corner of 10th and Champa street,
with the Rt. Rev. Bishop Carey at his
side, Rev. A Wayman Ward, pastor OF
Shorter A. NJ. e. church and one of
the leading Race men of the west was
the victim of brutal and uncalled for
assault Tuesday night just as the cleo

haps the nature of the returns were
such as to give heart to the thug VINO

filiation by a cowardly attack upon
worthy citizen. Rev. Ward while
painfully injured views the matter as
the truly christian gentleman that he

CHURCH
23rd Ave. and Washington st.
Rev. Coyden n. Uggams, D. D.

The services of last Sunday were
above normal in attendance, business
and deep enthusiasm. The Sunday
School was very prominent in these
features and in the glad welcome of
several visitors.
Our pastor preached two excellent
sermons on "Our Duty in Every Crisis"
and THE Universal Reign of Chris
tianity'' Before each sermon he
briefly remarked upon the approaching
mayoralty election and impartially adj
vised the people concerning their
duties to exercise the ballot, 10 be
free from the government of any racial
prejudice and TO exercise their suf-
frage for civic righteousness accord
ing to their own honest convictions.
The friends are still reporting their
financial contributions to the rally of
Aug. 3, for which we are exceedingly
thankful. Such beautiful co-opera-
tive spirit should always characterize
our dispositions for we, all, are
brethern in Christ.
We are glad to see Mrs. Bessie
Hughes sufficiently recovered TO be
able to direct the affairs of our mid
Summer Bazaar"
The church is happy to know that
Mrs. NJ. Dawson, one of its most loyal
members is steadily convalescing Mrs.
Dawson, who spends each summer on
her ranch at Keeline, Wyo., in com
pany with her daughter, was thrown
from a buggy in a runaway accident

STATE MEETING OF COLORED
REPUBLICANS LARGELY
ATTENDED
Geo. w. Gross of Denver Elected
President.

The Coolidge and Dawes ratifica-
ton meeting and barbecue given at
Colorado Springs last Monday by the
Ell Paso County Colored Republican
club was attended by large number
of party leaders from all over the
state. Pueblo was especially well rep
resented, its forces being strongly aug
mented by the attendance of the en-
tire ministerial alliance. In fact the
large number of prominent ministers
taking part in the proceedings would
suggest a new line of political action
on the part of Colorado's Negro citi-
zens. The free barbecue served at
noon was well arranged and proved
ample for all. Following the dinner a
pavilion at 3 o'clock with William
Bell presiding.
A state organization was formed
with George w. Gross of Denver Sc
lected as president. Other officers
were: Mrs. Lille Burton Denver, vice
president Rev. NJ. NJ. Perding of Pu-
eblo, secretary; l.. L. Duncan, Colo
RADIO Springs, treasurer. The presi-
dent was empowered to appoint an ex
ecutive committee consisting of two
persons, man and woman from each
county where there is colored vote.

whom large number attended this
meeting, We're organized into Repub-
lican federation at the instance of

SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.

The highest outstanding honor be-
longing to our race is that of the
Bishopric. That we have achieved this
place through undisputed merit and
hold it with credit before the races
and religions of the world is not to
be gainsaid The visit of a Negro
Bishop into any community is always
an opportunity to feel the inspiration
of a God given leader Denver is to
have this opportunity this week.
Bishop Archibald James Carey, u. D.,
the newly assigned Bishop over this
Fifth District of the African Methodist
church is our guest. He is making
his first official visit to this section.
He breaches at Shorter Chapel at
lO:45 Sunday morning and at Camp
bell Chapel on Sunday evening. These
services will give all an opportunity
to hear the soul stirring message
which comes from his soul to lis OVID
people. Bishop Carey is undoubtedly
the strongest influence which the
church has today in the matters of
general interest to ou~ race in this
country. He has just returned from
both national Republican and Demo
cratic conventions where lie headed IL
race commission under auspices oi the
African Methodist church LAYING the
pleas and desires of fifteen million
Negro Americans before these two
great parties. 1t is really Il privilege
to know Bishop Carey, as it is IL
privilege TO know Theodore Roosevelt,
w. E. Sweet, o. H. Shoup, L. C.
Phipps, and Calvin Coolidge. Bishop
Carey will be in the State for ten
| days visiting the various churches md

youngest son, Archibald James, Jr.,

himself and race by winning the inter
state oratorical prize of 100000 of
fered by the combined states of III
inois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa
This contest was limited to high school
seniors only, and there were more
than $4,000 contestants. Young Carey
was the only Negro who waded
through the various contests and sue
ceeded in getting into the finals, where
he stood undisputed master of the sit
uation. AS a special tribute to him,
the combined Illinois State Bar Asso-
Citations banquetted him before q
specially called session at Terre Haute-
Ind, and this despite the fact that
Terre Haute is the hot-bed of the
X. X. X.

The following, under date OF Jan. Is,
1924, has been received from Mr.. Geo.
l. Gardiner, manager of the Maryland
Tobacco Growers Association
"HCn. f. Stone Posey,
La Plata, Md.
Dear Mr.. Posey
l wish TO thank you in the interest OF
die people of Southern Maryland for
the allie and most valuable editorial
you have in the Maryland INDEPEND-
EMIT, If all county newspapers would
do as you have done. on your own ac-
count, give editorials from time TO
time, relative to the Tobacco Growers
Association, it would be wonderful
help, and nothing does so much good
as the support of representative men
through the press, like yourself.
Every farmer in Southern Maryland
should take these county papers, as
they are from time to time carrying
more news relative to their problems,
and | am sure you understand that for
US TO do much publicity in an individ-
ual way is very expensive work, and
Endorsement from others than those
directly connected with the Associa-
ton, is more valuable to the Associa-
tion.
Again thanking'you for your repre-
sentation, which l assure you is great
ly appreciated by u.s. we are, with best
wishes,
Yours very truly,
GEO. ]. GARDINER,
Manager.

Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation Is Prospecting

One Of the features Of the recent con-
vention OF the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation was meeting OF the To-
bacco Growers Association Ia the
Southern Hotel. Reports OF the officers
showed the Association 70 be function
ing most excellently under rather I'M
favorable conditions, and les finances
in better shape than they have ever
been. Representatives OF several com
mission houses attended the gathering,
and the value OF the organization to
the tobacco farmers of Maryland is
now undisputed by both its friends
and Its enemies.
At a subsequent meeting OF the Dr.
rectors which the writer with others
was invited to attend, IL was. clearly
demonstrated that the association is
being very wisely. managed, and
that the manager, Mr.. Gardiner, and
the board as 3 whole are deserving OF
the highest degree of confidence on the
part OF the growers. Twas made clear
that the value OF the organization TO
farmers could easily be doubled If the
Association could get control oil So per
cent of the crop. Ii was made very
evident that any complaints that the
association is not doing as we'll rs IL
should, might well be directed against
tho people who refuse to cooperate in
making the concern a success. How
ever, much progress is being made,
and the plans OF the directing board,
which will be published later on, pro-
vide for greater service to the MEM
bers than has ever been rendered be-
fore. The record for the past year
showed 1904 new members and only 4
designations.
During the present year 1t is planned
to locate at convenient centers in the
tobacco-growing area, prizes, hoops
and slaves, so that these desiring to
ship direct to the association and lack
ing the facilities for SO doing may be
enabled to do so.
