THF. NTWS-CTTR0N1CLR SffTPPFSPBITRfl, PA. six J. Member Of School Board (Continued from page one.) TDFTr SATURDAY tllSlt JULY 8th Large Box of Raiiint and a Bottle of Catsup with each purchase of five or mo'e gallons of GASOLINE NORTH EARL STREET After the Civil War, Mr. Sellers remembers the raids of the Ku Klux, young white men of Rockingham county who would go to the huts of the recently freed negroes or catch some negro who had been working for thirty cents a day on a farm on his way home from work, catch the hapless negro and cruelly whip him, leaving him to live or die.

During the Grant administration, Mr. Sellers remembers that colored troops which had served in the Union army were stationed in Virginia to wipe out the ravaging of the Ku Klux groups. President Hayes revoked this Grant policy and there sprung up the White Caps, a group which continued the practices of the Ku Klux men by the fact that Federal funds are Involved. Numerous examples of such activities have been brought to the attention of Pennsylvania citizens. Many members of county relief boards and chairmen of boards have resigned because of this political activity on the part of gang leaders and bureaucrats.

Members of the executive committee of the local community chest expressed gratification that the administration of State and Federal relief funds has been lifted from their shoulders and the responsibility placed in the hands of an experienced executive who has had many years training and experience in this line of endeavor. A majority of the members present at the meeting Wednesday evening pledged their co-operation to the new arrangements. RATES FOR WANT ADS One cent a word per insertion, cash in advance.

Sellers' mother had nine young children whose hungry stomachs were a difficulty to feed. She and her mother would secure aid from the neighborhood in the form of a small loaf of bread or a few pounds of corn meal, which, when mixed with salt and water, was made into ash cake. Gordon Dobel, the new master who was a half brother of Mrs. Sellers, gave her tid her family a field and enough logs with which to build a house. Here the Sellers children grew strong enough to work and William Sellers became a striker in a blacksmith shop nearby.

It was while working in the blacksmith shop that he remembers going to Harrisonburg to see P. T. Barnum's circus, which was touring the country afoot at that time. On March 10, 1873, the Sellers family moved to Chambersburg. In 1881 William Sellers went to Pittsburgh where he lived for twenty-five years.

Mr. Sellers remembers from his boyhood days the Patter Rollers, sons of slave holders who would search the negro settlements on different plantations to catch visiting slaves.

Sellers moved back to Chambersburg where within four months his mother died. Moving to Shipjjensburg on June 22, 1906, Mr. Sellers became the driver of the borough's taxi' which he drove for eleven years and seven months, finally being forced out of business by the advent of motor taxis. Mr. Sellers is married, his wife being born in Scotland but reared in Wrightsville.

As the owner of ten properties, he claims he pays more taxes than any other colored man in Chambersburg or Shippensburg. He is the only former slave who resides in either of these cities. He is an active' advocate of negroes' rierhts and is the proud possessor of a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt upholding his views for equal rights for the colored race. Three years ago Wallace Kann took Mr.

Sellers back to Harrisonburg and the former negro slave visited scenes of his boyhood days which he had not seen for sixty-seven years. The cordiality shown him by his former neighbors and friends in Rockingham county, cause Mr. Sellers to say that the South has more fully forgotten race prejudice than the North and that more courtesy is shown to the negroes in Virginia than in PAINLESS EXTRACTION Of Teeth Asleep or Awake 50c DR.
