NOTED LAW CASE WON BY
ATTORNEY WALTER N.
FARMER.

One of the most remarkable cases
tried in the courts of Illinois has just
been successfully concluded by At
torney Walter NJ. Farmer, with an
award of $4,000. In March, 1919
Isaiah Hardiman was employed By
Wilson & Company at the stock
yards. As he was leaving work al
I:3O a. m on the 10Th day of March
ne was accosted at the gates of the
yard by two policemen who were also
employed by Wilson & Company,
and as they began to search him, he
broke and ran. The officers testified
at the trial that they commanded him
TO halt but that he continued to run,
whereupon they fired at first in the air
and then at him, the ball hitting him in
the lower left back, perforating his
intestines and from which he died
a few days thereafter The officers
further testified that two cartons of
lard were found in his coat and that
he had stolen them and was attempt
ing to get away when he was shot
No other person saw the shooting so
that the testimony of the officers was
all the evidence offered at the trial.
Attorney Walter NJ. Farmer, repre-.
senting the estate of Isaiah Hardiman.
had no evidence whatever, but had to
rely solely upon the testimony of the
officers. After hearing the testimony
of the officers, Mr. Farmer contended
that no crime had been established,
it not having been proven that Hardi-
man stole anything or that Wilson
& Company had lost anything. That
the testimony of the officers did not
prove Hardiman guilty of crime or
in legal parlance, the corpus deficit
had not been proven. That the COM
pany not proving a crime were liable
for the death of Hardiman. The In
dustrial Board decided with Wilson

Judge Floyd E. Thompson, Of Rock
Island, is candidate for reelection

people before his elevation to the
Supreme Court bench, and since his
election he has known no man by the
color of his skin. His decisions have
been uniformly based on the law, free
from bias or race prejudice.
Our people residing in his judicial
circuit should go to the polls next
Monday and vote as a unit for the re-

colored lawyer speaks highly of him
and they should know whether he has
been fair to our people.

Wichita, Kansas.-The death OF
Prof N. NJ. Rogers, of Dallas, Texas
takes from us one of the most active
and aggressive men in the race. One

no more, and then it will be said
'The Lord hath given him, the Lord
hath taken him away, blessed be the
name. of the Lord" While l am
better, am far from being well, and
have placed myself under DR.. George
c. Hall, of Chicago, who is going to
try to keep me out of heaven just a
little longer.

to you last week, and / am still on

President Warren G. Harding has
appointed Perry w. Howard, Of
Jackson, Miss, to a position in the
Department of Justice, and want to
congratulate him on the selection of
a good man, and one who will render
service to the people. Mr.. Howard
is a real lawyer and will attend
strictly to business. 1t was wise in
making this selection, and / approve
of II. We have now three men, Phil
Brown, Perry w. Howard, and one
man by the name of F1ipper, and !
am keeping my eyes open to see some
other things. ! tried to write my
fool brains out trying to tell the
people to vote for Senator Warren G.
Harding, and he was elected. Now
that he is President of the United
States, ! am anxious to see what he
is going to do. / have no particular
favor to ask for myself, but l GER
tainly want to see those who voted
for him get a fair deal There will
be another election day, and we want
to be able to say that all We thought
of the President was true and right,
and we will support the next one, if
it happens to be Harding himself.
But this week l have just few
things to say to you about the affairs
of this country, about the people and
what they are doing. 1t seems that
the whole country has turned atten-
ton to listening to beautifully con-
structed sentences. Every period and
comma, colon and semi-colon just
where they belong, and other marks
are receiving attention.
You see this is commencement
time, and believe me when / tell you
our schools are turning out some
men. l have told you about being
at the Simmons University. in Louis
vile, KY, and they had some exer-
cises there. l just felt lifted up, and
want to make a place for all who
received their diplomas from that
great Kentucky school, but it is i'm
possible. They will have to peg away.
They will learn by experience that it
is not all in their heads, and there
is room for more or rooms for rent,
and hope they will soon find tenants
for them.
Of course we have made wonderful
progress, and it is nothing to what it
is going to be. Getting over this
world has caused me to open my blue
eyes and look with wonder on the

found things lively. One preacher
had fallen in love with a beautiiui
woman. His wife had grown little
wrinkled in the face, and he desired
to get rid of her, but she was not
ready for the question, and thereby
was some little fun. He tried to ship
her home that he might have smooth
sailing with his young sweetie, but in
this he failed, and next came to the
church, and a vote was had and de-
elared him out. The head deacon OF
the church declared:

gated in me as deacon, now declare

we owe you. You may go to the

A little time was spent in company
with one of the next bishops of the
African Methodist Episcopal church,
the Rev. DR.. Charles Sumner VIII

who is doing things in that mans
town. Wonderful young man, and /
am proud of him and what he is

Then l beat it to Chicago, where
things are in good shape, and men
are doing things there.
In Chicago l put myself under the
charge of DR.. George Cleveland Hall,
one of the greatest physicians and
surgeons in this country, and a man
who knows the human body just as
you know your own name. This
young man has worked from the
ground up. He started out as a bell
boy at the Grand Pacific hotel, and
step by step he went to the top of
the ladder of fame. They say

l agree with them. I am making
some progress and getting rid of the
germs, putting them under my feet

special nurse for me, and l wish you

Anderson, s. O., June 4 4-"Not
in the history of diplomatic rea-
tons has any man so sIandered the
American Nation and people as
the present ambassador to the
court Of ST. James when he recent
ly said in London that America
entered the war not to save bleed
ing Europe aud the world for de-
mocracy, but to save her own in
terests," declared former Secretary
of the Navy Daniels IN addressing

ut is a slander aimed at every
American mother who sacrificed

continued. "And my heart is glad

HOME AGENT HELPS
CLEAN UP TOWN

The people of cambridge know
now, or at least they should, what
a home demonstration club can do
in the way of cleaning up town.
At meeting of the club early in
the spring plans that had been Use
ed to a good advantage in other
towns were discussed and the wom-
en- of the club decided to give their
town spring cleaning, according
to Miss Tilda Adsmond, home
demonstration agent in Jefferson
County. Her report of the work
is as follows:
ga committee consisting of the
officers of the club was appointed
to supervise the work and the town
was divided into five sections. A
vice chairman was appointed for
each section, her duty being to see
that her section was taken care of.
"Vacant lots and other unsightlv
places were cleaned, flowers plant
ed, trees trimmed and whitewash
applied wherever needed. The
town has a special fund for special
work on the streets and the county
trucks were used for hauling away
rubbish.
"The work has only begun, the
vice chairman being appointed to
look after their sections for one
year. We now have plans for trash
cans, small parks on vacant lots, a
library and a number of the i'm
provements. Flies are swatted
right and left. Keeping account
of the number they kill seems to
appeal to the children. The clean
up spirit seems to be speading far
and wide. 1t has many in the ru-
raj sections. Two towns in the
county have taken up the clean up
our town project. Our town is
going into it rather extensively"
