#BlackColonizer | "A Race War," June 17, 1892

A special from Guthrie, Okla., on the 13th, says:

There is great excitement in this city night occasioned by two criminal assaults by negroes upon white women today. A negro lad named Holley assaulted Mrs. Charles Moore, the wife of a freighter, who was away from home at the time. He was arrested and a mob surrounded the jail, threatening to lynch him. The negroes of the town claimed that Holley was innocent, although be bad confessed his guild to the sheriff. A race war now seems imminent.

The Traitor

French papers recently received tell of the arrival of Capt. Dreyfus, the French traitor, at the “Isle de Diable,” where he is to be imprisoned. He is under strict guard and is only allowed to walk in a plot 400 feet square. Should he go beyond this the soldiers are ordered to use their arms. He is naturally extremely unhappy.

Blackdomites advertises and Harold Coleman managed marketing.

In 1899, Dr. Julia Pearl Hughes opened her own drugstore at 937 Christian Street in South Philadelphia, called Hughes Pharmacy. On February 16, 1900, Dr. Hughes married James Harold Coleman, a traveling newspaper salesman from Virginia.  The couple moved to Newport News, Virginia, where the now Dr. Coleman opened another pharmacy. The couple also started another venue, the Columbia Chemical Company in 1909. The company was established to produce and market a hair care product called “Hair-Vim,” but they dissolved the business in just one year. In 1912, James Coleman got a job as a colonizer agent, helping to bring black settlers to a projected all black town in Chaves County, New Mexico called Blackdom, and he relocated there. Dr. Coleman moved to Washington, D.C. to stay with her relatives. By 1914, Dr. Hughes started a weekly newspaper with Timothy Thomas Fortune, called the Weekly Sun. She also returned to work on her hair care products and established the Hair Care-Vim Chemical Company in the basement of her family’s home. Dr. Coleman and her husband were divorced in 1916. The couple had no children.
