evolved in the denial of fundament-
al citizenship rights, as shown by
the case.
DR.. Porter, the key figure in
the case, is a keen eyed educator,
slight in build, whose unflinching
courage in the face of a brutal as
sault at the hands of white hood
lums in the Dallas courthouse, has
aroused colorod people and liberal
whites throughout the state of
Texas.
Because he insisted on exercis-
ing his right of membership On a
petit jury panel to which he had
been legally summoned, and refus-
ed to have himself Excused" at
the suggestion of court officials,
DR.. Porter was dragged out from
the central jury Don of the Dali
las courthouse September % by
two white men, despite his plea to
court attaches for protection, and
thrown down the front steps of
the building. Several other pros
pectivo Negro jurors accepted dis
missal at the hands of court offic-
ials.
Determined to see the thing
through the college president
picked himself up and broke
through a line of more than a doz-
en threatening whites who sought
to bar his entering the building "a
gain, re-enterad the courthouse
and ragained his seat in the jury
room.
Shortly after the assault on him
DIR. Porter was sent to the four
tenth district court in the build
ing presided over by Judge Sarah
Hughes to join the panel assem-
bled there. Here, together with
sixteen white veniremon, he was
dismissed for the week. Judge
Bush, technically in charge of the
jury room, from which the college
president was first evicted, refus-
ed to comment on the assault.
Porter's eviction from the jury
room came IN the third day of his
daily attendance on the jury panel
following his acceptance of jury
service. Well known throughout
the state, he has been dismissed
twice before from jury service
over his protest; once in 1921,
when he served one day after hav-
ing been threatened with a lynch

served three days before he was
dismissed depite his protest.

Satan Takes A
Holiday In
New Orleans

New Orleans, Oct. IL tby Leon
Lewis for ANP)-All the little
imps and implets are probably
wailing because their king the
devil decided to spend his vacation
in New Orleans. This modern Sa-
ian with horns and tails has kept
uptown and downtown New Or
leans Ia a furore tho past 2 weeks.
School children say this "boogey
man" has fiery eyes and just to
mention him sets them to riot. The
Devil Man. went to school the
other day, and after this visit it
took seven cops and a faculyt sew
eral hours to quell the disturbance
and turmoil he had cause.
He went to visit a church up
town and Brother Bill and Sister
Kate and Parson John ran off
from their pews Bibles and pulpit
using "font" to carry "body" to
safety. On the streets, in homes
and from every conceivable place
the question is shave you seen that
'Divil Man?''
A few weeks ago, police were
summoned to Algiers to arrest a
deviI-like creature who was visit
inc taverns and beer parlors, drink
ing his fill ard vanishing, into the
night without paying his bill. He
was captured, minus his horns and
tail, and sentenced to 80 days in
the %hoosegow.
The other day, frequent tele-
phone calls kept police headquar-
ters and newspapers offices busy,
authorities thought it was just a
rumor, and explained that the ter
rorizing creature was securely be-
hind prison bars. Out from no
where the "King of Hades" appear
ed at n of the downtown schools
and turned it into a panorama OF
screams and panic. Police we're
summoned, seven of them came,
only to find a group of panic strik-
en- youngsters. No trace of this
demon" could be found
Puzzled and somewhat %supersti-
tious, they checked with headquar-
tiers to be assured that the Algiers
terror was still in custody. There
he was, camly reading a magazine.
Taxing their ability for elews the
police department found no hide
nor hair nor Footprint of this
fleeing mar from hell's half acre.
Again he strikes again he disap-
pears and eludes the search of
puzzled police. He is here this
and over yonder the next. All the
evidence police have been able to
get is frightened people scream
ing, "did you see that devil man."
The first devil that was captured
says he is the Ambassador from
Mars" He has a peculiarly shaped
mustache and devilish sideburns.
But a police checkup disclosed that
body shot at loose devil" Friday
he was born in Arkansas. Some
night when he appeared at one of
the local policy stations. But bull
lets of stell could not halt the
fleeing demon. He scurried into
the dark like a ghost.
No one has been able to find
out whether or not this second
devil is an Ambassador from the
Land Of Fire or from the Voodoo
Kingdom Of Orleans. But there is
30 doubt that he has been here.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

The subject last Sunday in the
Christian Science Churches was
adam and Fallen Man" The golden
text was John 1881. He that is OF
the earth is earthly, and speaketh Of
the earth; he that cometh from hea-
ven is above all.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon: l. Corinthians. For since
by man came death, by man came
also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die. even SO IN
Christ shall all be made alive. And
as we have borne the image of the
earthly, we shall also bear the i'm
age of the heavenly.
A cOrrelatiye passage from the
Christian Science Textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Through tiiscernment of the spir-
itual opposite of materiality. even
the way through Christ, Truth. man
will reopen with the key of divine
science the gates of paradise which
human beliefs have closed. and will
find himself unfalIen. upright, pure,
