Mrs. Adams Gets Money NATIONAL BENEFIT PAYS INSURANCE MONEY TO WIDOW OF DR. ADAMS Grieved Over Suicidal Death, Says Burden Is Lifted No wonder that the National Benefit Life Insurance Co. of Washington, D. C. has become known as a company with a soul, a company which above all things else, has an enviable record of living up to its contracts. No better proof can be offered than the world of Mrs. Nannie O. Adams, widow of the late Dr. W. S. Adams of this city, who sold realty. "I was steeped in grief over the recent suicidal death of my husband. and many of my acquaintances were adding worry to my grief by telling me that the National Benefit would probably not [illegible] the insurance claim because of the manner in which my husband died. "My burden has been lightened, however, by the prompt receipt of checks for settlement in full of my claim for $5,500 on my husband's three policies. I shall always sing the praises of the National Benefit Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., says the company agent. For further information about the company one may get in touch with Mr. B. L. Thomas at [1117?] W. Walnut St., Louisville, Ky. HOODLUMS ATTACK PORTER'S PLACE. As the Leader goes to press it is reported that Negro hoodlums, ignorant enough to believe that they are privileged to do anything they are big enough to do to Negroes and among Negroes in celebration of a Republican victory for the second time went to the undertaking establishment of Mr. A. D. Porter and almost destroyed his business. We do not have to turn to our editorial columns to say that this dirty act is deplored and condemned by all decent citizens, white and black, Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Porter took no active part in the [illegible] campaign, but had he gone all over the [city?] advising Negroes to support the Democratic candidates he would have been within his rights. Mr. Porter, feeling that fool members of his race [illegible] bother his place stayed around (Continued on page 8) QUINN CHAPEL PREPARES FOR COMING OF DR. HENDERSON, FORMER PASTOR. By Clyde Liggin. All roads lead to Quinn Chapel [Wednesday?] evening at 8 P. M., Nov. [20?] when Rev. R. C. Henderson, former pastor of Quinn will preach under the auspices of the Quinn Chapel Usher Board. The many hundreds and hundreds [of friends?] which Dr. Henderson made [during?] his unparalleled, brilliant [pastorate?] here, will welcome this news. [These?] friendships are not confined [to?] the boundries of Louisville, but [throughout?] the entire state of Kentucky. [It is?] a foregone conclusion that people [from?] various sections of the state, [as well?] as the county and city, will be in the multitude of worshippers Wednesday evening, November 20th. Come early if you do not want to stand. Perhaps you ahd that experience when Dr. Henderson preached his farewell sermon here on that memorable Thursday night a year ago. Word has come to us from those who have recently visited Evanston that Dr. Henderson is sweeping Evanston off its feet, and his influence has even extended to Chicago. It is common for Chicagoans to motor out to Evanston for the express purpose of hearing Dr. Henderson preach. He has a great choir of sixty-five (65) artists who sing God's songs (Continued on page 8) DR. JOHNSON SPEAKS FRIDAY [Photo] DR. MORDECAI JOHNSON Dr. Johnson, graduate of Morehouse College, Chicago Univesity and Harvard University will speak at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Third and Guthrie, Friday night. An Interracial Concert will precede the speech of Dr. Johnson at 8 o'clock. This program begins promptly at [7?] o'clock. Dr. Johnson, during his presidency at Howard University has become a nationwide figure. Louisville welcomes President Johnson as their guest of honor. Dr. Johnson comes primarily to Louisville to address the Interracial Conference, but while here he has consented to be the speaker at a mid-day luncheon given in his honor by the Howard University alumni. The Director of the Interracial Commission through the courtesy of the Louisville Leader, invites the public to attend this great meeting. Meroe Company Starts Stock Sale MEROE CORPORATION TO LAUNCH $100,000 STOCK CAMPAIGN MONDAY; WILL SEEK HALF OF AMOUNT IN LOUISVILLE [Photo] The Above Meroe Group Includes [Those?] Who Will Begin the Big Stock Campaign Monday. After five weeks of preparing the public as to the purpose and need for the Meroe Corporation, the promoters launched this week what is claimed will be one of the most intensive stock campaigns ever conducted in Louisville. Benjamin W. P. Allen, together with Dr. J. F. Laine, prominent surgeon, director of the Laine Clinic and Robert G. May, well to do undertaker and business man, in conference at the Allen Hotel Saturday, perfected plans for the conduct of the campaign. At a meeting Monday night a part of the first group of salesmen to be selected were instructed. The first report meeting will be held in the Grill of the hotel. Dinner will be served. In speaking of the prospects for the campaign, Mr. Allen said "The public has been quick to grasp the need for an organization like the Meroe Corporation, if we are to judge from the numbers of letters we have received from persons interested. We have evidently struck a very responsive chord and it has been our aim to make the stock so reasonable and the terms so easy that every man and woman in Louisville with pride in the race can share in making more business and more jobs a tremendous reality." Mr. Allen further stated that if the citizens of Louisville subscribed for fifty amount would be assured from a source which he at this time would not disclose. Mr. R. G. May, one of the incorporators and long known as "the friend of the "working man" is quoted as saying "There will be in all probability more people to buy stock in this [campaign?] than ever before for two reasons In the first place we are going after the mass of people that have never been canvassed before and in the second place the stock is priced so they can buy." Following the first dinner meeting it is asserted that the salesmen now selected and to be chosen during the week will be divided into contesting teams for the winning of cash prizes to be awarded around Christmas time. Bank Endorses Plan The American Mutual Savings Bank places its stamp of approval upon the Meroe Corporation and its plan to make more business and more jobs for Negroes. The promoters of this enterprise have been authorized to refer prospective stock buyers to the bank [relative?] to the merits of the company's offering. The American Mutual Bank will be the depository for all money realized from stock sales. Mr. Joseph R. Ray, President of the First Standard Bank sends an [interesting?] message to promoters full text of his letter follows. The Meroe Corporation, 2516 W. Madison Street, Louisville, Ky Gentlemen: The thing that has appealed to me most in the promotion of your new Company is the constructive plan which you have brought forward for helping to create more business and as a natural sequence more employment for the race here. We have had much too little of definite action from any quarter where the race is concerned of not only seeing the need but profiting by our observation and doing something definite. You shall have my unqualified support in your effort. Yours very truly, Joseph R. Ray. MERCHANTS' HIRE IGNORE RACE. Colored citizens who motored over the new bridge last Saturday reported that white men giving out souvenirs for the Market Street merchants with the inscription "It pays to trade on Market Street." refused to throw the souvenirs in the cars of colored citizens after one of them said, Niggers should not receive them. The race hating persons who distributed these souvenirs, however, were responsible for this and not the merchants, who meant that all citizens should be so recognized. Not only are such places on Market Street as J. Bacon and Sons, Levy Bros., Bensinger and other courteous to colored citizens and appreciate their patronage but they solicit [illegible] through the advertisements which they carry from time to time through the columns of the Leader. Colored citizens who spend their money with these merchants are within their rights, however, when they complain (Continued on page 8) [photo of woman] MISS HAZEL POWELL. Miss Powell, popular Louisville girl who returned from Washington after completing a course in beauty culture has opened the Virginia Beautte Shoppe at 528 S. 19th Street.

Miss Powell may be reached by phoning Shawnee 4499-W. FISK GIRLS IN HALLOWEEN MELEE Special To The Leader Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 4. - One girl was badly burned about the eyes and another suffered a broken arm as the result of a melee between girls of the Freshman and Sophomore classes of Fisk University here last Friday evening. As a Halloween affair girls of the Sophomore class asked permission of the matron to haze the Freshman girls who somehow getting hold of what was about to come prepared to counter the attack and when the Sophomores started up the Freshmen's room, they were met with buckets of hot water which was poured over their heads and clothes.

Thatcher asked the writer the other day what he thought the Republican majority would be, the reply was "bigger than that of the presidential election of last year." and that it was. Mayor William B. Harrison was reelected Mayor of Louisville last Tuesday over Edward M. Riedling, the Democratic candidate by a majority of over 27,000, two thousand more than the majority vote for President Herbert Hoover last year. Judge Henry I. Fox of the County Court, Judge Fred Starck of the Police Court, Magistrate Hubbard Petty, Sheriff; W. G. Stiglitz, County Clerk, Harry Voltz, Commissioner and other candidates on the Republican ticket ran up majorities over their Democratic opponents almost as large as that of the Mayor, Judge Fox's vote running parallel with that of the 27,000 majority of the Mayor. The Leader gave unqualified support to th e Republican ticket as a whole It contended that the record of Mayor Harrison's administration of two years was of such as to merit the vote of colored citizens that granting that the Republican party of today is not the same party of twenty-five or thirty years ago, it is better than the local Democratic party of 1927 and 1929 and the arrest of white Democratic workers who attempted to abuse and intimidate colored voters last Tuesday while a few Negro leaders were asking Negroes to vote for Mr. Riedling and the whole Democratic ticket supports the Leader's argument. Admit- publican leaders and candidates the Leader contended that to hold the Republican party as a whole responsible for the acts of a few is to approve the charging of the whole Negro race with the mistakes of a member or two. The Leader predicted that the Negro vote for the Republican ticket would be practically solid, and the returns from the precincts largely populated by colored people sustained that predic tion, $3,000,000 School Bond Goes Over The citizens regardless of party or [race put?] the $3,000,000 school bond [issue?] over by a big majority, and that is just what should have been done. Granting that Negroes might have gotten together and asked for something special out of this issue, it was found that all the citizens and all the schools were not to benefit out of the amount without specifying the Negro, the Jew or the Italian. But this was not done and the Leader believed it was out of ting the misgivings of some of the Re- reason to ask colored people to defeat a measure which the Board of Education has declared was necessary to complete buildings and improvements already begun including the two new Junior High Schools for colored people, each costing [pretty?] close to a million and other improvements and facilities for colored schools. The Leader supported the $3,000,000 bond issue without being asked to do so by a single politician, school teacher or friend and did not seek and did not receive one penny for so doing, and the Leader believes there were other citizens who advocated the support of (Continued on page 8) PROMINENT LAYMEN TO SPEAK AT CHESTNUT ST.
