the governor.
"Such deeds put to open shame our
boasted white civilization and make
the name of southern chivalry a by
word and a reproach. 1t is true that
the crime committed was an afro
cious one. for he shot down without
cause and without provocation one of
the best citizens of Franklintown. This
naturally, aroused great Indignation
but it affords no semblance of excuse
for mob taking the law into its own
hands.
"The Negro, above all others, is en-
titled TO the protection of the law. He
has no voice in the making of the
law; he has no hand in its execution.
All the power and all the processes of
the law are in the hands of white

ANOTHER White editor
TAKES BOLD STAND
FOR EQUAL JUSTICE
(ey Associated Negro Press)

Newport, r. l., Jan. 21.-One of the
most influential daily newspapers in
America, the Newport News, comes
out in a strong editorial endorsing
definite program of justice. Says The
News:
"Apropos of a recent article in these
columns, touching upon the intensity
and the insistency of the Negro prob
lem confronting the nation under post
war conditions, and the imperative
need fer some measure of racial ad-
justment to secure and make sure
peace and harmony between the blacks
and whites, it is gratifying to see a
definite plan put forward looking to
this very end. This is proposed by
the Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, and is called a
constructive program" 1t is by far
the most comprehensive, most sugges-
tive and most practical scheme which
has yet come to our notice, and ought
to go far towards a solution of the
problem if wisely applied and rightly
accepted by both parties in interest.
salient features in this program,
which can only be barely outlined
here, include guarantees of security
OF life and property to all classes, by
national, state and local governments,
supported by public sentiment in the
enforcement of existing laws and pos
sible new legislation, economic JUS
tice for the Negro, which shall accord
him equal opportunities to secure and
retain employment, on the same terms
as other men, with equal pay for equal
work and fair living and working con-
ditions; protection of the sanctity of
home and womanhood; adequate rec
reation facilities; equal travelling ac-
commodations for equal charges; !;
proper educational opportunities, with
full share of national and local
funds; impartial application of the
franchise, irrespective of race or color,
and closer cooperation between the
races by organizing local committees
of white and colored citizens for the
consideration of matters relating to
inter-racial welfare
Here is a program which, though
it may be subject to modification in
some of its details, is well calculated
to secure to the Negro fair measure
of justice 1t is based on racial un-
derstanding and cooperation, which
can be the only foundation of race ad-
justment under a democratic govern.
ment. 1t is built upon respect for
Negro manhood and womanhood, an
absolute essential for permanent ra-
cial peace 1t recognizes the Negro
as man and as a brother, and pro-
poses to treat hi mas such. On nd
other basis can the present problem
be solved and the two peoples dwell
together in harmony"

PHILLIPS COUNTY NEGROES
APPEAL
transcripts Filed in Cases of IL Riot
ters Convicted of Murder

transcripts of appeal in the cases
of the II Negroes convicted in the
Phillips county circuit court recently
on a charge of first degree murder,
growing out of the insurrection in that
county, and sentenced to be electro
cuted, were filed in the supreme court
yesterday. The filing of the appeals
acts as a stay of xecution of the judg-
ment in each case until it is finally
disposed of. There were six tran
scripts filed, one containing the, ap-
peals of the five Negroes tried at one
time. Each of two other transcripts
filed was for two of the defendants,
the other three being for one defen-
dant each.
Five of the Negroes were to have
been electrocuted January 27, and the
date for the execution of the seven
others was fixed for February 2. Gov.
Brough recently granted stays of exc
cution for 80 days to each defendant
to enable them to prepare their ap-
peals to the higher court. AS soon as
the cases are submitted to the court
it is expected that date for the hear
ing on oral argument will be an
nounced. Should the supreme court
affirm the decisions of the lower court
Governor Brough will be required to
fix the date of their execution, unless
he should commute their sentences to
terms in the penitentiary.-Ar Arkansas
