Wave of Blindness Follows Moonshine

AN epidenmc of blindness and
paralysis is towering over many cities, y
is the warning sounded by Commits
sioner K. A. Haynes. That fate is
awaiting persons who are drinking de-
naturcd alcohol which has been colored
and is being peddled by bootleggers.
irresponsible dealers get rid OF
barrels upon barrels OF denatured
alcohol to bootleggers. Owing to the
fact that this alcohol has been doctored
with action, poisonous chemical, to
make it unfit Tor beverage, and is being
sold as whiskcy by bootleggers means
that an epidemic OF blindness and
paralysis will shortly descend over the
country.
This alcohol contains aceton. The
bootleggers buy it and then attempt
TO extract the action They are not
successful and to offset the taste OF
the poison they pour extracts into the
alcohol so that the taste of the poison
is killed.
We have located many agents sell
ing this extract. The extract costs 40
cents a pint to make, and IS sold to
the bootleggcrs Tor $1,000 a pint. One
pint will color and camouflage twenty
gallons.
"Thcre is no question but that the
drinking OF this stuff will result in
blindness and paralysis. The more we
tighten up on the whiskey Withdrawals
the more dangerous this condition will
become At the present time we can
do nothing more than warn the public
about this poison that is flooding the
country"

New Bank To
Be Second
Emancipation

A second emancipation is forecast by
p. w. Chavers with the opening OF the
Douglass National Bank, 32Ol South
State Street, Of which he IS president
The institution, which is to open its
doors with the new year, is the first
national bank operated by colored peo-
pie ever chartered by the federal gov
eminent.
Lincoln gave the colored man po-
litical emancipation" said Mr.. Chavers
today, but nobody can give HIM eco
nomic emancipation. He must win thai,
for himself by thrift, honesty and good
judgment. He has been preyed upon
and exploited by every sort OF stock
swndler, scheme promoter and conn
dence man in the country. No man
can tell him whom to trust or whom to
suspect; he must use his intelligence
in finding men who are trustworthy
Then he must help his brothers by
being trustworthy himself

Followed One Bank Failure

When Mr.. Chavers came to Chicago
from Columbus in 1917 the district was
in the throes OF a private bank failure.
Friends advised him to wait until the
sen alton had blown over. He told of
meeting small newsboy whose saw
ings were in the bank which had just
collapsed.
My aunt said it served me right,
said the boy. She said she would
have a colored preacher and colored
doctor, but no colored man could ever
handle her money"
Mr.. Chayers went before Judge Nc
Goorty, who had charge of the receiv-
ership, and took upon himself the $780,
600 Liabilities OF the Voolfolk bank He
agreed to pay off the debts OF the for
mer institution at the rate OF 10 per
cent each year. Then he obtained the
backing OF Oliver +. Smith, president
OF the Citizens Trust Company, and
Congressman Martin B. Madden.
The charter for a national bank was
obtained only alter struggle and Mr..
Chavcrs finally went to Washington in
person to get the proper papers.

Just to give one example of the
possibility of new alliances is shown
by the fact that four southern in
stitutions within the last few DAYS
nave made propositions to Maryland
for foot ball games and the College
Park team never has met any of
them. Kentucky. Alabama and Mis-
sissippi made offers Of two-year con-
tracts. and Georgia. Tech wanted
Maryland to make the trip to Atlanta

Kentucky or Alabama. the only diff

Another New Alliance.
Another new foot ball alliance that
may be formed is between North
Carolina and Georgia. Down at At
lanta last week these schools dis
cussed the possibility of a game and
agreed tentatively on date. subject
to Georgia's getting another team to
make a change. North Carolina State
has scheduled a game at Atlanta with
Georgia Tech. the two being listed to

The formation of the conference is
responsible for the resumption of
foot ball relationships between Vir-
ginia and Washington and Lee. and
it generally is thought that Char
lottesville is beginning to think IA
vorably of again playing Virginia

Georgia have signed a contract for
games to extend over a period of five
years.
Teams in this conference are plan
ming to take long trips in base ball

within two years all will cover almost
the entire conference territory. Next
