tnOSe IN tennessee, are caused from
drinking Jamaica ginger and are
not communicable or contagious"
MACON, Miss. March 13.=P-
Six cases OF the peculiar paralysis
that have been reported in Tennes-
see and other sections of the coun-
try have developed in Macon and
Noxubee county, physicians said
here today.
First appearance OF the malady was
noted Saturday. Since then five
other cases have been observed. All
are men.
Physicians said the movements OF
the ones under observation were
much like those of persons learning
70 walk on stills. The ankle bones
seem TO have lost their power Of
support and twist or turn at every
wavering step. Doctors said none Of
the six had lost complete power OF
motivation.

ton OF some OF the 1873 persons in
four east Tennessee counties suf-
fering from a strange form OF
paralysis was reported today while

laboratory tests being made by the
state health department.
No new cases have appeared since
Tuesday, but the cause and cure
for the ailment remains undeter-
mined. DR.. S. S. Moody. Washing
ton county health officer. has re-
iterated that while most OF the
victims are me who said they had
taken liquor Of doubtful quality
recently, the malady could not BE-
attributed to intoxicants.

STAGE BOOKLET
GIVES PUBLICITY
TO EL CENTRO

One of the most attractive book
lets featuring Ell Centro and Imper-
ial Valley has been received at the
Ell Centro chamber OF CONNIE ,ce and
is entitled Through TIE Colorful
Southwest by Motor Coach" issued
by Pacific Greyhound Lines, Inc,
using, in part, photographs and
text provided by manager Hays Of
the chamber. The Illustrations are
particularly attractive and the
booklet is on staple finish paper of
unusual color and charm. Tha
booklet is prepared in travelogue
form. A voyager begins by board
ing motor coach and courses down
towards the Salton Sea- AS the
traveller proceeds the charms of the
desert are unfolded. He is told Of
Imperial Valleys green fields bur-
dened in winter time and their
huge annual harvest of lettuce and
cantaloupes,
Attention is directed to the broad
streets of Ell Centre, Imperial VAL
ley's metropolis, with our plenti-
tude of good hotels. Reference is
made to the former Harold Bell
Wright ranch and the charms OF
MeXicali.
The tourist is regaled with des~
cription of the trip from E, Centre
to Yuma via the sand hill route, and
carried on through Arizona and
thence eastward.
The chamber of commerce is al
most daily called upon to furnish
photographs and text or both for
various publications and transpor-
tation booklets and folders 1t is
realized that this is some of the
most effective advertising in which
the chamber has opportunity 20
participate. Except for time and
labor of the staff in preparing the
articles for publication, there is no
cost to the community except for
Photographic prints. These trans
portation companies have means OF
insuring wide distribution, and
some of the most effective publicity
for Ell Centro and Imperial Valley
comes from these sources.

MEXICAN SILVER
DEPRECIATION IS
HARD ON DISTRICT

An interesting sidelight on the
difficulties of operation of an ir-
rigation canal system in a foreign
country is provided in the recent
drop of silver in Mexico, according
to officials of the Imperial Irriga-
ton District.
Imperial Irrigation District sells
water to Mexican users at theor-
etic Sc cents per acre foot rate. The
users in Mexico pay for that water
with Mexican silver and in Mexican
gold.
Mexican silver is now quoted at
SO cents per peso, the peso being
paid into the district Golfers for
par value, or SO cents. The value
of the Mexican gold peso is 48
cents on the exchange now
Records at the district show that
the average monthly sales of water
gross approximately $4,000 Thus
the losses anticipated through ac-
ceptance of the deprecated silver
specie are large.
To add to the perplexities of the
situation, there is hearing pend

which are sent to the parents or
guardians Of children. Before
treatment is given the parents sign
the slip, giving their consent to the

DetrOit'S New Mayor
Thanks Negro
DETROIT'S NEW MAYOR THANKS
NEGROES FOR LOYAL
SUPPORT.

New York, Sept. 19.-Frank Muir
ply, judge of the Recorders Court
in Detroit at the time of the Sweet
case, who resigned from the bench
in order to become the successful
candidate for mayor, has aritten a
letter to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
expressing his thanks for the loyal
support given him by colored voters.
At the time Judge Murphy an
noulted his candidacy, Walter White,
Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. c.
P, who handled the Sweet trials in
Detroit for the N. A. A. c. P, wrote
a letter commencing the spirit of
fairness prevalent in Judge Murphy's
courta nd saying in part:
81 am certain that you will have
the united support of the colored
citizens of Detroit. / know If | were
a resident in the city you could GER
,tainly count on one ballot.
"When I came to Detroitin 1926
at the time of the attack upon the
home of DR.. Ossian H. Sweet, the
situation was such as to be most dis
couraging, so far as obtaining an I'M
partial trial for DR.. Sweet and his
ten co-defendants was concerned.
Those fears were dispelled only when
we found in your court most extra
ordinary degree of even-handed JUS
tice, an experience which unfortu-
nately the Negro defendant could du-
plicate in few courts of law, North
or South. I am certain that you as
Mayor will hold to those high prin.
ciples of justice and fair play to all
men, regardless of race, creed OF
color, which I saw exemplified in the
famous Sweet case"
In his letter of thanks on the pri'
mary election, Judge Murphy writes:
Everything came out all right. Your
people were as faithful and true as
any group could be. They went right
out on the firing line for me and
stood by me almost to man."

Black Shirt SOCie-
" Condemned

Atlanta, Ca, Sept.-(CNA) The
County Grand Jury has requested the
Fulton County Superior Court to re-
fuse granting ach arter to the Amer
lean Fascist Black Shirts. The res
olution was unanimously passed by
the Grand Jurors. 1t declared, "The
housewives of Atlanta are very much
alarmed at the methods being used
by members of this organization OF
intimidate their domestic servants.
Many employees of colored labor in
this city have been approached by
members of this organization and a
demand has been made to discharge
all colored help in their employ. The
Grand Jury holds that methods as
are employed by this organization are
inimical to the best interests of both
white and colored races" The Black
Shirts is one of the terrorist organi-
cations of the bosses. Its purpose is
to spread hatred among the Negro
and white workers in order to keep
them divided, so the bosses of the
south can further exploit and drive
the working class into deepest de-
spair. This organization uses the
most brutal and savage methods TO
attain it's aims. The Negro and white
rorkers of Atlanta must organize de-
Tense groups to protect the Negroes
from the "hidden" methods that this
organization is sure to put into force
since the refusal of charter.

WORKER TOO POOR TO BURY
CHILD. LONG OUT OF WORK.

New York, Sept.-(CNA)-John
McCracken, a roofer by trade, who
has been out of work for many
months, will be forced to let Potter's
Field bury his child, unless some I'M
expected help is Forthcoming. The
child, 8 years old, was run down by
an automobile in front of its home
while playing. Five months ago,
McCracken was scalded by tar while
working on a roof job, and has been
unable to get work since. With his
wife and two of six children he lives
in three rooms. The rent of the
rooms is paid for by janitor service
hat McCracken gives. Three of the
children are in an institution. This
is not an isolated case, as there are
many other workers who are in just
as bad a condition, if not worse. 1t
wildly proves that there is no re,
lief in sight for the hard oppressed
workers. The bosses do not care how
the laborers exist as long as they get
their profits and have plenty. Misery
and starvation awaits the millions OF
unemployed workers. Facing the
coming winter, these unemployed will
become desperate. The bosses will
try to solve the problem by establish
ing soup kitchens and little charl--
table relief. But only organized
struggle on the part of the Negro ana
white workers, fighting against their
oppressors and exploiters, will prove
to be the correct solution.

porous merchants in the State Of Vir-
ginia is Mr.. James Harmon, of this
place. 1t is a great source of in
spiration to any one to observe the
substantial line of general merchan-
disc carried by this merchant. His
winsome personality and straight
forward way of dealing with his Gus
toners will elicit the admiration of
all who meet him. His stock is full
and complete. Ones needs can be
supplied from a needle to a horse
collar. In fact, it is hard to name
an article in the general merchan-
dising line which he does not carry.
He is setting a very fine example
for our merchants all over the coun-
try. He has built up a wonderful
clientele that is giving him excep-
tionally fine support. The crying
need of today is more Jim Harmons.
