Oil Well Puts Negro
In Millionaire Class

Corsicana, Texas, Feb. 16.-In
less than a month after the discov-
cry of large oil production in a deep
test well in the old shallow oil field
near here, Green Springfield, Ne
gro, finds himself a millionaire. He
came to Texas eight years ago from
Alabama and purchased tract of
$40 acres of land at low price.
This land is now found to be in the
heart of what promises to be one of
the big light crude oil fields of the
state.~. He sold one-half of his roy
atty interest in 100 acres to Blake
Smith and associates a few days ago
for $125,000 cash.
He has been offered 100000 for
all of his royalty interest in the re-
mainder of the land, but refused. as
he believes that the wells which are
to be drilled on the farm will bring
him more than that sum within a
short time.

and disclosed the fact that another
Negro" robber was in reality a
white man, for Bishop had blackened
his face with charcoal, put on over

oline filling stations of about $22
before he engaged in gun battle
with Lawrence w. Ferguson, chauf-
feur at the Sheffield police station.
The student was held in high esteem
by his relatives and friends, all of
whom were dumbfounded when the
news of the circumstances under which
Bishop met his death came to them.
Mrs. William H. Bishop, his mother,
looked down upon his charcoal-black-

there was a .32-caliber revolver, taken

Ferguson, wounded in the groin, is
in the General hospital and he declares
that Bishop fired first.
Only the bullet from Policeman Fer

American horror of lynching.
"Lynching now takes place in the
North as well as in the South-in
Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Dakota
as well as Texas, Georgia and A1issls-
sippi. White men are now lynched as
well as Negroes-in 1922, for example,
seven whites and fifty-three blacks
We're thus put to death Lynching, in
other words, is no longer sectional or
racial, but national; it is the great
American atrocity.
"As such, it is the supreme indict-
ment of our civilization. 1t is the tri-
umph of savagery in its most ugly and
brutal form. Therefore, 1 offer lynch
ing as the test of our society. So long
as this crime is practiced by some and
tolerated by all-so long as it is polit-
ically impossible to get a law through
Congress which will destroy it-so
long this nation is a barbarism, and
we ought to be ashamed to live. Only
when it is wiped out by an enlightened
and determined public opinion, can
America lay claim to civilization"

Gently, denouncing our people as citi-
zens, and an effort to arouse sympa-
thy among the whites of our city in of
fering the expression "That the Negro
constitutes permanent menace to the
advancement and development of the
white race" we are pleased to pub
lish the following from 'The Messen-
ger of Feb. 16-a paper pretending to
be dedicated to the interests of the
taxpaying public
"On Monday last at a regular meet
ing of the Capitol Hill Improvement
Association, strong support was evr-
denced for a state segregation law.
The Negro was not without friends at
that meeting. At least three speakers
insisted that he must be given fair
play.
MISS ARGYLE HESSER warned
the audience that the Negro was re-
sentful at the discrimination he was
forced to endure. She claimed to have
studied the problem of the Negro for
a number of years and insisted that he
was the mental equal of the white and
was being goaded into dangerous
frame of mind which might result in
race war unless caution was used in
handling him. mo scientist dare say
that the Negro is naturally inferior to
the white" she stated. There is
boundless proof to show that all the
handicap he has is his color. Under
the constitution he is granted equal
rights with all men in this country, but
he does not receive his due and he is
sure to rise up and rebel against the
injustice of it ALL"
We think the above beneficial to

THE NATION MUST PUNISH
LYNCHERS.

When the miners tried for the muir
day. their lawyer commented that the
mine guards had terrorzed the com
munity and the strikers rose in right
eous wrath. He gave the blanket ex-
cuse that is given for every mob that
kills. Murder under any name, done
for any excuse, is the same. Murder
is murder regardless of who the muir
derers are and of who their victims
are This means mobs as much as in
dividuals.
A mob in Harrison, Ark, kills rail
road striker That is murder, though
the killers think themselves public
spirited vigilantes. A mob in Loursi-
ana tOrtures two men in cotton press
and kills them. That is murder though
the murderers wear silly regalia and
call themselves high spirited patriots,
and heaven knows what else.
Our comomnest type of mob murder
is called lynching. But Harrison, Mer
Rouge, Herrin, the burnings of Negroes
mt the stake, are all off the same piece
Call them murders and have done with
it.
1t is almost foregone conclusion
that members of a numbering mob IN
small community will be acquitted as
We're the Herrin miners. The defend
ants have much local sympathy. a
jury that would convict can scarcely
be had. A local prosecutor who will
do his duty whole-heartedly must be
one of singular courage and integrity.
If we hope to stop mob murders and
punish the murdeEers, we shall have to
act as a nation. There will have to be
a federal law, so drawn as to cover
mob murders of all types, and to pro-
vide that cases resulting shall be for
federal prosecution in federal courts.

eran of the late war.
Vice President Coolidge declared
that the Negro's record has Justified
the faith of Abraham Lincoln" He
spoke in part as follows:
ssIn the less than seventy years that
the Negro race in America have been
in the enjoyment of freedom, they
have made marvellous progress That
progress is shown, not only in the
property which they have acquired,
not only in the talent which they have
exhibited in the arts, not only in the
professions of the law and medicine,
of the ministry, of teaching, or yet in
the administration of business AFFAIRS,
all of which have been very great, but
most of all in the honest, Industrious
way in which the great body of their
people have performed the plain every
day duties of life. Their greatest con-
tribution lies in the fact that they have
helped to do the work of the nation.
Loyalty Unsurpassed.
"When the call came in time of war,
they were ready and desirous to re-
spond More than two and one-quarter
millions of them We're registered un-
der the selective draft. They were
more anxious to enlist than they were
to evade any service for their coun-
try. In spite of every deceptioA or
temptation to which public enemies
artfully subjected them, they exhibit
ed a loyalty and devotion to the cause
of America which was unsurpassed.
Nearly 100000 of them went into mill
tary service. The 92nd division was
composed exclusively of Negro troops.
They had $50 commissioned officers
especially trained at Fort Des Moines.
They furnished 100 Medical Reserve
Officers, while the total of their COM
missioned officers reached about 1,20O
in number.
"They were brave and courageous
in the face of the enemy. Their total
casualties were approximately 103 Of
ficers and 1,543 enlisted men,
of whom six officers and 203 en-
listed men were killed in action.
The high character of their
service is shown by the fact that four
teen officers and forty-three men re-
ceived the Distinguished Service Cross,
while the First Battalion of the 367th
Infantry and the 369th Infantry were
awarded the Croix de Guerre by the
French. 1t was not merely their sol
diers in the field, but their citizens in

the success of the allied armies. More
than that, they gave generously of
their resources, purchasing the secur-
tiles of the government, and contribut-
ing to the Red Cross and other war
charities. Their patriotism shone forth
in every field of action.
"They had the commendation of the
secretary of war, General PerShing
and former President Roosevelt. Brig
adler General Sherburne of Massachu-
setts, who trained and commanded
some of the Negro artillery, gave me
this statement Tuskegee, during the
war, furnished to the cOlored artillery
regiments some of the finest troops in
France. In technical excellence they
were unsurpassed. They developed
wireless and telephone communication
effectively and showed marked ability
in the technical lines of artillery.
President Motion himself saw the work
of the colored artillery and the de-
struction wrought by it. That is high
praise from man who knew. For the
service of the Negro race at home and
abroad during the war they have the
everlasting gratitude of the American
people. They have justified the faith
of Abraham Lincoln.
Have a Broader Outlook.
"Returning home, in common with
their comrades, they resumed their
peacetime occupations. Like other
Americans, they have as a result of
their experience a firmer patriotism,
and like the other peoples of the earth,
they are in the enjoyment of a great
freedom.
Together we are working out, in
theory and in practice, that hope of
Washington and Lincoln. 1t is a long,
slow, toilsome, and laborious process,
pointments and delays, but in the pro-
gress which has been made there is
every reason for encouragement and
satisfaction.
severance to put into practice our the
DRY of human rights. Lincoln knew
that. If there was one virtue that he
seemed to possess more than another.
it was that of forbearance. 1t is well
for us, who must live together as
Americans, whatever our race or creed
may be, constantly to remember his
words, we are not enemies, but
friends We must not be enemfes.'
Those who stir animosities, those who
create any kind of hatred and enmity
are not ministering to the public well
fare. We have come out of the war
with a desire and a determination to
live at peace with all the world. Out
of common suffering and common
sacrifice there came new meaning to
our common citizenship. Our greatest
need is to live in harmony, in friend
ship, and in good will, not seeking an
advantage over each other, but all try
ing to serve each other. In that spirit
let us dedicate this hospital and dedi-
cate ourselves to the service of our
country. To do that wisely, patiently,
tolerantly, is to show by the discharge
OF our duties our indisputable title to
fellow citizenship with Abraham Lin
coln."
