was his son-in-law, Emanuel Green,

brought to light : Addison had purchased
from Green thirty acres of land
and had paid him in full. Green refused
to give him any receipt for the
money or title for the land,.and had the
old man ejected therefrom. Addison
brought suit, and while it was pending
he was arresled on the charge of arson.

The white man in the South, he said,
is well disposed toward the negroes and
this feeling is reciprocated. Negro

Chicago negroes who have sought to set
a day of fasting and humiliation will

as North Carolina negroes. They
