Herndon To EXHIBIT
Chain Gang Cage Here

Herndon, for whom a stay of exc
cution has been secured until the
fall when the attorneys for the In
ternational Labor Defense will press
for a re-hearing before the highest
court, will speak at Phyllis Wheatley
House, 800 Aldrich Avenue North
on Friday, July 18th, at 8 p. m. and
at the Hollow Skating Rink on Gen.
trail and st. Anthony Avenues and
Kent Street in st. Paul on Saturday
the 18th of July at 8 p. m.
The chain gang cage will be on
display to the meetings and also in
front on Phyllis Wheatly at p. m.
on the night of the meeting and also
all day Saturday in st. Paul.
The chain gang cage which is IL
feet long, z feet wide and 2 feet
high is two-thirds the actual size of
the cages in which Georgia prisoners
spend their nights. 1t was built un-
der the supervision of John L. .Spiv-
ak, author of GEORGIA Niger"
who exposure Of chain gangs rocked
the country a few years ago.
The cage resembles huge circus
wagon; it is enclosed by latticed
iron bars. There are. three three
decker tiers of hunks covered with
thin mattresses Of b7r',p stuffed
with straw. g
To illustrate the. horror Of the
chain gang, volunteers will don the
striped uniforms Of convicts and
take the part of prisoners.
In addition to the, cage there will
be on display models of the instru-
ments of torture commonly on the
Georgia chain gsng. There will be
the spiked chains which are some
times riveted about the feet of the
prisoners with twenty pound weight
attached. There will be the sweat
box which gained national infamy
a few years ago during the official
investigation into the death of Ar
thur Maillerfert, a white boy in the
Florida prison camp. There will be
stocks in which the prisoner lies
three inches from the ground, his
whole weight suspended from his
wrists and ankles
Herndon, who faces these tor
lures, if he goes to the chain gang,
was convicted in Atlanta in 1888 Of
''inciting to Instruction" The sta
tute of which he was convicted is
based on a law of pre-civil war days
designed to, crush slave uprisings.
The state asked the death penalty,
but the jury recommended 10 to 20
years on the chain gang.
Herndon's ATTORNEYS. employed
nv the international Labor Defense
then apnAaled tn the u. s. Supreme
Court. which refused by a 6 to 3 de-
cision to reverse sentence on bas-
is Of technicalitv. A stay of ex-
ecrtion was obtained and re-hearing
will be dressed. Meanwhile Hern-
don is ont on bond of, $4,000 rails
ed by nouular subscription. 4 drive
is now being made to gain 1000. 900
SIGNATURES to a petition to Gov. Flu
rene Talmadge of Georria asking
Herndon's freedom and asking also
the repeal Of the "insurrecticr
slave law"

So I seek to scatter sunshine
In a dark and cherries place.
Loving words have given courage
Smiles have cheered the fearful
face.
In the joy Of helping others
Gods good time I waste no more.
Since my life has found it's mis-
sion
Waiting at my very door. .

my MISSION"

/ was longing for a Mission
Fancy made it something grand.
Something that would win the
praise
Of world on every hand.
So I squandered time in waiting
For a chance that never came.
Quite forgotten to think of others
In my longing after fame.
Twin-City herald. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1940, 1935-07-06

But one day had a vision
OF the needy ones nearby.
Of the hearts that starved with
hunger
Till they faint, and fall, and die.
Starve for little deeds of kindness
Or word of hope or cheer.
And the smiles that cost so little
But can make it HeaYen here.
Twin-City herald. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1940, 1935-07-06

Then it was, I found my mission
Knew what work God meant for
me.
And I cried, Forgive my blind
ness
Now, at last, thank God, I sect"
And my heart that had been sell
fish
In its longing to be great
Saw great fields of labor waiting
For me just outside my gate.

WINSTON-SALEM PEA. SAID
TO BE GROWING RAPIDLY
Meeting Will Be Held at Courthouse
Wednesday, oath to Discuss
Problems with Farmers

The Winston-Salem Production
Credit Association, which is compris-
ed of the eleven counties of Forsyth,
Stoes, Davie, Davidson, Watauga,
Wilkes, Ashe, Allegheny, Caldwell,
Yadkin, and Surry, has disbursed
100000 with practically 100000
in transit, which makes total loans of
$57 100000, is the figure given by Mr..
L. E. Francis, who was here on a
visit the first of the week. Mr.. Fran
els is Secretary-Treasurer of the as
ISOLATION. A casla loan fund from
which the association can disburse
money Immediately if the application
is accepted by the committee has been
established. More than two thousand
dollars Of these have been disbursed
md all of these have been re-dis-
ounted by the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank of Columbia, South
Carolina.
The class B stock which MANY
farmers were afraid of last year has
proven to be perfectly good and a five
dollar share of stock is now worth
1851. All of the class B stock owned
by old borrowers who are fortunate
enough that they do not need to bor-
row again this year have offered their
stock for sale and all of it has been
sold at par value.
Any farmer who owns his stock and
tools might be considered an eligible
borrower if his record is clear.
The association lends money to
finance the production of crops, poul-
try, livestock and miscellaneous
farming expense. It also pays off
mortgages on livestock and other per-
sonal property in such cases where
crop and livestock will justify.
Mr.. Francis said, eve are indeed
growing by leaps and bounds.
Mr.. Francis will be at the court
house all day Wednesday, April "a.
He will be glad to discuss the prob
LENS With any farmer in Ashe county
who will meet him there. Mrs. w. F.
Badger is the regular application
writer for Ashe county at the court
house and she will be available to
the farmers at any time.

FIRST BAPTIST
First and Wash. SITS,

In another week we shall be
concentrating the Resurrection
Day of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
world will be celebrating Easter
with rabbits, chickens, nests and
eggs and many Christians will
have their eyes turned away from
Christ by these relics of Pagan
worship. Nothing can take the
place of the Person of Jesus Christ
in our worship and be acceptable
to God. We pray that Christians,
born Of His spirit, accepted in the
Beloved, will not be sidetracked
during this season from Him by
such minor things. Gods Word
will have a message for you in the
following services.

N. Y June
- 18.-Tradition Is at extreme
| low ebb in this ancient river
= town, along whose water
front eight-oared crews Of California,
Washington, Navy, Cornell, Pennsyl-
vania, Columbia and Syracuse will
struggle for supremacy over the four
mile route this evening. Time has
done grievous things to the once
colorful and animated background Of
this classic regatta.
Noontide finds this community al
most as normal as Newburgh. Nyack,
Tarrytown or any small city bordering
the broad Hudson. Trade proceeds
as usual; shopkeepers report no un-
wonted business impulse. Trafnc is
about the same. You see college colors
in drugstore and restaurant windows,
but q characteristic Of the decorations
Is extreme modesty.
An Now II Sedate.
THE famous old Nelson House, with
= its suave Negro walters and car
peted floors and antimacassers and
other reminders Of q more naive
epoch, reveals evidence Of an impend-
ing event Of national Importance, but,
even 70, the prevailing note II sedate-
ness. Not . band is heard, not a
college cheer.
Time was when Poughkeepsie at
this hour was aswirl. Thousands de-
bouching from special trains filled the
main streets and. what with wine and
wsssail and curb-side betting and
fag-waying and all thu sights and
sounds you used to see and hear, there
was much to interest the visitor In
search Of collegiate impressions.
Now most Of the throng which will
