Mutilated Ex-Convict
May Not Accept
State Job
Raleigh, N. C., Aug.—ANP—
That Woodrow Wilson Shropshire
former convict whose feet were
amputated following confinement
in the dark cell on a road gang,
may spurn the job offered to him
as provided by the state legisla
ture, was revealed here Tuesday
when Oscar T. Pitts, acting super
intendent fo the State prison an
nounced taht the ex-convict had
declared that he had not made up
his mind about it.
This announcement came as a
distinct surprise to the prison au
thorities as well as the legislators
who provided the way for the
maimed man to make a living.
Shropshire is alleged to have told
the (superintendent that he was not
yet certain that he was physically
able to do nay kind of work, not
even the light job which was being
prepared for him. He is at present
trying to “get used to his
stumps’’ and had given work very
little thought.
Orders were issued Tuesday for
his immediate physical examina
tion and the opinion was express
ed that Shropshire was under the
impression that if he did not take
the job eventually he wouLd be
pensioned by the state. This opin
ion was the result of a statement
ascribed to him to the effect that
he would do nothing until he con
sulted his lawyer.
Consolidation is Aim
Of Leadership of

the doing of new work, but the

aim of the National Association
of colored Women, according to
Dr. Mary F. Waring, who re
turned here from Cleveland this
week after being re-elected to the
presidceny at the 19th biennial
convention of the associtaion.
After describing the working
contact which the organization
has established with the N. A. A.
C. P., the Urban League, the
Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the
National Council of Women and
the National Federation of
Women, Dr. Waring stated:
“In 1916-20, we acquired the
Frederick Douglass home. The
years 1924-28 were those of the
Scholrship Loan Fund. Follow
ing this we began the purchase of
headquarters property at 1114 O
street, Washington.
“Kather than inaugurate new
tasks in these uncertain times, I
shall strive to finish unfinished
tasks of my predecetesors. In the
next two years we hope to lift the
mortgage on the headquarters
building in Washington and a
plan is in th making for the con
struction of a wall around the
Frederick Douglass estate to pro
tect it from trespassers. ’’
Seven invitations were ex
tended to the Ajssociation from
cities which desired the 1937
convention. The invitation of
Fort Worth, Texas, was accepted.
BISHOP VERNON LABELS
CHARGES “PROPAGANDA”
OF ENEMIES
Chicago, Aug .7, (ANP)—Al
j leged charges of atempted rape and
I molestation, reported to have been
made against Bishop W. T. Vernon
of Western Universty, by women and
| grls, were branded as so much
“propaganda of my enemies’’ by the
bshop n an ntervew wth The Asso
cated Negro Pres sths week
Hs statement was a vehement an
swer to a story publshed last week
to the effect that leaders in the
church planned to take the charges
up at the conference of the A. M. E.
church in 1936.
The bishop denied all the charges
and bitterly assailed those whom he
termed his enemies. He was great
; ly upset by the aclusations whirh he
claimed were false and by the injury
tseir circulation would do him. He
complained that t was unfar to cir
culate such unfair charges against
him after his 40 years’ service in
public life. He said:
“Propaganda resigned to injure
me at Western university is at the
’bottom of falsehood from enemies
\who have for months resorted to
lowest methods. They will gladly
’seize any accusation by anybody any
place anytime. I only ask that they
fight in the open.”
Reference to the charges were
made in a story written by Davis
Lee, former editor of the Hot
Springs Mirror.

Nebraska Plans
Biggest State Fair
One of the most ambitious pro
grams ever presented will be of
fered by the 1935 Nebraska State
Fair and Exposition when the
gates swing wide opening day for
six great days—September 1-6, at
Lincoln. The board of managers
hals combed the amusement world
to assemble a great program of
headline attractions to make the
1935 fair a milestone in a new era
of Nebraska state fair history.
This determination will be seen in
every phase of the state fair by
Nebraskans attending the 67th
annual exposition at Lincoln.
It wasn’t iso long ago that the
Nebrsaka State Fair was the
state’s greatest annual attraction
for literally hundreds of thous
ands of persons. Five years of de
pression took their toll of the
state fair along with other insti
tutions, but with agriculture en
joying what many predict will be
the best year in a long period and
the entire state pointed toward
recovery on a broad scale, the fair
board determined that now is the
time to expnad—to reclaim for
the state fair its jmst position as
the greatest possession of the
state—an annual event dedicated
to the people of Nebraska in a
spirit of pleasure, entertainment
and education.
That is the reason for NE
BRASKA ’S 1935 PROSPERITY
STATE FAIR.
The people of Nebraska have
struggled hard the past few years.
They never gave up. Neither has
the state fair. Every year, good
or bad, the state fair has made its
bow, presenting th ebest it had to
the people of the state in the way
of an exposition of the greatest
industry in the world'—AGRI
CULTURE—telliny the world of
the progress made by Nebraska
agriculture and the other varied
activities which made this state
one of the moist progressive com
monwealths in the union.
Today, the picture is different.
Because of the return of prosper
ous conditions to agriculture, all
of Nebraska is facing a new era
of betterment and the state fair
is keeping pace. In every phase
of the 1935 fair—education—en
tertainment — fun—thrills—fair
patrons in the 1935 PROSPER
ITY EXPOSITION the old at
mosphere of excitement and
carnival that made a visit to Lin
coln for a day at the fair the out
standing event in the lives of
thousands of Nebraskans of every
age, occupation and interest. It
will all be there this year, not big
ger and better, but greater and
finer.
Only a start has been made in
putting together thfe 1935 pro
gram, but when it is complete, the
board-will have made good on its
promise —EVERY ATTRAC
TION A HEADLINE FEA
TURE. The board feels that this
is the only way to get Nebras
kans back into the old habit of
I GOING TO THE STATE FAIR
in September, and it’ll pay big
dividends to both the fair and its
I patrons, an investment worth
wrhile. Only a beginning has been
made on building the program—
successive issues of ‘ ‘ NEBRAS
KA” will reveal new attracitons
added to the program—but judge
for yourselves, look at the pre
liminary bookings and see what
the 1935 PROSPERITY STATE
FAIR WILL offer you.
Already decided upon are two
days of automobile races, the
first time in years that State Fair
speed fans have had such a dish
placed before them. Auto races,
with America’s leading drivers
burning up one of America's best
and most dangerous half-mile dirt
tracks will inaugurate the 1935
fair with a blazing speed card the
afternoon of the opening day,
Sunday, September 1. Another
full afternoon of auto races wili
climax the closing day of the fair,
Friday, September 6.
Thirty drivers will be compet
ing for $1,400 in prizes these two
days in wide-open, competitive
racing. The thrills will be there
whether you are or not.
Four days of horse races! Start
ing Labor Dary, September 2, the
j 1935 state fair offers four full
afternoons of running races, a
;race card which is attracting one
of the most brilliant fields of race
horses to line up at a state fair
post. Pauses will be bigger.
Fantasies of 1935 nightly in
front of the grandstand. This
show, with a cast of 63 and over
a dozen acts, includes talent that
was featured at A Century of
Progress at Chicago last year.
They are all headliners. Besides
the evening performance, these
artists play every afternoon be
fore the grandstand between
races or other feature events, a
crowded program that is bound to
appeal.
I he Midnight Alarm—Every
evening grandstand performance
will be featured by this blazing
spectacle of pyrotechnics. Lin
coin and Omaha fire departments
race to the rescue of s c o r e s of
persons trapped in a burning
four-story building. Daring fire
men ascend aerial ladders, or
climb pompier ladders up the face
of the building to descend safely
through genuine smoke and
flames with tlieir human burdens.
Trapped residents plunge to safe
ty in life nets. This great, 40
minute spectacle is preceded by
10 minutes of beautiful fireworks
The Midnight Alarm is new,
unique, a spectacle offered for the
first time at the 1935 Nebraska
State Fair.
The horse show! In t h r e e
years, the state fair horse show
has grown to be one of the great
est attractions ever offered and
one of the outstanding shows in
the country. This year, the third
annual show will be even greater,
with more entries competing for
bigger pursds the three nights—
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Dear Alta Vesta:
Your letter was a comfort. All of
your letters are gladly received.
In reference to the “new things”,
to riake full exulanation would re
quire much of time and of space.
You see, my child, we are in the
world to live and strive for our own
good and our own happiness alone.
Each person being a part of the
great big human race is related to
every other person and is in duty
bound to da what he can to help
others. Then, it is wrong to use
whatever we may have for our own
terribly wrong to buy and use wsat
we do not need, while so many are
suffering. This is what I mean.
Sometimes when we are together I
shall explain this more fully.
I am sending the $8.00 and hope
you will be happy on Easter. Later,
I shall explain what I mean by the
spirit of Easter. Love to you and
