Lincolnton, N. c., Dec. 31-Mor-

Thursday afternoon by ]. 0. Allen,
former treasurer of Lincoln county.
The killing was accidental, it is said,
and occurred in the executive Offices of
the Carolina Oil Company Of which
Allen is bookkeeper. Reinhardt, who
was truck hand employed at the Sea-
board freight station, had called at the
Office to see Mr. Allen, who held in his
hand a pistol with which he was
fumbling, shortly after Reinhardt en-
tered the front door the pistol was dis
charged accidentally, according to
others in the Office at the time of the
shooting, the bullet entering the breast
and going through the body and
through the glass in the front door of
the Office.
Allen surrendered to the sheriff and
was held for an investigation, later
being released on bond.

Human Service League

Headed by such public-spirited men
as Attorney Scipio Jones, of Arkansas,
Rev. D. E. Johnson and Morris Lewis,
of Illinois, Dr. R. A. Williams, Ross
D. Brown, and Frank Stewart, the
Human Service League has been or
ganized and presents itself to the Race
as a new type of really worthwhile
association to give aid, comfort and
protection to the orphans of the Race.
In detail, the Human Service League
proposes to provide a permanent
home, care, education, and a trade for
the orphans of its members along lines
similar to those followed by the white
Loyal Order of Moose This is indeed
new and gratifying departure or pur-
pose in the Negro fraternal world, and
marks the beginning of a fraternal
movement which will perform a work
far more substantial than having an
nual conventions, secret passwords and
signs, and handsome regalia. The
money that would be spent upon
p1urned helmets and bright swords will
be converted into bed, board, and
books for our parentless children, who
will be given the armor of trade,
with which to make their daily bread.
Negro orphans are in no enviable po-
sition in this country. The schools to
which they are frequently assigned are
not up to adequate standards. Their
trade facilities are limited, and their
localities are far from the centers
where Americanism reaches its zenith.
The Human Service League has I'M
dertaken to put over the most worthy
work in the country. The Masons,
the Knights, the Ellxs, and every ambi-
tious declension of the Race should
rush to the H. S. l., with the open
hand of cooperation and support We
hope that the desk of Secretary Nor
ris Lewis, 3435 Indiana avenue, Chi

PULLMAN PORTER KILL S
WOMAN HERE
preston News Service)

Raleigh, n c., Dec. 31-Following
a drinking party at her home, Mrs.
Elizabeth Butler, is dead and Foster
Wilson, Pullman porter on the Sea-
board train running between Raleigh
and Washington, who is accused of
having shot the Butler woman, is miss
ing and police are unable to locate
him.
The shooting occurred late Thurs
day afternoon at the Butler home.
William Harrison is being held in the
city jail, after he told L. NJ Waring,
Wake county coroner, and the police
two or three different statements
about the shooting, according to Cor
oner Waring last Friday night.
Harrison, according to Coroner
Warning, first said he did not see Will
son fire the fatal shot and secondly he
says he did see the shot fired. Harri-
son himself is held without bail.
When Coroner Warning reached the
home, he found the pistol and a
quart of whisky hidden under a cush-
ion. Bottles were scattered about the
room.
Wilson had the regular run between
here and Washington, and was to have
left last Thursday night. However, he
left considerably earlier than he had
expected.
The coroner stated last Friday night
that he expected the net he had laid
would ensnare Wilson in a short time.
The dead woman was the wife of
Weston B. Butler, a cook in local
cafe. He was not at home when his
wife was killed.

developing in Durham, North Caro-
lina's live city. c. c. Spaulding,
Avery, Pearson, Sheppard, Gomez,

are giving not only the Tarheel State

Beautiful homes, full Of the home
spirit, abound; good schools are avail
able; employment is plentiful; and
when Durham's Negro group speaks,
unending attention is given to them by
their white fellow townsmen.
Durham's secret is UNITY vir-
tue which has not as yet made very
deep dent in our race in a national
way. The colored people of Durham
are pulling together. They understand
each other, and have put "backbiting"
in the discard. 1t is a city of boosters,
from the humblest bootblack on up to
the North Carolina Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. Negro youth of Dur
ham don't have to wonder whether or
not they can get job. Their only
worry is to become efficient enough to
measure up to the standards of Dur
ham efficiency. The Chicago" of
the South is following in the foot
steps of its sister city on Lake
Michigan; and many an emigrant
who has been denied the chance
to make good elsewhere has "found"
himself in Durham, where unity, peace,
goodwill, and ambition abound. The
story of Durham should be given as
model to other Negro communities Of
the country where sel6shness and jeal-
ousy have crowded out unity and CO.
operation. With these two virtues we
can drive the wedge of race progress
into any American Negro community.

Watch Out! A. F. of L.

Watch Out! A. +. OF l..
Throughout the labor unrest in the
Negro labor world of the past year, it
has been noted that among disgruntled
gatherings of "semi-reds" and near
Communists" there have been ever
present significant number OF dele
gates who at one time, at least, were
members of, or bore close relations
with, the American Federation Of La
Dor, the organized labor machine OF the
late and lamented Samuel Gompers.
Among such "deserters" there have
been found, in several instances, high
representatives Of the United Mine
Workers, the longshoremen, freight
handlers, etc, who, at one time joined
the "A. F. of L., full of enthusiasm and
with a small financial surplus with
which to pay their dues into the parent
organization. However, the A. +. OF
l., while passing resolutions and max
ing proclamations of welcome to Ne
gro labor, has permitted discrimina-
tons to creep in against the colored
man. Where it has offered him pro-
lection on paper, frequently he has
found himself without protection,
wages, or work. In these respects
white organized labor has gone back
ward from its stern stand for the
black man, when Terrence V. Pow
Derby first started the Knights Of La
Dor, the parent of the present A. F.
of L.
Work is too precious a necessity to
be kicked around by petty prejudice.
What difference does it make whether
red bricks are laid by white or black
bricklayers? And if man is enticed
to pay for the benefits of organization,
why should they be denied to him in
the open fields of labor? The Amer
lean Federation of Labor can put quite
a crimp in the so-called red" |. w.
W., and communistic movements, so
far as the black man is concerned, if
it will practice what it breaches, and
live up to the proclamation it makes
every year at Atlantic City. Other
wise, it ought to change its name and
cease its half-hearted attempt to make
the colored man believe that it wants
his membership and cooperation
There's still some time left for Presi-
dent Green and his oficiary to take
their white labor hosts in hand and
make them understand that it's high
time for the "A. F. Of L. to take on all
the virtues of American organization
and work equality, without any secret
chamber or implied reservations as to
the black man.

The Presiding Alderman

The Presiding Alderman
The other day, Honorable John w.
Smith, Negro member of the Board OF
Aldermen of New York City, was
given the gavel; assembled to the ros-
trum, and presided over the last ses-
sion of the Board. No one had heart
failure, and none Of the white alder
men resigned. In fact, as Alderman
Smith took the chair, his white col
leagues broke out in hearty applause,
upon the elevation of their official
brother. There was no semblance OF
inferiority; nor did the question OF
social equality come up for analysis.
The Aldermen were there for serious
business concerning the greatest city
in the United States; and at that time
the course of events called for Alder
man Smith in the chair He had been
duly elected to Office by the people,
and they, both white and colored,
wanted efficient and honest representa-
ton, regardless Of such incidentals as
hair texture and skin tints. Alderman
Smith is alderman for ALL-not some
of the people in his district; and all
of the voting eligibles go to the polls
on election day.
1t would be splendid step forward
if government were interpreted every
where in America as being the instru-
mentality of ALL-not some-of the
people. 1t would probably result in
the election of some additional al
derman Smiths" Alderman Ander
sons and Judge Georges" in places
other than New York and Chicago.
Perhaps, who knows, it might bring
about greater efficiency in Govern
ment in some parts of the country
for after all, no government is any
stronger than ALL of the people who
prescribe it. If if is stronger than all
Of the people, there's something wrong
with the machine, as in Mississippi,
for instance. We earnestly look for
ward to the day when black men will
again be seated in Congress, voicing
their peoples needs from heart full
of understanding. There is need for
Negro statesmen in Government to
combat such Congressional notables
as Ex-Congressman Byrnes, of South
Carolina, and host Of other repre-
sentatives who are elected by SOME
not all-of the people. We have no
doubt that some time the halycon day
will be a reality, and not a dream.
