WACO.—The membership of the
AME Church in Texas under the lead-
ership of Bishop W. Sampson Brooks,
has launched one of the greatest
Back to Paul Quinn College move-
ments in the history of that denomi-
nation in Texas. The occasion is the
Second Jericho’s March in the inter-
est of the unique Book of Redemp-
tion. It will be recalled that Bishop
Brooks, who presides over the AME
Churches in Texas, conceived the idea
of redeeming Paul Quinn College
from its shackles of debt by getting
seventy-five thousand persons to con-
tribute the small sum of one dollar.
This plan has been so arranged as to
organize the conferences of the State
into twelve divisions to represent the
“Twelve Tribes of the Children of
Israel." It will be recalled that when
the Israelites reached the borders of
the promised land, they encountered
the strongly fortified city of Jericho.
They were instructed to march
around its walls once daily for six
-days and on the seventh day, they
were to go around seven times and
′ the walls would fall, and they fell.
The Paul Quinn Redemption plan
is being carried out in a similar way.
The first march was held in January
last. The next will be staged in Waco
on the above named dates. In connec-
tion with this march, the greatest
Educational Chautauqua ever at-
tempted by the race in Texas will be
„ the outstanding feature. Four Bish-
ops of the AME Church will join Bi-
shop Brooks in the grand affair. Bi-
shop John A. Gregg of Kansas, Bi-
shop Wm. A. Fountain of Georgia;
Bishop Wm. D. Johnson of Califor-
nia, and Bishop Geo. B. Young of
Arkansas. There will be leading men
from all over the country in attend-
ance. An effort is being made to have
all the membership of the A. M. E.
Church in. Texas go on the pilgrim-
age to Paul Quinn College, together
with friends of the college of all de-
nominations. President A. S. Jack-
son is arranging to see that all visi-
tors will be given free lodging and
good wholesome meals in the college
dining room for the small sum of
15 cents. This makes it possible for
every one to attend.
Those attending the recent com-
mencement at Paul Quinn College
went away greatly heartened with
the progress the institution has made
under the management of Dr. A. S.
Jackson. All were amazed when the
report was read showing that all the
operating expenses for the present
year had been paid, including the sal-
ary of teachers, and there was to the
credit of the college a small balance.
Few institutions in the nation, re-
gardless of the race to which they
belong, can make such a boast. It is
a compliment to the farsighted busi-
ness ability of Dr. Jackson. The com-
mencement was the largest and most
enthusiastic the college has had for
. ’ (See PAUL QUINN, Page 5)
RATHVEN v. FRENCH
55 S. W. 578
OPINION BY JUDGE J. STEPHENS
This is a contested election case,
involving the right of appellant to
hold the office of treasurer of Hemp-
hill County. The court found that ap-
pellant received 74 legal votes, and
appellee, who was the contestant, 73,
but that H. D. Moore, who would have
voted for appellee, was not allowed
to vote, although he was a legal vo-
ter. The election was consequently
declared void, and a new one ordered,
from which judgment this appeal is
prosecuted.
We find no merit in any of appel-
lant’s assignments of error, but adopt
the court’s findings of fact upon all
the disputed issues of fact raised by
him, since the evidence was sufficient
to warrant these findings. Of the is-
sues so raised, whether Charles Ful-
ler, who voted for appellee, was still
a resident citizen of Hemphill County
at the time of the election, was the
most difficult one; but his intention,
though a single man, entering into
business and eating and sleeping else-
where, to hold his residence in Hemp-
hill county, where his trunk and
clothes were still kept ’till he was
ready to move, warranted the court
clerk to refuse on party grounds.
The mandamus suit is set down for

OLDEST BAPTIST
CHURCH IN TEXAS
Every Negro who holds a poll tax receipt or exemption cer-
tificate, or who is entitled to exemption under the laws of
Texas, should go to the polls on July 28th, take at least one
witness, and if denied the right to vote, should then and there
mark a sample ballot as he or she would have marked the offic-
ial ballot had the election judges followed the law, and then
each such Negro voter should execute an Affidavit setting
forth all the facts and attach the marked sample ballot to the
affidavit. 1 ,
Several thousand of such affidavits may change the com-
plexion of the election under the following Texas statute and

‘If it appears on the trial of any contest provided for in ar-

election as to the office about v hich the contest is made, either
from the returns of the election or from any evidence within
reach, or from the returns considered in connection with other
evidence, or should it appear from the evidence that such a num-
ber of legal voters were, by the officers or managers of the elec-
tion, denied theprivilege of voting as, had they been allowed to -
vote, would have materially changed the result, the court shall with Article;
adjudge such election void, and direct the proper officers to or-
der another eleclion to fill said office; which election shall be or-
dered and held and returns thereof made in all respects as re-

EWING’S TITLE
THREATENED BY
NEW FISH KING
HOUSTON.While the local Ash-
ermen loafed the line-throwers of
Moscow stole the limelight this week.
Not only do Prof. L. T. Allen, R.
Blair, and Jeff Scott claim to have
caught 67 pounds of big fish last week
and 110 pounds the week before, but
Prof. Allen claims the title Fish King.
Somebody, page our King Fisher! Of
course, we can’t credit the Moscow
boys because we did not lay our tape
line on those 177 pounds they boast
about. So, technically, Jim Ewing is
still de .king fish!

INSTALLING NEW
DUPLEX PRESS
Early this week the big trucks be-
jan backing in front of The Houston
Informer plant, curious crowds gath-
ered, and passers-by halted. The ar-
rest of attention was due to the de-
livery of a spanking brand new,
modern, rebuilt DUPLEX PRINTING
PRESS, which is being installed in
the home of The Houston Informer.
The press, from a mechanical
standpoint, is beautiful! Superlative-
ly efficient! With it 4500 TWELVE
page papers may be run per hour.
It prints from roll paper, which
weighs one ton each.
H. S. Warner, the erector, Battle
Creek, Michigan, is spending two
weeks, with the assistance of four
other local men installing the press.
The week preceding the beginning
of installation, picks shovels, ham-
mers, cement workers and carpenters
were busy making ready the pit and
cradle upon and in which rests this
late model of printing machinery.
Manager Carter W. Wesley and
Editor J.. Alston Atkins, under whose
management this press is purchased
and installed, are ever alert for the
best interest of the reading public,
hence this new mile-stone in the life
of The Houston Informer.
IN ANNIVERSARY
HOOKS.—In answer to our query
as to the oldest Baptist church in
Texas, so we could tell J. A. Thomp-
son of Galveston, we have received
the following information in a letter
from B. H Hooks, of Hooks, Texas;
“The ) Bank Baptist Church is
the oldest Baptist church in Texas.
- The records show that the Red Bank
Tehurch was organized in 1866, by the
,Rev. Forest Books, and the Rev. J.
R. Alexander, and J. R. Thomas
I (white). Then Rev. Forrest Hooks,
, Rev. Major Holloway and .Henry Fort
I were made trustees of the property
and church. The first timber cut for
the building was cut Sept. 2, 1867.
’The first pastor, Rev. Forrest Hooks,
1866, served until his death. He died
I May 20, 1909, after serving forty-
three years. The second pastor, Rev.
, S. M. Holloway, served 2 years; the
3rd, Rev. J. M. Merit, served 4 years;
I 'the 4th, Rev. L. J. VanPelt, served 5
years; the 5th, Rev. C. H. Nelson,
served 2 years; the 6th, Rev. M. C.
Lewis, 4 years. The seventh pastor,
Rev. A. B. Lennox of Detroit, Texas, Houston:
moderator of Zion Baptist Associa-
tion, was elected as pastor of Red
Bank Church, July 4, 1926, and has
served ever since, and will serve un-
til his death, if he doesn’t resign.
He is a wonderful man and preacher.
This is a true record in black and
white, and if any church in Texas can
beat this, 0. K.
DALLAS.—Dallas citizens were
shocked today to hear of the death
of Mrs. Cornelia Ford Bluitt, wife of
Dr. B. K. Bluitt. one time prominent
physician of Dallas.
Mrs. Bluitt passed away in Chica-
go, Tuesday. July 10, and the body
arrived in Dallas today (Saturday) at
12:10, will lie in state at the home of
Mr V West 220%. 2 mc "8
James A. M. E. Church Bunday af-
ternoon at 3 o’clock.
Mrs. Bluitt ′ came to Dallas as a
bride 44 years age, having married
Dr. Bluitt in Nashville, Tennessee,
and she lived in Dallas until August,
1917. Her former home at 2903 Flo-
ra, was the center of the social and
intellectual life of Dallas and her
many friends will remember Mrs.
Bluitt for her charitable and church
work.
The honorary pall bearers will be
the doctors of the city who were as-
sociated with Dr. Bluitt here.

Church, Saulnier and Wilson street,
will assemble in an Unveiling Cere-
mony Monday afternoon, July 23 at
8 p. m. for the purpose of unveiling
the Chair and removing the Material
Mourning of the Late Dr. H. C. Ca-
shaw, who pastored the above church
for more than 11 years, and who de-
parted this life on June 16, 1984.
Following the thirty days of lamen-
tation and mourning, the church has
decided along with their officers for
the purpose of looking forward to
the reinforcement of its membership
and the maintence of the property
and commemorating the wonderful
work carried on by him, and in fol-
lowing the spirit of Christ’s teaching
we realized that the church cannot
prosper nor do well without a God-
sent leadership, and thus we feel that
we will be in harmony with our late
pastor’s spirit.
We, therefore, ask the public to
attend this service and join in with
us in the spirit of prayer, seeking aid
and guidance for the future of our
church that we may go on with the
service. The ceremony will be con-
ducted by the National Baptist Church
Extension Department, directed by
Dr. D. C. Knox, associated by the
Baptist ministers Association of
Houston, Rev. L. H. Simpson, presi-
dent. We are asking that the pastors
