Arkansas Sues
Phillips County
for Prisoners
Board Bill

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 40
Fifth Avenue, New York, today made
public Il quotation from the Arkansas
Gazette of October 2S, showing that
differences have arisen between the
State of Arkansas and Phillips County
in that state over the expense of keep
ing in prison the colored farmers con-
demned to death in connection with
the Arkansas riots of 1919.
The colored men have been in
prison for two years, from November,
1919. and the Arkansas Penitentiary
Commission is expected TO sue Phli-
Inns County for n board Bill' of
s25OO, covering the period of 16
months in which twelve prisoners
from Elaine were held in the peniten-
tiary.
"County Judge William Larkin,
saws the Arkansas Gazette, "of Phil
lips County, several weeks ago said
that he did not intend authorizing
of the board bill on the
ground that the Negroes had been
sent to the walls for execution and
not safekeeping At that time mem
bers of the board said that suit prob
ably would be brought against the
This action ON the part of the state
has been interpreted as an indication
that the State of Arkansas is ont con-
fident that the Negroes who were sent
to the penitentiary for execution will
really he executed, now that the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People has fought
their cases up to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

FALSE RUMORS
EXPLODED
Efforts to Hurt One oi
Nashville's Big Business
Houses Fail.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. -. (spe

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct 24 (Spe-
IN cial) False rumors and false re-
1 ports with regard to one OF the
largest Negro Institutions in the United
States have been circulted for the pur-
pose of injuring said Institution. NThis
was not detected until this week when
n number of letters were sent here to
DIR. II. III. Boyd, the secretary and
founder of the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board, owned and controlled
by Negroes. One of the rumors set
afloat was to the effect that the Plant
bod been closed and was not able to
produce literature. Another rumor
was that DR.. Boyd had become men
tally deranged; and still another that
the Plant had gone into liquidation.
Members of the Board were seen
this weeek and they explained that all
this had been circulated merely be-
cause of certain denominational dit
ferences. An investigation reveals
the fact that the Plant, which Is To-
Gated here ut the corner of Second
Avenue and Locust Street, has done
an Increased business each year OF lts
existence. and even the last report
that was read before the National
Baptist Convention ut New Orleahs'
La, by DIR. Boyd himself, who spoke
for one hour and half before more
than three thousand interested hears
ers, showed that an increase OF more
than ten thousand dollars in business
with Il circulation increase OF over one
hundred thousand in literature had
beeu made for the year just closed
Dr. Boyd was given Il big ovation.
When he was seen this week about
the false reports he declared that he
had never attempted to run down
false reports. "A lie travels faster
than the truth" They say this is due
to tbe fact that once the truth ana
the lie went swimming, the lie came
ont first and stole truths clothes, ana
ever since that time the truth mas
zone around naked, so we call II the
naked truth" \ lie Is always dresseo
up and travels fast; truth is modest
and never pushes itself on people.
DR.. Boyd was feeling his bests' ana
declared that the National Baptise
Publishing Board, the property OIL the
Baptists of the United States, woulu
continue to function, and that the
Baptists were not going to be deceived
over these rumors.

NEGROES FL0G
White man

TENARKANA, Tex, Oct. - Taking
pattern after the white man of the
South, the Negroes have organized
themselves into what is now generally
known to be "Knight Owls" Their
nurpose is to watch what goes on at
night.
1t is alleged by the Negroes that
white men, high and low, are worse
after the colored women than the col
ored men are after the white women
and they are determined to break up
such practice.
If was learned here today that a
mob of Negroes severely whipped a
white man and a cOlOred woman wheh
they were discovered together near tiie
colored baseball park last night, ac-
cordinr TO officials who investigated
the matter today.
Officials declared that both were
whipped until their backs were badly
,oceroted. The colored woman was
s,rs+ whipped. While the whipping
was going on the white man attempted
+o oet away, it was said, but was
caught and whipped until he peggeu
for mercy and promised to leave town.

CAN'T GUST
RACE FROM
PULLMANS

Paducah. Ky, Nov. "A Pullman
is not II railroad coach within the
meaning of the Kentucky statutes,
Judge William Reed held in the cir
cult court here in sustaining demur
rer to an Indictment against the Pull
man Palace Car Company, charged
with violation of the Jim Crow law.
The Indictment was returned be
cause several members of our Race
have frequently been permitted to
ride in Pullman coaches between IA
ducah and Louisville.
As construed by Judge Reed, the
separate coach act applies only to the
regular coaches of II raifoad train.
Attorneys for the commonwealth VIII
test the ruling and an appeal was
granted. s..
For many years white Southerners
have attempted to humiliate women
and men of the Race who sought COM
Portable travelling facilities. Many
were insulted at railroad ticket win
dows in the attempt to purchase tick
cts. Complaints reached Pullman otfi-
cials and the company was threatened
with suits. Promises were given that
at the first opportunity the Pullman
Company would carry the case into
court and establish the exact limita-
tions of the separate coach law.
Prominent attorneys here declare
that the Kentucky statute is so slear
on the separate coach law that the de-
cision of Judge Reed will, without
question, be sustained by the higher
court.
Kentuckians consider it sweeping
victory over the promoters OF jim
Crowism in the State. 1t demon
strates. they contend, the Willingness
of the railroad companies to give first
class service for first class rate, and
on the other hand exposes the preJu-
dice of the white public.
