RUSSELL TURNS DOWN STATE NORMAL OFFER New Blood Sought In Educational Re-organization Of Frankfort Normal Institution The Leader is in receipt of news through its Frankfort correspondence that the Superintendent and Board of Trustees of the Kentucky Normal & Industrial Institute have undertaken a plan of re-organization for that institution. Especial attention is to be given the agricultural and Teacher Training departments. The report avers that an offer has been made to Prof. H. C. Russell of Louisville to take charge of the Instructional and extension departments of the school at an attractive salary. The Leader sought an interview with Prof. Russell on receipt of the news and was able to get but small detail as to the report. Prof. Russell admitted that he had been approached with an attractive offer by the Board of Trustees some weeks ago. He said that the offer would allow him wide scope as educational director and dean of the school. Although the salary offered, he said, is about twice his present salary, he promptly declined the proposition. His educational and civic interests in Louisville are such as to make a change undesirable at present. He said also that his well known views as to State educational policies differ so widely from those of the present head of the State Normal that he and his friends could not see that his services at the slhool would be very effective at this time.

PRESIDENT HUGHES AT C. M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL Mr. G. P. Hughes, president of the Domestic Life Insurance Co., will be the "Ten Minute" speaker at the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Sunday School tomorrow morning. Mr. Hughes is an interesting speaker and the public is invited to hear him. Mrs. Anna Golden of Chicago has been in the city for the past two weeks visiting her niece, Mrs. Lucy Stringer and her brother, Dr. L. E. Moody. Mrs. R. Leach of 2114 Magazine St. left for her home in Paducah Saturday where she will visit for ten days.
Mrs. T. R. Everett of Lexington, Ky. [G?]ets [Fifth?] Set of Leader Dishes LEXINGTON WOMAN GETS FIFTH SET OF DISHES Wife of Well Known Minister Secures Seven New Subscribers and Pays her Own Getting a set of the Leader dishes is getting to be a weekly occurance. Mr. Jodie Ewing, the Mammoth Insurance wizard started it off five weeks ago. Then followed Mrs. Ophelia B. Matthews, Miss M. E. Jackson, and Miss Consuella Edwards, each succeeding week. This week the successful campaigner is Mrs. T. R. Everett, the well known church leader of Lexington, Ky., wife of Rev. T. R. Everett, pastor of the Christian Church of that city, who formerly pastored here. 
Only a few days ago Mrs. Everett secured her subscription blanks, and to the surprise of the Leader office the first part of the week brought a letter from Mr. Everett with 8 subscriptions and a check for $16.00.
Goes Beyond Number
Mrs. Everett did not stop at the required number of subscribers, nor did she let it be known that she has earned a set of dishes when she had secured 7 subscribers. But she mailed the Leader office 8 subscribers, 7 new readers and her own renewal. Both Rev. and Mrs. Everett are loyal race members, and have always been the most loyal of the Leader readers. This accounts for the good work done by Mrs. Everett in sending 8 subscribers in so short a time. 
Blanks Sent; Reports Made
Subscription blanks have been sent to several who have mailed coupon blank on page 6 during the week. And many of those already interested have reported subscriptions. The campaign has two more months to go, and subscriptions are expected to begin coming in thick and fast during the next month. The task is very east, however, and one could write for the blanks the last days in July and be able to secure the required number before the close of the first of August.

Tickets will be given first to those who come first. None will be reserved. The program will begin promptly at 8:15 P. M. It will be shorter this year than usual, for this reason it is important that persons who plan to attend, come promptly.

ERNST'S ANTI-LYNCHING BILL ATTITUDE AROUSE RA [illegible] Ernst is a [illegible] Leaders all over the state are expressing their disappointment of Senator Ernst. Congressmen Langley and Ogden, three Kentucky Republicans who owe their election and therefore positions in Washington to the Negro vote of the state, and the writer is trying to muster enough belief in the Negroes of this commonwealth to state here that they are declaring vengeance beginning with the comming Congressional election, and will carry their declaration into effect. With Democrats like Congressman Ben Johnson of Kentucky and other leaders of the House and Senate supporting a measure, which passage means so much to the protection of the life and happiness of human beings, and good government of the nation, it can hardly be understood how men of the seemingly calibre of Ernst, who owe even more to the Negro Republican of Kentucky than they do, the good that will be done all the people of the nation, can give any excuse for their failure to fight for the passage of a measure, or offer and opposition to its passage by others. It is the consensus of opinion among leaders of the race here, that the constitutionality of the bill should not be the issue to concern Mr. Ernst and other members of the Committee nor the Senate that the passage of a measure to stop brutal and heartlessly murdering, and burning at stake men and women, the greatest blot on the American civilization is the subject with which these Senators should deal, leaving he Constitutionality of the bill for the courts to decide.
