AMERICANS TAKEN

Charged With Aiding Fin

ST. PETERSBURG, October 21.
(Special)—Gendarmes last night ar
rested William E. Walling, wife and
sister-in-law, Miss Rose Strun
stay, all of Indianapolis. The charge
is that they are associates of the Fin
nish Progressive party to which it is
alleged they have been furnishing fi
nancial aid. The American Emabssy
has been appealed to and efforts are
being made looking to their re
lease. It is probable that they will
be turned loose on condition that they
leave Russia. The police are also
on the lookout for James M. James,

ME6RO BOYS AND GIRLS
“Never Saw Neater Place.”
Says Mr. L. G. Council.
“I have never seen a neater place
in my life than the Americus Insti
tute.”
This was the statement made by
Mr. Lee G. Council after a visit to
Prof. Reddick’s school for negro hoys
and girls.
“I went over the buildings and ev
erywhere there was cleanliness ap
parent. The kitchen was a model of
neatness. If Prof. Reddick can in
still such cleanliness as this into the
boys and girls he is educating he is
doing a great tiling for his race and
for the white people of the South.
“The improvement of the colored
people along the lines of personal and
general cleanliness means much to
this section. Prof. Reddick is giving
an object lesson, apparently, in clean
liness to every boy and girls in the
school, to the parents and friends
who visit them, and to the colored
public at large, that may hear good
fruit.
“There was another phase of the
work that interested and gratified me.
That was the industrial end. The
principal is trying to get the girls
to be good housewives and the boys
to take to some industry that will
enable them to earn a good living
and be productive factors in the
development of the South. No race
ever got up except on a basis of in
dustry and I am glad to see that Prof.
Reddick is putting this fact into
the heads of the boys and girls in
his Institute. Literary learning is
all right, but the colored race will
never become more respected and en
joy life more through such learning
only. It must rise to a better scale
of living through intelligent and
earnest industry.
“Yes, I think the Americus Insti
tute, as long as it is conducted on
these lines is doing a good work for
this section and for the negro boys
and girls, by fitting them to become
good citizens. It seems to have a
level man in charge and one who
is sincerely in earnest in what he is
doing for the real betterment of his
people.’ ’
It is understood that Principal
Reddick has nearly completed the
raising of SI,OOO, which will entitle
him to another SI,OOO from the Gen
eral Education Fund. This money is
to be used in the of the
work of the Institute.

SHOPS HERE
Mr. A. J. Poole, general master me

spent the greatest part of yes

Much work is in progress at the shops

there will be no absence of employ

WEEK'S COUNT 0^
INCOMING MAILS
Business of Local Office
Nearly $450.
Results from the counting of mail
matter received at the Americus post
office for the seven days ending at
midnight Saturday, were handed to
Postmaster Mitchell yesterday by
Mr. A. B. Howard, mailing clerk.
The counting was general over
the country, the figures being for the
use of the Government in various
ways. Some offices were permitted
to suspend the back-stamping of let
ters during the week, but local office
kept right on with all departments as
usual, the counting being an added
task. The work was however done
with promptness by Mr. Howard and
his assistants, and outgoing mail was
little, if any delayed.
It is the opinion of Mr. Howard
that the receipt of mail during the
past week was not as heavy as the
average. The total collections from
outgoing mail for the seven days was
nearly $l5O. Using the receipts for
the week as a basis, it would indicate
an annual business of considerably
above $25,000.
As this is the first time such a count
has been taken it is impossible to
compare with other figures Post
master Mitclvll states that tin ’»• si
ness of the .mericus office lm* been
steadily >v easing since he has held
the place.

NEGRO PROBLEM NOW
CHURCHSGREAI ISSUE
OnlyTSolution is Spreading
Gospel.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 21.
(Special)—Unless the church takes
hold of the negro problem a reign of
vice and crime will result, was the
opinion expressed by Rev. Dr. David
S. Kennedy, at a meeting of the Pres
byterian Synod of Pennsylvania held
Friday when Dr. Kennedy said that
unless the Church gave the black man
the gospel the country would face the
worst period that has ever confront
ed It. The delegates listened in start
led silence, but broke into applause
when he said that the only solution
was the presentation of the word of
God.
“We are at the danger point in
the case of the freedman,” he began.
“The negro question is standing in
the very forefront and is engaging
the serious attention of our best men
everywhere. How can the Church
NUMBER 246
of God let herself take a secondary
place? We must face it and face it
at once. You cannot paint this ques
tion too biack, but the blacker you*
paint it the greater becomes the re
sponsibility of the Church and the
greater the need to reach a solution.
Nothing can solve this L .-me with
wisdom hut. the sure word »of God
the word of Christ, who placed the
burden upon His people when He
said, ‘Go ye into ail the - rid antt
in-each the gospel to every creature?
and the black man is one of the crea
tures meant by the Saviour.
“There is the command—give hi nr
the gospel. I don’t care what you
say about him, how much you paint
the negro and how much you hate
him; you may hate him, as intensely
as the Jew hated the Samaritan, but
by the teaching of Jesus this black
man is your neighbor, and this sweeps
away every objection that may be
raised.”
After a man has been married a
year os so he is surprised to fine
that his wife's golden tresses are, a i
ter all, just plain, ordinary red
hair.
