Here Is A kiIIer-D;IIer

Getting right down to the point:
These two races were double
crossed from the start, but just
did not know it. When this official
took office he started out doing just
the things he had promised not to
do. And he has not done anything
that he said he would do. Now
here comes a Republican trying to
tell Democrats to vote for a man
who has broken the confidence
entrusted in him by the Democratic
party. If this official has conduct
ed his office in such manner that
is difficult for him to find DEM
ocratic material to work with
through the primary election, then
he deserves a good scrubbing be-
hind the ears. Therefore every
citizen who has the welfare of his
fellow men at heart should turn
deaf ear to any speaker urging
them to support a candidate whom
he cannot and will net support
himself.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-(SNS)-
A tall, elderly man, whose snow
white hair contrasted sharply with
his dark skin, peered through the
bars in the police station Saturday
morning, and talked in low tones
to. a white man, evidently a friend,
who mad come to hear the colored
mans version of grim tragedy
in which he had become involv-
ed
The colored man was Henry
Winters, Sr. SIS, 2794 Park Avenue,
well-known bricklayer, contractor
and cafe operator. He was being
held in Jail for the Staying of his
20-year old son, Rufus Winters.
The father appeared to be grief
stricken.
Circumstances surrouding the
manner in which the shooting oc-
CURED suggest that Withers killed
his son accidentally.
According to an Investigation
conducted by Sergeant Don owens
of the Homicide Mureau the
younger Withers was shot on the
night of July 4th, around IL p. m.
in front of his fathers cafe, cor
ner Josephine and Park Avenue,
during an alteration which he
(young Withers) was having with
an unnamed assailant. The father
shot his son while trying to pro-
tect him from the other man who
was armed.
According to available informa-
ton Rufus Withers had attempt
ed to stop an argument between
two men in front of his fathers
cafe. One of the men had drawn
gun on the other. Evidently with
the intent of preventing further
disturbance in front of the cafe,
young Withers interfered in the
dispute. The man with the pistol
then turned on Withers, and, ac-
cording to some reports snapped
the gun in his face several times.
The pistol failed to go Off.
In the meantime, the elder
Withers, seeing what was going on
seized his shotgun and went out
side. A large crowd which had
gathered around the men was mill
ing about. And it appears that
someone attempted to prevent q
shooting and grabbed hold to
Withers arm. The gun went Off ano
the younger Withers dropped shot
in the head. He is said to have
been dead when he reached John
CASTOR Hospital.
The man with whom he was
arguing left the scene. 1t is not
known whether he has been ar
rested yet.
Winters, Sr, was later arrested

was learned that today the most
popular way of allocating dark and
light colors on a small cottage is this:

in color; trim, lighter than body

The roof of the mouse in question
was medium gray and consequently
it was decided to supply the element
of brightness on another area-the
shutters. These were coated In a
rich maroon tone To give the house
unity, make it look more modern
and increase its apparent size, the
various materials involved in its con-
struction were all painted white-the
clapboard gable, the brick wing, the
stucco, the chimney and the cinder
blocks. AS an added note of up-to-
dateness, the top OF the chimney
was given a band of maroon. The
front door and a new window box
were coated in straw color.

AS an example, take a house of
the small cottage type One in par
ticular, constructed OF several differ
ent building materials-red brick,
clapboard, stucco ana cinder block
looked smaller than it actually was
because its surface was. broken up
by so many different colors. The
foundation of the house was of
cinder block and the gray surface
of this material showed plainly in
the walls of the garage that was on
the level of the street, beneath the
house.
The wing of the house that jutted
toward the street above the garage
was of red brick and the clapboard
gable above it was painted white.
Shutters also were painted white.
While these showed up against the
red of the brick wing, they added
nothing to the balance of the house,
which was of uncoated stucco. A
dark tone on the trim, sash and
doors also served to break up the
surface of the house in an unat-
tractive manner A red brick CHM
ney proved a further drawback.
