Mr.. Joe Allegreno of this city,

ed by two men, one James

with number of honorable
gentlemen, men of truth, men in

an honest debt appeared on the
scene with Joe, ready for trial
and so much of a fabricator these
two accusers must have been
that neither would appear, but on
the other hand took to the woods
in hiding. :.
To show there is something
rotten in Denmark about two
men like Sunny and Brown you
have this and this alone to
drow from. Both owed for bath
ing and Sunny owed some for
packing his bucket. refusing
to pay and making excuses,
thinking they could rob Joe Allie
grano further AND refused to
pay him, took the lying method
of making a charge against Joe
that he sold whiskey.
Men like John Douglass, Nick
Hairston, Harry Austin, James
Early Price, all of whom had
received service at Joe's hands
ever since he has had charge of
the bath house appeared in Joe's
behalf and branded the accusa-
ton as a most monumental lie. |
The Justice, Rowing too, h a t |
there was something wrong |
about it, dismissed the case at |
the expense of the accusers. You
know they were crookd because
in the absence of 10 they took
their clothes away and now re-
fuse to pay.

Dear Sir
| | have been reading your pa
per for the past % years and
would not be without it. Here in
Virginia we Negroes know what
1t means to be living under the
Democratic party m ore than a
West Virginian could ever ina
CINE. often wish that some of
those crazy Negroes" of Nc
Dowell county could experience
the difference in the two states
although they are separated by
such few miles. Probably then
t h y would appreciate what |
say when | state that the day is
not long when they will wish
that Mcdowell was again the
Free State that it once was.
| was recently told of the
terrible TRADE made upon you
by I he present Democratic
Sheriff, Mr.. Fred Ray, concern
ing the article published in your
paper about the RECORD OF
THE DEMOCRATS TO DATE
IN YOUR COUNTY. | am sur
prlsed that this supposed high
class christian gentleman would
make the remarks that he was
credited of making towards you
and your valuable paper. Then
when | reflect am not surprised
when | learned that he was a
native of KENTUCKY. | wonder
If anything good can come out
Of Kentucky?
Keep up your fine work and
publish all of the news good
@bout every body and bad about
every political party. 1t they
cannot stand it why let them
correct the things that you have
said and which must be true
eXistinG in the county where you
pay your taxes. If Mr.. Ray does
not think anything about your
paper he should stop reading it
or paying any attention to what
il published in it. The fact that
he stops to read the same is
evidence that he is very much
Interested in what you say. He
should know if he is us intclli-
gent as he thinks he is that you
could not have obtained these
F. figures from the source they
were given unless some of his
white folks" secured them fol
you. hope they paid you well
for all Of the space they asked
you 10 give the article although
they tell me that Negroes do all
Of the work clean and dirty in
Mcdowell and get nothing for
the same. Since the Republicans
had you print this article | am
positive that your clerk must
be a Republican or greatly in
! tCreSted in the welfare Of the
Republican party.
Don't let them close the Nc
DoWell Times for when they do
good bye to the NEGROES Of your
county. They will not have any
mouthpiece h en- and when
ever you are without press to
chronicle your facts you are a
lost cause in this day Of minori-
ties. You will live when Mr.. Ray
and the fire eating, Negro hating,
! Democrats are gone. There are
Some GOOD ones, in this city
could not ask for better friends
than have among some of them
but as n whole, you just can't
trust them, especially when you
want to exercise your rights al

In 1929, Perier, governor of
Louisiana said with reference
to a group Of Negroes who had
fought against the Indians !:
Fifteen Negroes in whose
hands we had put weapons, per-
formed prodigies of valor f the
blacks did not cost so much, and
if their labors were not so neces-
sary to the colony, it would be
better to turn them into soldiers,
and to dismiss those we have,
who are so bad and cowardly
that they seem to have been
manufactured purposely for this
