HE BROKE MONTE CARLO

PARIS-Charles Deville Wells, the

wherever the English language was
spoken in the early nineties, died in
Paris recently in such abject poverty
that his death passed unnoticed until
more than month afterward. He
was eighty-one years old.
Wells, after a record run of luck at
Monte Carlo, soon became a bank
rupt. He had many other vicissitudes,
including several terms in jails and
penitentiaries in England and France
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He used to blossom out with
many get-rich-quiek schemes. One
of them was system whereby he

FULL COMPREHENSION OF
BIBLE TEACHING WILL
STOP LYNcHING EVIL
preston News service)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 15-The
professed Christian white people Of
the South claim they are bitterly op-
posed to lynching, and ascribe the
cause of the numerous outrages in the
South and elsewhere in this country
to the almost wholesale disregard for
the principles laid down in the bible.
The Presbyterian, in discussing he
lynching evil says,-in part:
Instead of implying that such evils
are endorsed by Southern Christian
people, it would be better to inquire
into the cause and cure of the evil
"If there was prevailing among the
people Of our age a knowledge and
reverence for the Bible as the Word
of God and rule of life, both for
this world and the world to come, to-
gether with a sense of responsibility
for obedience unto this rule of God, it
would go far toward the correction of
this evil and similar evils. Sad to
say, many writer's and speakers who
deal with these social evils are seek
ing by appeal to scientific advantage
and to common utility as the means
of educating the people out of this
social degradation. The trouble in
the case is not the lack of knowledge,
but the lack of motive. More inform
alton will not correct any of these so
cial threatenings. The need is for
more conscience, and that can be
awakened only by a keener sense of
Gods requirements. These require
ments are revealed in the Word Of
God, and especially in the moral law.
But many of these humanitarian
writer's reject Gods Word and Gods
law, and encourage others to do like
wise. Consequently, there is a low
state of responsibility among the peo-
pie, and this brood of cruelty, impur-
ity, lynching, general murder, personal
unfaithfulness, and other like evils,
grow apace The modern cultured
nationalist in his rejection of the Word
and Law of God is doing more to
break down the social life and in
crease the crime of our times than
any other influence. We must get the
people back to the Bible and submits
sion thereunto, or these evils will
wax worse and worse until there is a
fatal collapse"

SENATOBIA, Miss, Sept .15-The
entire congregation of the First Bap-
tist church here was arrested last
Thursday in an effort to learn the
identity of the parties who murdered
Andrew Johnson, church treasurer,
whose body was found near his home
late Wednesday,
Three hundred dollars OF the church
funds had been turned over to him on
Tuesday night AS soon as the bank
opened on Wednesday morning john
son deposited the money Wednesday
evening he went down to the stable,
which is some distance from his home,
to feed his mule, and never returned.
Johnson's body was found on
Thursday morning, his head crushed
and a bloody piece of plank found
near the body. His pockets had been
searched by the murderers in looking
for the money.
County officers express the belief
that robbery was the motive for the
crime, and report that many different
size tracks of both men and women
were found in the barn yard where
Johnson was killed.
His pockets had been turned inside
out and 80 cents he was known to
have had in his possession was miss
ing
The arrest of the entire congrega-
ton was decided upon by the officers
because of the fact that only members
of the church were supposed to have
had knowledge of the money deliv-
cred to Johnson. His stepson has
also been arrested, but so far no proof
of any consequence has developed
against him.

DR.. SHIRLEY SPENT
BUSY SEVEN WEEKS
VACATION in EAST

DR.. Frank E. Shirley returned on
Mvnday morning from a seven-weeks
vacation, taken pa.tly for pleasure
and partly for business. The primary
object of the trip vas to attend the
national contention Of ehiropodists at
Chicago. But he started some time in
advance of that meeting to visit his
mother, who lives in small village
near Memphis
He went directly from Memphis to
Chicago, and at the close of the con-
vention he went to Washington, where
he met Senator Cameron, through
whose good offices he met the presi-
dent and was admitted to several
sessions Of the senate and one joint
meeting of both houses.
After that he spent a short time in
Atlantic City and New York. He
also visited Boston, and from Bost5
he travelled by boat to Yarmouth, N.
s. He had an enjoyable visit there.
He returned to Boston by the Fall
River line, and again visited New
York He saw Babe Ruth make his
twenty-seventh home run, and he
next day heard that he had been put
out of the game again.
DR.. Shirley paid Sc to see the Harry
Wills-Tutt Jackson argument. Con-
sidering the fact that it lasted only
three rounds, he figured that he had
got something less than his moneys
worth. But there was one thrilling in
cident. When the fight opened, Jack
son made a demonstration that inn
pressed the audience that he was go
ing to be serious contender. But
that impression quickly vanished when
Wills got into action. DR.. Shirley
was sitting $50 feet from the ring.
Notwithstanding the remoteness of
his position, he distinctly heard the
impact when Wills in the third round
put short-arm jab to Jackson's side.
A mule could not have made a louder
or more effective landing. Mr.. Shir-
ley was not surprised to read the next
morning that Jackson was in a hos
pital with two or three broken ribs.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept 15-Mar-
Gus Garvey, the potential potentate of

offices on Saturday last at the CON

palm of his hand, and that they would
e1thed refuse to accept his resigna-
tion, or accept it and Immediately re-
elect him with increased power and
authority, to the end that he could at
once dismiss the three members of
his cabinet" claimed by him to be
disloyal and Objectionable.
In this, however, Garvey was mis-
taken. He only had nine delegates on
the convention floor favorable to him,
and after the resignation was sub
mitted by Garvey to the convention,
he discovered by the action of the
delegates that he had lost control of
the convention. He then attempted
to withdraw it, but an overwhelming
majority of the delegates howled this
attempted withdrawal down and de-
manded a vote. Garvey, by shrewd
parliamentary tactics (he being the
presiding officer by proxy delayed
the vote by wrangling speeches for
two hours, but finally vote was
forced and GarYey's resignation was

AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS
(Preston News seryicel


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept 15-Dr
Elias C. Morris, aged 81 years, died
here Tuesday morning at the home of
his son, F. D. Morris, and his body
laid in state from 4 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon until o'clock Thurs
day afternoon in the chapel of the
Arkansas Baptist College.
Dr. Morris had been in failing
health for the past year. He became
seriously ill during the session of the
state convention in Hot Springs last
November and never fully recovered
He has served his race in many ways,
and always maintained the highest re-
spect of both races through Arkan-
sas, and was especially active with
all race movements in Helena for the
past 4S years.
He was regarded as one of the
foremost leaders of the race, always
sane, conservative and practical. His
aim was to make friends, and he made
them on all occasions He made many
staunch friends among the leading
white people throughout the country.
Dr. Morris served the National Con-
vention of the Baptist Church, said to
be the largest religious organization
in the world, with following of more

100000 BUILDING
SOON TO BE ERECTED
AT WILBERFORCE
preston News service)


WILBERFORCE, O., Sept. 15-The
contract for the erection of a new
Shorter Hall on the site of the old
building erected 81 years ago, and
burned down last winter, has been
awarded to D. w. McGrath G Sons,
who have been working on the new
structure for the past three months.
The building is completed up to the
second story, and 1t is expected that
the workmen will reach the third story
by Thanksgiving, if the work is not
hindered for lack of finances.
In statement issued by Bishop
Joshua H. Jones, Chairman Of the
Trustee Board, he says: "The erec-
ton of the building will cost $SOO,000
1t is fire-proof structure, built Of
brick, stone and Steel Modern in
every respect, it will be- five-story
structure and will contain offices for
the university executives, rs class
rooms, commodious music and science
departments, dining hall with seating
capacity of 1000, an auditorium with
seating capacity of $500 and dormi-
tory for the accommodation of $50
girls. We expect to hold our next
commencement exercises in this
building.
ITO finance this great enterprise is
the biggest burden, all things consid-
cred, that has fallen to our race. We
have been building daily for the past
three months, at cost of $4,000 per
month, all labor and material to this
time paid for The building is now
above the first story and pressing
hard in the second floor.
Bishops Coppin, Conner and Heard
are my associates in this great task
have every reason to believe that
they will give the largest possible CO.
operation and sympathetic encourage
ment. About $4,000 of the money in
hand has been raised by the small
Third Episcopal district, and we are
neither daunted nor tired. We need
the aid of the whole connection and
need it Immediately. The trustees Of
Wilberforce University cover the
whole connection, which constitutes
the controlling body. Control and re-
sponsibility are correlatives, both NOR.
ally and economically, and the exer-
else of one predicates the exercise Of
the other. The assumption and exer-
else of control, while neglecting the
responsibility to support, is to be
scorned by every manly man. Control
without responsibility cancels the
right of control. BY inexorable law,
the whole church must help rebuild
Wilberforce. Will you do it? VIII
you repudiate duty?

General Officers, Ministers and Lay
men to send in their contributions at
once, so that the work on new Short
er Hall may not stop nor languish. We
beg that you not wait, nor delay In
making your personal sacrifice in
helping US prosecute this work to COM
pletion.
THE furnishings of the building will
require 100000 in addition to the cost
of erection. We are, therefore, ask
ing the church to roll up collection
of half million dollars for the plac-
ing of dear old Wilberforce at the
head Of the column in the educational
march of the race. We believe that
