GRAND RAPIDS HERALD DE-
N0UNCES LYNCHING.
(By The Associated Negro Press.)

(By The Associated Negro PreSS.)
Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 6.--That
the country is thoroughly aroused
against the evil of lynching, is evil
dent by the ringing editorials that
appear in the daily press, of which
the Grand Rapids Herald is an eX-
ample:
Down at Wise, Va, they have
sheriff who might well be held
up as model for other public safe
ty officials of the country.
In the Jail at Wise is Negro
named Williams, charged with as
sault and robbery of an aged man.
On Saturday a mob stormed the Jail
and attempted to take Williams from
.he authorities The mob was ugly
and OF no mean proportions. Other
sheriffs might have opened the doors
tO the Jail, or uncerimoniously set
Williams on The front porch to the
would-be lynchers. But not Sheriff
Corder
In the first attack upon the Jail
one man said to have been the lead
er of tin mob, was killed by the de-
tenders; and the enraged storming
party was repealed. Later the Sherln
mounted a machine gun on the steps
of the Jail and ordered his men to
Shoot to kill' if further attacks
were made.
"Of course, the lives of the mem
Der of the mob were undoubtedly
more valuable to society than the
| life of the miserable criminal whom
the sheriff protected. But the sheriff
is placed in Office to uphold the law,
The law says tnat this Negro shall
have a fair trial. The law denies
to the people the right to summary
punishment of an accused man.
Sheriff Corder may have lost the
vote of every man in the mob thet
stormed .he Jail, but in doing so he
strengthened the fiber of American
government by determinedly battling
the baue Of democracy in the SOUTH
1 ern states---lynch law"

DERIVING the shortness OF the lives
of the boys and girls? 1t may be
you are 200 busy with something else
to give this health and longer life
tenure the proper consideration. Sta
tistics show that more Colored
people die in America than any 9TH
err country in the world from GER
tain diseases except four countries
in Europe. Among the white people,
life tenure is increasing among the
native born, and that fewer white
persons die in youth than formerly.
Why can This not be said of our boys
and girls? There is reason. Our
boys and girls need to enter the lee
ture room, day for boys and a
day for girls, in which each is to be
talked to in no uncertain terms,
We want a vigorous manhood and
a vigorous womanhood. and child
hood is the starting point, and this
vigor is to be continued through
youth to maturity. If YOU wish to
live three score years and zen, seek
the wisdom of the mother who has
made the score, and she will gladly
relate her success in the long time
of her life tenure. We hold in our
own hands the length Of our lives.
Did you know thai? We either short
en- our lives or we lengthen them
out, which are you doing, boys and
girls? Let us live long by learning
the secret of life.

PROGRAM IN RICHMOND.

BY The Associated Negro Press.)
Richmond, Va, Jan. 6,The Loril-
lard Colored Chorus sang songs of
the "old plantation" az the City Aud2-

at many different functions held in
the city, and they have achieved a
reputation for their excellent por-

The last event at which these singers
entertained was the reception in
honor of Robert Georges Nivelle, the
French hero of Verdun.
An interesting incident in connec-
ton with the Lorillard Chorus was
the visit of Billy Sunday and his
wife, and Homer Rhodeheaver of the
company. Mr.. Rodeheayer sang one
of his melodies in the stemm lg-room,
where about 500 Colored people are
employed. AS he reached the chorus

Dear Sir:
Please allow space in the columns
Of your great paper to add to a
statement made in your issue of
December rs, 1920, under heading
New Girls Dormitory accepted
design to be erected on campus of
Paul Quinn College at an approx
mate cost of One hundred Fifty
thousand dollars 150,000.00)" The
article states 1.-THE acceptance Of the
plans Of architect w. Sidney Pitt
man marks the beginning of the end
of an effort to place modern dormi-
tory upon the campus of Paul Quinn
College which was begun more than
six years ago under Bishop G. S.
Smith.
The records will show that under
Bishop Smiths administration Paul
Quinn College was freed of mort
gage debt, and made 1t possible for
teachers to be paid in full on cur
rent salaries. improvements made
on building, then on campus, sani-
tary system installed in the present
Girls Dormitory, and the business
of the college put on better basis.
Bishop Smith is loved and greatly
admired by Texas, not only for the
splendid achievements of his adj
ministration while Bishop of the
Tenth Episcopal District, but for his
great service rendered the church
and the race during his career as
a public servant. Bishop Smith
cleared the way and did speak of
the need of first class buildings and
equipments which was apparent to
all.
Bishop Joshua A. Jones took the
first definite step toward the cree
ton of the now proposed Girls Dor
mitory. Taking up where Bishop
Smith left off he cleared the Col
lege of about ten thousand (s10,-
000) current debts, paid back sal
aries of teachers and purchases and
paid for two acres of ground on a
cost of five thousand five hundred
(s5,500.00) adjoining the campus

Alaskan Volcanic Fires.

At q recent meeting of the American
Society for the Advancement Of Sci
ence, DR.. Robert F. Griggs described
n fiery flood which occurred in Alaska
In the VALLEY of Ten Thousand
Smokes" Here he found traces of the
food of fire which, issuing from a fis-
sure in the earth, swept roaring tor
rent of molten sand through the fertile
valley, devastating all in its path for
a distance of more than fifteen miles.
From thousands of assures live
steam, heated gas and smoke issued.
One could do ones cooking in any Of
the smaller holes. And that was the
only salvation of the expedition, for
all fuel had been destroyed by the
flood of fire. 1t is only a few steps
from the steaming assures to cave In
the side of the glacier, in order to have
the most perfect refrigeration in the
world.
The explorers tents were steam
heated, as it were, and the bathing con-
ditiOnS were of the best, for a stream
from the glacier fed a crystal pure
lake. In the middle of this lake a
steam jet dubbed, and 1t was possible
to get any desired temperature.

BANKING HAS ITS ROMANCE
Quiet Spot in London Where Monetary
Transactions of Immense lmpor-
lance Are Ordinary.

Romance is hidden away in all
kinds of old corners of the city OF
London, and some Of it is to be found
within half a minutes walk of the
vortex of traffic outside the Mansion
house, London Tit-Bits states.
Here, in a secluded building that few
persons ever see, is the beating heart
of one of the greatest rOmanceS in the
wOrld-the romance of banking.
In and out of this almost unknown
building flows, minute by minute, the
life stream of the trade and commerce
of the land. Last year the almost in
credible river of thirty-nine thousand
million pounds passed in at one door
and out by the other.
1t is not the Bank of England that
pulses with this current of fabulous
wealth, but it is the London clearing
house, that nestles in corner of POST
Office court, tucked away in the wedge
of buildings between Lombard street
and King William street, with an in
surance building hiding it at one side
and LubbOcks bank at the other.
Every time one of its doors, marked
"Private-In" and "Private-Out,
swings a fortune goes in or comes out
an average of Ely, 512, 200 a day
last year.
The river consists not of silver OF
gold, but of pieces of paper-"bills,
| checks and so On"-and ii is carried
by messengers from the banks. Each
bank associated with the clearing
house has its own desk in the build
ing.
Year by year the river increases
In 1868 it topped three thousand mil
lions. BY 1908 it was over twelve
thousand millions. In 1913 it rose Il
more than sixteen thousand millions
The second year of the war saw il
down by a trifie of three thousand
millions. Since then 1t has leaped VI
each year.
Now its volume is so great that tho
clearing house has to find more room
and the Standard Life Assurance com
pany's offices, facing King William
street, have been bought for f3OO,OOC
Part of the building has for some tim
been annexed to the clearing house
Now the whole is to be taken In.
