hood, where she was well liked by
everyone. Since her marriage to Earl
Barnes two years ago she has made
her home elsewhere. A few days ago
she came to the home Of her parents.
She is survived by her husband, year

FORCES WIFE TO SUBMIT TO AT
TACK OF LABoRER.

CARTHAGE, n. c., July 1.-Declar-
ing that her husband wanted to have
a little fun by lynching a man, Mrs.
James Naples (white) told policemen
that he held her and forced her to sub
nit to an attack by Jake Smith. farm
hand, who made good his escape.
Smith is not white.
AS result of her statement, Jim Ma
pies, the woman's husband, is in the
Moore county Jail in default of $4,000
bond, following his arrest on a war
rant sworn out by Mrs. Naples and her
brother.
According to rumors, Naples is al
legged to have said that Southern Pines,
where he lived, needed "little excite
ment," and he was going to bring it
about. Mrs. Naples alleges that he
sacrificed her to do it, but Smith es-
capped when he got wind of the plot.

DELEGATE TO coNVEN-

(By Virgie cole.)

A very interesting meeting took
place last Tuesday evening at the Ma
sons new hall, when Il large attend
ance was present to take part in the
proceedings. Mr.. V. 2. Hewetson-Wat-
son was elected delegate to the con-
vention of the U. n. l. A, which takes
place August 1-31. A short musical
program created new feature, which
was listened to with rapt attention.
The membership drive is on and quite
n few additions to our numbers are
coming in. The president and other
officers of the organization are re-
doubling their efforts to reach the 700
membership mark. The office is offer
ing much useful service to the organi-
Zation, and is but the beginning of the
preparation of avenues of success for
our members. A series of entertain
ments will take place this month TO
help to defray the expenses of the
delegate to New York. All real en-
thusiasts of the association will do
their best to carry out this venture.

INSULTING A JEW.

The free-for-all fight that was
pulled off recently at Clarendon
Beach between a small army of Jews
on the one side and number of other
groups-with the exception of ours
on the other started over the remark
made by a Jewish woman to sun
burned guard whom she evidently took
TO be coiored. She is reported to have
said that zone of these life guards
married white girl" Back came a
hot one about the Jews. The prologue
ends and the story begins.
Five hundred bathers took part in
the melee. Women were beaten, chill
dren trampled under foot, playground
apparatus broken and four persons
JAILED. Think of it, A beach fight
and not colored person in sight to
fasten the blame on. Wonder If the
chronic agitators will petition the city
council to set apart separate bathing
benches for the Jews? When we had
our beach party some TWO years ago
this course was suggested. Isn't it
strange that the things credited to be
peculiar to our group are indulged in
by our white brothers? We no longer
have a monopoly on being lynched; we
have lost the title of being the great
est rapists; we have been beaten at
the game of stealing, and the knife as
a settler of differences is in the hands
of Italians. Truly the Caucasian race
is dominant. But, getting back to the
Clarendon Beach affair, isn't it enough
TO arouse the fighting blood of any
self-respecting white man to be mis-
taken for colored, especially when that
white man can trace his ancestors
back a few centuries to the cave man
period?-Chicago Defender.

RECORDERSHIP OF DEEDS GOES TO
link" JOHNSON UPON RECOMMEN-
DATION OF PRESIDENT HARDING
WILL HOLD SEAT ON NATIONAL
COMMITTEE

WTASHINGTON, d. c.. June 81
w President Warren G. Harding
p" defied the "lily whites" of the
country in recommending the appoint
ment of Henry Lincoln Johnson TO
serve as Recorder of Deeds for the
District of Columbia, this week. MIR.
Johnson has been one of the most ac-
tive and conspicuous figures in ma
tional politics for years. He was the
center of attraction at the Chicago
convention, and holding the position of
member of the Republican National
Committee from the State of Georgia
caused him to be reckoned with on
every side. He announced that his
selection as Recorder of Deeds will not
mean that he will resign his place on
the National Committee.
'AIy life is an open book" he said
''The only real enemies I have made
were through my stand years ago in
connection with the pressing of peon-
age charges, and the feeling has been
largely dissipated by recent disclosures
of conditions on the jasper county
murder farm.
1T was due to my personal efforts
that indictments We're returned against
James NJ. Smith of Oglehtorp, Ga, Il
millionaire farmer, who later was can

Johnson was graduated from the
University of Michigan in 1892, and
soon afterwards was admitted to prac-
tice law before the Georgia courts. He
has taken active part in Georgia poll
tics among his own race since his re
turn to that State.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, nominated
by President Harding to be Recorder
of Deeds for the District of Columbia
has long been Il leader of one wing of
the Republican party in Georgia, and
has been noted for his plain-spoken
language in the party's conventions.
Johnson has spent most of his time
in Washington since he was Recorder
of Deeds under the Taft administra-
tion, but has kept his residence in At-
lanta, returning to take part In pollt-
ical affairs. He has been the OBJECT OIL

~ REENSBORO, n. c., June 30
r The entire book dealing with the
~ sensational Warner litigation, save
the chapter containing divorce be-
tween FL. b. Warner and his wife, Mrs.
Florence C. Warner, was settled
Thursday afternoon, June %, to the
satisfa of all concerned, when the
attorneys representing the three par
ties interested, namely, H. B. Warner,
Mrs. Warner and Baxter McRary,
wealthy colored man, agreed upon the
conditions of the compromises, ana
signed the necessary papers to make
the agreements binding.
Proceedings Kept Secret
The suit of Warner against McRary
for 100000 is withdrawn. Mrs. Flor
ence C. Warner gets sum of money,
said to be about $4,000. The suit of
Fritts VS.. Walser is settled. Mrs. Var
ner is to go to her home in Utah and,
it is understood, she will enter suit
there for a divorce, which suit, it is
said, will not be opposed. The exact
provisions of the settlement of the
case are not known, the lawyers agree
ing among themselves to keep the
terms secret.
As to the innocence or guilt of Mrs.
Warner, the courts have not yet said,
and, rather than go through the Or
deal of another trial, and rather than
air the nauseating case again before
the public, all parties concerned de-
sired to effect a compromise.
Never before in the history of the
country have the people of both races
been so thoroughly aroused concerning
litigation as they were during the time
and Immediately following the trial of
the case in federal court in February
The trial lasted for ten days, and in it
over 100 witnesses testified. Clandes-
tine meetings, secret auto rides, love
notes, telephone conversations and
many other features disclosing the in
innate private life of Mrs. Warner and
McRary were aired and contested.
According to evidence presented,
McRary was found in the home of
Mrs. Warner one night last August.
Mr.. Warner was out of town at the
time. Immediately upon information
regarding the alleged intimate rela-
tions of his wife and McRary, Warner
brought suit against McRary for
100000 damages for alleged aliena-
tion of his wife's affections. In
counter-charge Mrs. Warner sued her
husband for $4,000 a year for reason
