P. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met at Mt. Moriah Baptist church last Sun- j day. Mr. J. R.

The president urged each chairman to double their efforts in the next few months and let us help to put the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill across. He stated that unless the bill passed this congress it would probably be years before such a bill would be introduced again. Mr. J. W. Alexander spoke of the need of another U. S. Grant to break j up the Ku Klux Klan. He said there had only been one and he was fearless ; and fought them with their own weap- j ons.

(4t—6-12-19-26-’22) WHERE MONEY HAS NO VALUE Natives of Small Greek City Do All Bueinese by the Primitive System of Barter. William McFee wrote to the Fruit Dispatch, the magazine of the United Fruit company, on one of whose “Great White Fleet" he sails as chief en gineer, that lie has recently visited s community in which money is so val ueless that it will not buy a tig or a piece of cheese. At Megalovahdi, a Ut ile (tree! city built on a mountainside so steep ibut each citizen plants his garden on Ills neighbor's roof, trade is conducted by barter. In (lie market place cheese, llgs, raisins, liens, geese and goats are transmuted into one another without tlie aid of coin or scrip. Mr. McFee Wished to buy a basket of flue figs and a bottle of wine and having no change, drew from his pocket a five ruble gold piece. He Instantly found himself an- object of suspicion. The owner of the figs and wine ex pressed in vigorous pantomime her fixed refusal, nor would any of the neighbors consider the money. The In terpreter who came to McFee’a as sistance looked grnve and said the only thing to do was to take figs and wine without giving anything save a promise. “What shall I promise?” asked McFee. Money, of course, was no use. But It would tie a fair exchange if he were to promise, next time he came, to give the lady a small piece of soap. McFee promised and later sent Marianna a whole box of soap.—From the Book Leaf. Sparkling Gem*. The humorist contributor looker! In upon the editor of Answers upon his busy duy. The humorist contributor should not have looked In upon the editor of Answers on his busy day. The editor of Answers can't feel hu morous and busy a< the same time. What was more, the humorist con tributor would not go. At last the editor of Answers decid ed to stop being busy for one moment and be sarcastic. "That was a gem, that joke you sent me," he said In his usual dry tone. The contributor drew himself up with pride. “Sir,” he said, “you flatter me I” “Not at all,” replied the editor. "You should have seen It sparkle when 1 put It on the Are!"—Answers. Well! Weill Mollle Is six years old and has just Started lessons. The other day she was seen to throw her new doll down the well, which the gardener had In advertently left uncovered. When her father came home he was told of the occurrence. “So you have thrown your new dolly down the well, Molly?” he re marked. "Yes, daddy.” “And how do you expect to get her out ?” “Why, Miss Young told me that the world turns round every day, and when It turns over tomorrow dolly will drop out.” Prepared for Death. The suburban lady heard an air plane whizzing overhead. She called Cottle, the colored maid, to see It. "Has you all ever been up In one ol those contraptions, ma'am?" * The suburban lady said “No,” and lo turn nsked Cottle If she wouldn’t enjoy a ride In one. "No, slree, ma’am,” she answered “Seems like when I went up that high I’d like to he ready to Jes keep right on going up.” Why Not? The human fly was scaling the out side of the tall building at a dizzy height and an anxious throng watohef In the street. “What’s he doing?” asked an oH gentleman. “He’s going to the top of the build lng," said a bystander. “Well.” asked the old party, “why don't the darned fool take an eleva tor?” Literal-Minded Witness. The prisoner was being cross-exam lned by counsel for the prosecution when the Judge Interrupted. “You say you dined at the Hotel Metro. What did you partake of?” The prisoner turned to reply. “Beefsteak, my lord," he said. Irhe Judge looked stern. "On your oath?” he said. “No, my lord,” he said, "on a pint#.* Weapons Laid Aside. “Nobody tries to stop card playln) In Crimson Gulch.” "It's valuable for Its social Influ ence," replied Cactus Joe.
