lutely nothing to do with the affair.
Young Rhinelander refused to leave
his bride at first. but finally, he was
induced to submit to the parental
aCill and the lease for his apartments
where he lived with his bride, was
cancelled. The girl returned to him
ali of His presents. The Rhineland-
ers. in the name of the young hus-
band. brought suit for an annul-
ment of the marriage on the ground
that Miss Alice did not make known
to him that she he'd Negro blood in
hersveins.
The case promises to be sensation
al. AS for the average colored per-
son. no particular interest is ex-
pressed one way or the other. The
matter does not directly or indirectly
concern our type Of citizens. 1t bears
directly upon those Negro white folks
who have separated themselves from
our group upon the broad ground
that they have right to associate
and intermingle socially and other
wise With those white folks. who are
willing to- socially and otherwise nip
gle with them.
They have an antipathy to Negro
more so from having been an on
shoot of the Negro race than those
of the entirely white group and why
should they worry? We wish them
to remain with their white associates
and not embarrass us by further in
termingling and being on the dlvid'
ing line, where we are unable to de-
termine (which from tother". White
people Gin this neck Of the woods"
understand our position. We were
of the opinion that up in New York.
where everything goes, this rather
remarkable case would sink into
oblivion for want of attention.
That it has occasioned almost as
much comment as lit would have done
right here in Virginia is one OF the
anomalies of this life. Let the Rhine
landers and the Jones settle their
own matters without further publ
citv and let the colored folks in the
other part of the United States es'
recially in the Southland, have
well earned peace.

towards citizens of color. So far as
we have been able to observe. he
never bowed the knee to the Baar'

high ground in matters affecting the
fundamental rights Of mankind.
His declarations at the meeting OF
the American Federation at Atlanec
City. N. j. some years ago. were OF
a kind and character to inspire con-
fidence. He was a peculiar looking
character. While he held the confl-

as q "'go-between", so to speak, was
able to get much for Labor without

who seemed to have had little Drains

increase his infatuation for Jones

is the best financial investment a
man can make, concludes Patrick J..
Carr, treasurer Of Cook County (Chi-

added.
The survey of the tax situation
here, made with view of reaching
any scientific conclusions on economy
and money saving. shows that at "a
years of age the average husband has
about per cont less property, money
in bank and taxable wealth than the
average bachelor Of the same age.
But when both reach the age of
%, the husband will be per cent
ahead and will continue to distance
the bachelor more each year" said
Mr.. Carr. The cost of marriage put
him back in the first comparison

As he will be 20 per cent ahead, de-

to work harder, save more and is

PA0NIA MAN TAKES
OWN LIFE BY GUN

Weary of life made difficult by i'll
health, Bert Hollingsworth placed the
barrel of a 45-7O Springfield rifle in
his mouth Wednesday and pulled the
trigger as a way out. Mr.. Hollings-
worth was alone at his home about
three miles south of Paonia at the
time he shot himself.
Mrs. Hollingsworth was in Delta, at
tending the state federation meeting
luncheon, and the two sons of the
family were in school. Neighbors talk,
ed with Mr.. Hollingsworth about
eleven o'clock and he seemed to be
in good spirits and natural in every
way. At noon friends tried to call
him over the telephone and tried re-
peatedly during the afternoon, receiv-
ing no answer. On this account it is
thought that he must have killed
himself about noon.
When the two sons of the dead
man, Albert aged eight years, and
Howard, fourteen, returned from
school in the afternoon they found
the horribly mutilated body of their
father in his bedroom. Life had long
been extinct.
Mr.. Hollingsworth, who was about
thirty-five years of age, had been in
i'll health for some time, though he
was not in a serious condition. This
is the only thing to which the suicide
can be ascribed.
Mrs Hollingsworth was before her
marriage five years ago, Miss Aletha
Kennedy Of PaOnia. She and his two
sons by a former marriage survive
Mr.. Hollingsworth, and to them is ex-
tended the deepest sympathy of the
whole community.
The tragedy has cast a pail over the
friends and neighbors of the Hollings-
worth and the death of this young
man will be greatly mourned by all
who know him and his family.
