MADAME WILLERRANDT'S
BLUNDER

Assistant Mabel Walker Willie
brandt has been "riding for fall"
for some time. She developed an
antipathy to Negroes and now she is
asserting her authority to the eX-
tent of debating to her superiors in
office. She evidently overestimates
her political and personal influence
in the country. She is responsible
for that indefensible spy system, by
which government agents were sem
fenced to the penitentiary at Allan
ia or false papers to that effect were
made up and the individuals incar-
cerated.
This was done without the knowl-
of the warden in charge, and the
interesting question has been raised,
if the incarceration was legal, how
could these persons be gotten out
of the penitentiary without the ex-
ercise of the authority s"ecified in
the law in so doing and in accord
ance with the requirements for the
release of bona-fide prisoners? John
w. Shook, warden of the Atlanta
penitentiary, strenuously objected to
this mode of procedure and he has
notified the Attorney General, if this
custom is to be continued, his resig-
nation will be Forthcoming.
This was enough to cause Attor-
ney general w. D. Mitchell to "sit
up and take notice." but this has
been followed by the statement that
Senator William E. Borah has made
an issue of the affair. AS between
this fault-fnding impetuous woman
and Senator Borah, the President
and his Attorney General will not
have far to go to find a solution of
the question at issue.

TO NOMINATE A STATE TICKET

The Republican State Executive
Committee met Monday night, March
18th, at Roanoke, Va, and author
lied the issuance of a call for a
meeting of the Republican State EX-
ecutive Committee and the Central
Committee, which bodies will con-
vene in the city of Roanoke Satur-
day, March %, 1929, 1880 P. NJ, at
Hotel Patrick Henry. The principal
business to be transacted is an
nounced to be the fixing of a time
and place for the State Convention.
The anti-Smith Democrats, who
supported the presidential aspira-
tions of Hon. Herbert Hoover,
through a conference at Lynchburg,
in session recently, authorized the
calling of a State convention to
nominate, if deemed proper, a ticket
for the November elections. 1t is
evident that while the two bodies
will act independently of each other
they will cooperate and name joint
ticket, which can be supported by
the two organizations,
The short ballot recently adopted
with the Capitalization of power in
the Governor is being regarded as a
most favorable opportunity for the
two organizations to control the
State for many years to come should
the overthrow of the present Demo-
cratic organization be accomplished.
ColOred people are launching a cam
paign to get themselves registered
and organized. They will be in a
position to prove a potent force in
the contest.
While the success of either the
one or the other of the three con-
tending parties will not mean any
thing to them from a standpoint of !
holding offices, it will have a great !
effect in determining the kind of i
treatment to be vouchsafed them af-
forwards.

ence Of General Wood, and when he
was connected with the Army he
rose rapidly from one big job to an
other.
General Wood was born in Kansas
City, Mo-, June Is, 1879. He entered
West Point Military Academy and
was graduated from there June 13,
1900. He then served as lieutenant
of cavalry with troops in the Philip

Fort Assinniboine, Mont, from 1902
to 1908.
He was sent to West Point as an

gust, 1908, to March, 1906.
In 1905 he was assigned to the
Panama Canal with John r. Wallace,
first chief engineer, and served dur
ing the construction Of the canal,
from March, 1906 to May 1915.
General Wood served successfully as
superintendent, assistant chief quar-.

ing, housing and distribution of la
Dor, as well as the local purchase
and distribution of all supplies for

BIGGEST STORE

Worlds Largest Store" used to
characterize Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
is not merely a trademark. 1t is
not a claim founded upon conjec.
ture. The number Of customers who
buy every year from Sears, Roebuck
& Co., and the amount Of money
that they spend with the company,
have given the business magnitude
that is correctly expressed by the
title. a
There are more than 10000, 900
names Of customers in the mail order
files, representing people who buy
regularly from Sears, Roebuck & Co.
There is no other business in the
world whose files have the names Of
12,00O,O00 regular customers. Ten
million more, it is estimated, buy in
the conpany's retail stores.
The total business of Sears, Roe.
buck & Co. for 1928 was approx
mately $347,000.000. In 1927 it was
$685., 100000. The 42 years of the
company's career shows an amazing
development from a tiny mail order
