THE RICHMOND PLANET A NORTHERNER OBJE@TS. HE DOES NOT LIKE JACK JOHNSON MATTER. "ENOUGH AS GOOD AS A FEAST"—IS AGAINST ANTI-KINK PREPARATIONS.

A NORTHERN HE DOES NOT LIKE JAC "ENOUGH AS GOOD AS ANTI-KINK PR Wants Negroes to be Negro Existing Abuses—Ed Chicago, Ill., Aug. 9, 1910. The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. Dear Sirs: I subscribed for your paper and have been reading it carefully since I have received it, because I desire to understand the efforts the Negroes are making for their improvement. I am white, but I am sincerely in earnest in wishing the greatest possible advancement of the Negro in every possible way. It is for that reason that I take the liberty to call your attention to one or two features in the paper, for which I can find no justification, if your policy is, as mine is, to do all that is possible to advance the Negro. TOO MUCH JACK JOHNSON. It has been something over a month since the Johnson-Jeffries fight. Your last issue contained six or seven different articles either directly on the fight, or indirectly in reference to Johnson because of his victory. These articles would take up somewhat more than one page of the issue. Both before and after the fight, I have held that it is unimportant to the Negro and to the white whether Johnson or Jeffries win. I can understand, however, that Johnson's victory might cause some temporary feeling of pride in the Negro. OTHER PAPERS LET UP But certainly the best negro papers have dropped the matter now for weeks. I cannot see how your policy in that respect is going to help the Negro at all. It looks to me to be blatant, and blatant, besides, in regard to a thing for which there is no reason to be proud. Continually holding up such a victory before the Negro will never do much to develop him, or to inspire him. KEEP HAIR KINKY. Another thing at which I have been somewhat surprised in your paper has been the amount of material in the advertising columns on hair pomades, hair straighteners, etc. If the Negro should be urged to ape the white in appearance, that sort of advertisements would seem to be the right kind. If the Negro should be urged to develop along his own line, and not spend their money on such things as those hair-growers such advertisements will do no good. INJURY NOT GREAT. I realize, of course, that in both of these regards the injury is not great when compared with many of the other injuries which the Negro suffers. My point is that here are two points in which the attention of the Negro can be directed in a way that will prove more profitable to the Negro. The Negro journals can do and are doing a very great deal in my opinion, to direct the attention in the proper way. THE WASTE OF ATTENTION The waste of the attention is the thing that keeps the development from going on. I believe that in regard to the fight many of the other good Negro papers are already far ahead of you; in some of them there has been no reference either directly or indirectly to it for three issues. Many of the Negro journals, also, have much fewer advertisements of the sort to which I refer. I hope you will take these remarks in the friendly spirit in which I give them. Sincerely yours, E. H. SUTHERLAND. 114 Maroon Heights. Wants to Find Them. I am desirous of locating some of my mother's people as follows: Mrs. Rachel Williams, Mrs. Aritha Ann Taylor, Mr. Benjamin Suckers and Mrs. Kittle Ross. Mrs. Williams had a son named Powell. There was also another sister, Mrs. Amanda Johnson, wife of Mr. John R. Johnson. They are both dead. They had two children, Mary E. and John R. Johnson, Jr., both of whom have been teachers. I think Mrs. Ross lives in Hallifax County. Address all information to JOHN M. DORSEY, 331 T Street., N. W., Washington, D. C. Miss Pearl B. Rowe is visiting friends in Washington. She will extend her trip to New York. Richmond, Va., Aug. 11, 1810. Mr. E. H. Sutherland. Mary A. H. I desire to thank you for your esteemed favor of the 9th inst., embracing as it does an unfavorable criticism or some of the features of the journal, which the undersigned has the misfortune to edit. When you state that you are white and that you desire to know the efforts the Negroes are making for their improvement and that you have selected The Planet as the best means of taking an observation and securing this information, I concede that I feel fattered. CRITICISM INVITED. You are justified then in taking the liberty to pass upon some objectifiable features that you have observed in the columns of The Planet. It is only by such criticisms that we have been able to make improvements. My policy is to do everything in my power to advance the interests of the Negroes of the United States. You may be able from your view-point to see matters in a way that I have not seen them and to vouch-safe me information which will prove highly beneficial in our march upward and onward. AN UNIMPORTANT PROPOSITION. You are absolutely correct in your view that it was unimportant whether Jeffries or Johnson won, so far as the effect upon either race is concerned. I have expressed this opinion in the editorial columns of The Planet. I have looked upon the matter just as I have looked upon a race between a black and a white horse. The promoters do not look at the color of the contestants, but at the color of the money that will come to them. To this end, as you have no doubt observed, I have advised our people to be careful of their conduct. ALL WHITE MEN'S COMMENT. The news articles which have appeared in the columns of The Planet were all Written by white men and not by Negroes. They were published and are now being published in compliance with a public demand by colored people, just as column after column of matter has been published by white journals concerning Jeffries and had he won, they would have yet been published. As you no doubt have been advised, had he won he would have made a tour of this country and Europe and columns of matter would have been given to the readers of this and other countries. NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM You will see then that it is well to look on the side of human nature sometimes and to realize that after all there is no difference save for the color of the skin between the relative appetites and desires of a white man and a Negro. As strange as it may seem to you, down here in this portion of the Southland, there is no feeling of resentment on the part or white men because of Johnson's victory over Jeffries and white men of the better class and type look with amusement upon the acts of "glorification" on the part or some colored people on account of the success of one of the members of their race. And right here it may be well to state that the better class of southern white men in contravention to those of the hoodlum type have more patience with the short comings of the Negroes of the average type than have the northerners and westerners of the more phlegmatic strain. A HUMOROUS VIEW. For this reason, they laugh with them over the Jeffries and Johnson fight and turn it off with the remark that a white man, who would lower himself to fight with a Negro should get a licking for his pains. Couple this with the fact that many white men bet on Johnson and many Negroes took a chance on Jeffries, the matter is evened up and peace and harmony prevail in this portion of the Master's vine-yard. Still this does not properly answer all of your objections and I grant that prize fights in this country are on a par with bull-fights in Spain and Mex. THE TOPMOST ROUND.

A police officer saw a colored man go into an alley between Broad and Grace on Third Street last Tuesday night. He followed him, but he had disappeared in one of the yards. He searched the yards in that neighborhood, but could not find him. After waiting for some time he heard a gate slam and he saw the man. He called upon him to halt. He then fired at him. When he came out he saw the man standing and both of his hands raised above his head. He was a colored man. He explained that he had been on a committee to run an excursion to West Point and the train was late getting in. He went into the lot to see his sister. The officer carried him back and found that he told the truth. The colored man lived on West Leigh Street. It seems too that several persons were injured in a fight that took place on the excursion train to West Point. Holds Up Auto at Pistol Point. J. E. Tignor, a white man, living in Henrico county, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Special Police man' Tiller, on the charge of disorderly conduct. Tignor was bailed for his appearance before Magistrate Puryear today. Yesterday afternoon Tignor was driving in the county, north of Richmond, when he met an automobile in which was a number of people going from Brook Hill to Laburnum. With no apparent provocation, Tignor is alleged to have a drawn revolver and demanded that the colored chauffeur stop. Before any harm could be done, the machine was gotten beyond Tignor's range. The chauffeur reported the matter to J. St. George Bryan, who summoned Special Officer Tiller, and went with him to where the hold-up had occurred. Tignor had not gotten very far, and when he saw the car returning, he again prepared for stopping it. He stopped his buggy and standing in the road with drawn revolver, demanded that the car stop. It was stopped, and Officer Tiller put Tignor under arrest. Tignor claimed that his horse was very much frightened by the automobile, and that he was determined to make the chauffeur in both instances stop until his horse could be gotten by. To test the statement, officer Tiller got out of the car and held the horse while the chauffeur drove by several times. The horse showed no signs of fear, and Tignor was taken to the county jail. There he gave bail for his appearance before Magistrate Puryear to day—Times Dispatch. August 12, 1910. Carle Cooke Comedy trio are playing at the Casino Theatre. Hylands, N.

Address Delivered by Booker T. Washington, President of the National Negro Business League, at 11th Annual Session, Palm Garden, New York City, August 17, 1910. New York, August 18, 1910.—The Eleventh Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League met yesterday in Palm Garden, this city. Addresses of welcome were made by Hon. Geo. A. McAneny, President of the Borough of Manhattan, and by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York. A very full program for the three days session has been arranged. Booker T. Washington, President of the organization, last night delivered his annual address. He spoke as follows: "Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject, I wish to express the deep obligation which the National Negro Business League is under to the Negro press of the United States for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this and in previous meetings of this organization. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization in the form of editors and news items without question and without cost, it would have been impossible for it to have attained to its present degree of success. Let no one doubt or question in the future the value and influence of the Negro newspaper. Though it may be a seemingly small and insignificant sheet with a limited circulation reaching the people only in one community, nevertheless this Negro paper has its influence. More and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead with all the earnestness that I can command for the generous and constant support of the Negro press. This support should come not only from the masses of our people, but in the especial degree it should come from the man who is engaged in some business enterprise. Such support, in an increasing degree, I believe the Negro (Continued on Third Page.) —Miss Joannette L.

A Murder Here: Waverly Coles, colored, of North Carolina, cut Edward Fuller, colored, over the forehead and shot him twice, one bullet entering the breast and the other penetrating his side and splitting his liver. The affair took place in what was formerly known as Manchester. Coles is quoted as saying: "We had been going together," said Coles, "I lent him a dollar and as I wanted to go to Richmond Saturday evening I asked him for my money. He refused to give it to me. He had his money and I asked him to give me only fifty cents. He said I could not have five cents. When he shoved against me I shot him twice." The blade of the dirk with which the murder was committed was about seven inches long. Fuller was found in the tan-yard bottom by the officers and told the name of the man who assaulted him. An operation was performed upon him, but he died as a result of his injuries. EMMETT C. BURKE'S RESIDENCE, 806 North Sixth Street, Richmond, Virginia.

H. Peyton opened Fifth Street Baptist Sunday School. The officers and teachers were in their respective places. Miss Annie Brown presided at the place and Mr. R. H. Fauntleroy, at the organ. Everything was cheerful. The teachers taught their classes thirty minutes. Didn't we have a good time at the picnic last Wednesday? was the general conversation of the scholars after school closed, Rev. Dr. Samuel, of Philadelphia, addressed the school. He gave the school good instruction which was gladly received. The officers and teachers are intensified and are determined to accomplish greater results—Estelle Ward.) At 11:30 o'clock church services commenced. The choir was out in large numbers and sang many choice hymns. Pastor Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham introduced Rev. Dr. Samuels or Philadelphia, and stated that as Dr. Samuels was in the city visiting friends he had asked him to preach for him this morning. Dr. Samuels delivered a fine discourse from Matt: 5:1—5; his explanations were fine and weighty; he gave food for meditation. His lessons took deep root upon the congregation who seemed to have been well pleased. Dr. Samuels will preach next Wednesday night. Come out in large numbers and hear him. Pastor preached Sunday night. Remember B. Y. P. U. meets every Friday night at 8:30. Attend these meetings, they will help you.

He has met with great success thus far, and it is hoped the Charlotteville conventions will contribute not less than $500 for the Seminary. It is hoped that each school will send up a large sum for this fund. Those who went with the Fifth Street Baptist Sunday School to Fulton Park Wednesday, 10th inst., enjoyed a rare treat. Peace, pleasure and jollification reigned. Not a cross word was spoken nor a sad countenance seen. About 600 persons were present, all peaceful and gay. There seemed to have been but one regret that was, Pastor W. F. Graham was away attending a board meeting of the Lynchburg Seminary. All were as merry as marriage bells. The barbecue was a great feature of the day. The sweet savory odor from the barbecue shot revived and PRICE. FIVE CENTS strengthened the appetites of all and when he had gotten barbecued that shoat stood no more show than would a hundred chickens before a convention of preachers. Base-ball was another great feature. In the morning a game of ball was played between two male teams which was interesting. About noon two teams of young ladies played an interesting game of five innings. The game was then called off until 6 o'clock. Promptly at 6 o'clock the two lady teams repaired to the baseball field and found the young men in possession playing an interesting game. The ladies demanded that they give way for them, but the boys refused, whereupon the young ladies said they wont let us have the grounds because they are afraid we can beat them playing. Their the captain of the white caps, l. e., one of the lady teams challenged the young men for a championship game. The men immediately accepted, the field cleared, and a championship game commenced between the ladies' team called White Caps and the young men's team, the Red Stockings. The ladies took the field and an extra fine interesting game ensued. The pitcher on the female team was a little girl about 16 years old. She soon became the center of attraction, as all the players. This female pitcher could throw a strong curve which the boys couldn't knock outside the diamond. Three innings there the boys had two on base; the young man at the bat knocked a high fly, two of the young made for it and striking against each other they missed the ball and the boys made two runs. The girls became excited and by a wild throw endeavoring to cut the runner off on the third base the boys made another run. Their pitcher, however, seemed to possess herself and began throwing stronger curves. The fellow at the bat knocked a grounder, the pitcher made a professional pick and out ran him to the first and then cut off the boy going in home. Side beating out, the girls took the bat. The pitcher had the third strike, two were on base; she hit the ball knocking way in the field making a three bagger, bringing in two on base and she on the third. So well did she play her base the boys couldn't get her out. She played her way home from the third eluding the catcher.

It was almost draw straws, the unpire said she was safe. The boys got scared and called the game. At the calling the score was three for boys and three for girls with two out on girl's side. A fine game had been played thus far. The boys admitted that he girls could play ball. The young ladies claim they won because it was a tie score and only two were out; and four innings had been played by each. President Hill Here Rev. Daniel W.

There are few agencies which, together with the church and the school, have exerted a greater influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this influence is exerted at the price of poverty hard work and self-denial on the part of the publishers. As each delegate and visitor to this League returns to his home, I hope he will carry with him a resolve that in the future he will see to it that his local Negro newspaper has his hearty support and co-operation It is a serious matter to bring from all parts of our country as many men and women as are present at this meeting of the League. Each one has come here at considerable cost in time and money. These meetings will fail of their purpose unless each individual comes here with a serious purpose, comes not only with the idea of getting out of each meeting that which will improve him as an individual but even more important that which he can take back and use for the betterment of his own community. Each one should come with the idea of getting information methods and inspiration that will enable him to return to his home and teach the people how to start additional industrial and business enterprises and improve those which are already in existence Upon each delegate here gathered, I repeat, there rests a serious responsibility But to the text I have chosen "To him that hath shall be given." These lines spoken, by the Master strike the keynote for individual success, and equally so for racial success. The chief object of the National Business League is to teach the Negro the value of the opportunities that he possesses as well as the value of the opportunities that are before him. Let us convince the world that we have opportunities and are conscious of them, and more opportunities will come to us—more openings for our growth will appear. "To him that hath shall be given," is the law of life. On the other hand, if the world becomes convinced that we have no opportunities, that there is no future before us, despair and death will follow and the opportunities that we have will disappear. The world is interested in the man who is succeeding. The world is interested in a race that is succeeding. In the United States there are two millions of Negroes and there is a normal increase. Ten millions of people living under the same government, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, with the same history back of them, of the same color with varying shades of difference, united, banded together or moving in the same direction can be made a great power for usefulness and righteousness. Ten millions of people mean a population larger than the whole population of Canada, nearly as large as that of the Republic of Mexico. We have as many colored people in the United States as there are inhabitants in Norway, Sweden and Switzerland combined. I repeat that one of the objects of the National Negro Business League is to emphasize among ourselves and before the world that which we possess in the way of actual ownership and id opportunity. "To him that hath shall be given." The world today seeks the Japanese, it seeks the Canadian, it seeks the white man in Oregon, in Alaska and in the Southern States to pour into their laps riches, more opportunities, because they possess something and because they emphasize their possesions. On the other hand, let any group of people, or race, make a business of advertising their want of opportunity and their poverty or possession and the world passes them by or flees from them. I do not overlook the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon the Negro, nor do I excuse them or lightly pass over them, but we as a race will find that we will get what we are entitled to as American citizens more by emphasizing and seizing our opportunities than by advertising our difficulties and troubles overmuch, for from him that hath shall be taken away even that which he accums to have Practically all the fundamental conditions for industrial and business success are before the Nrogro in America, and here I speak of prevailing conditions, not of the exceptions. There is the right of domicile. The Nrogro under law and under custom can reside in any part of the United States that he chooses. What a change in fifty years? The Nrogro can own property in any part of the United States, another tremendous change in our condition within a half century. The Nrogro has a greater opportunity to get owner ship in the soil in this country, especially in the Southern States, than any ten millions of people in the world who are in the same relative stage of civilisation. No one can travel through this country as I am constantly doing, without being proud of the fact that the Nrogro is using this chance to get hold of the soil. Another fundamental condition for business and commercial success on the part of my race is the opportunity for the masses of the race to find work. Speaking now of the ten millions of colored people and speaking of the Southern States where the great bulk of the race lives, I would remind you that we have the advantage of having plenty of labor for the masses. For the most part, labor the man instead of the man having to seek labor. As compared with any ten millions of people in the old world, the price received for our labor is three and four times higher than that received in many of the old countries. Let us never forget that the success of the man in business is dependent upon the success, the happiness and prosperity of the laboring classes. Let us advertise, then, the fact that the Nogro is in demand as a laborer rather than place too much stress upon the exceptional cases where the Nogro cannot get work, for here again my text applies "For to him that hath shall be given," for no one wants to employ the man in the course of the man in the course of the lazy man. No one cares to employ the lawyer who has no clients or the physician who has no patients. Again, to the Negro in business, especially in the Southland, in the matter of freedom of trade there is a golden opportunity While in other directions there are restrictions. In the business world there is a freedom and an opportunity that have rarely come to any race so recently out of slavery The Negro retail merchant can buy his goods from the wholesale dealer on as favorable terms as the white retail merchant can The Negro business man can borrow money at the local bank just as readily as the white business man can The best white people in the South are just as ready to purchase from the Negro merchant as from the white business man. With all that I have mentioned in this country the Negro enjoys freedom of opportunity to get education freedom of religious worship, to a degree not afforded any similar group of our people in the world. With all of these fundamental elements favorable toward our industrial and business success, as a race in the United States let us not I repeat, make the mistake of dwelling over much upon the things that we have not but rather glory in the opportunities that we possess for the making of the most of these opportunities will bring us more openings and more opportunities. The more we advertise to the world that discriminations are made against us, the more will discriminations multiply. Let us as in some degree representing the present prosperity and the future hope of our race, go out from this meeting at extremes that each of us will missionary this community—a missionary in teaching the masses to get property, to be more thrifty more economical and resolved to establish an industrial or business enterprise whenever possibility presents itself. To him that hath shall be given To him that hath influence will be given more influence To him that hath power will be given more power or To him that hath credit in the financial world will be given more credit. To him that hath money will be given more money To him that hath land will be given more land To him that hath houses will be given more houses To him that hath stores and banks will be given more stores and banks. To the race that hath many business enterprises will be given more enterprises Let us go out then to start everywhere the direction of getting not with the idea of selfishly keeping, with the idea that in proportion as we secure the substantials of life we shall be in position to add much to the larger life of our race. I have referred to the importance of keeping the bright side of our race before the public. In what I now say I may be guilty of seeming contradiction, nevertheless the matter is so important and so fundamental to industrial and business success that I cannot fail to call attention of the public to it. I have referred frankly and plainly to the duty of the ten millions of colored people in fitting themselves for industrial and commercial usefulness I want to be equally plain and frank in referring to the responsibility resting upon those whose duty it is to enforce the law- to protect life and property, for there can be little progress in securing property or in business unless life and property are safe in every part of the Nation. I call attention to the murdering of colored people at this time because the habit has so grown upon the nation that a murder or lynching of this kind attracts little attention. Be it remembered, too, in connection with these recent murders, that not one in ten has any connection with alleged assaults upon woman I speak with sorrow and with a sense of shame and humiliation when I call attention to the fact that with in a period of thirty days during the present summer no less than twenty six colored men were wantonly murdered by mobs—shot down or hung as if they had been so many wild beasts In one case, that near Palestine, Texas, the sheriff of the county, a Southern white man, says "Men were going out killing Nokroes as fast as they could find them, and so far as I could learn without any just cause. Titos Negroes had done no wrong that I could discover." What a blot upon our Christian civilization does such lawlessness indicate. What a blush of shame does such barbarous acts bring to every American citizen Let this truth never be forgotten, that whatsoever a man or Nation sows, that it shall also reap. The white man who murders a Negro today and goes unpunished is likely to murder a white man tomorrow and go unpunished. There is but one remedy that will stand the test of the centuries, the enforcing of all laws in every section of the United States without regard to class, race or color. These outbreaks on the part of mobs and murderers not only result in the moral degradation or the whole people, but disturb and serve a backdrop to business in an growing degree among both races. I plead everywhere for equal and enactment of the laws, not only in the interest of the colored race, but in the interest of all races, for without law enforcement, our civilization will disappear, and 'we shall as a Nation, become an object of sideline at the hands of other nations. We are making progress. Perhaps never before have the Negroes added to their wealth so rapidly as they are at present. The Negroes of Georgia, during the present year, added 47,704 acres to their land holdings, and increased the value of their land holdings $63,532. During the past year the Negroes of Georgia bought over $60,000 worth of city and town property. They paid taxes last year on 1,536,766 acres of land. Through their real estate purchases and other means they added in twelve months $1,430,000 to their taxable property. Negro property in Georgia was as assessed in 1909 at $28,272,500 The Negroes of Virginia also during the year 1909 added 63,452 acres to their land holdings and increased their land values $175,740. They bought $360,000 worth of city and town property, and increased the total amount of their property holdings during the twelve months $971,994 The Negroes of Virginia are now paying taxes on 1,617,500 acres of land and last year paid taxes on $26,600,280 worth of property. From the recorded progress that is being made in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, where records are kept of Negro property) owning it is conservatively estimated that the Negroes of the United States are adding from twelve to fifteen millions of dollars to their wealth each year and that their total wealth is now not far from $600,000,000 Besides, using a very conservative figure, I think it is safe to say that the colored people in New York and Brooklyn own real estate valued at more than three million dollars and in addition to this have over two million dollars deposited in the banking institutions of Greater New York. As indicating a very small proportion of the business enterprises that have been started by our people with in a few months I mention the incorporation of the Lee Wholesale Chemical and Drug Co. of Albany and Atlanta Ga. In the same connection I mention Ashburn Brothers of Franklin Va. who have recently started a shirt manufacturing company with a capital of $20,000 and employing forty persons with a daily capacity of fifty dozen shirts. At but hum N. C a textile mill for the manufacture of hosiery has been started with a capital of $50,000 in November last the Rocky Mount Silt Manufacturing Company, at Rocky Mount N. C with a capital of $50,000 began the business venture of manufacturing silk. Ten years ago before the starting of the Business League there was not a single Negro bank in the State of Mississippi. At the present time Mississippi has eleven Negro banks. When this Business League was organized in Boston ten years ago there were only four Negro banks in the United States, at the present time there are fifty six Negro banks. But while we are making progress while we are organizing business enterprises of one kind and another there are not a few signs that indicate that the time has come when we must speak plainly regarding certain mutly practices which are too fast multiplying among our people in the organization of these business enterprises I refer to the dispositions on the part of certain individuals and certain organizations to try to get something without paying the price the price of hard, carnest, honest effort. The fundamental difficulty in many cases is that individuals are not satisfied to begin in a small, humble simple way and gradually develop their business into something that is larger, that is to grow naturally and logically. It is many times better to start in the humblest way, the simplest way and gradually gathen experience as one grows in business than it is to start with a big flourish of trumpets a complicated business enterprise that can only live a few days for want of capital or want of experience. There are too many organizations sprouting up here and there that have for their object the deception of the public the cheating of the public, and especially the common, ignorant masses, out of their hard earned money. This deception is usually practiced by individuals or by organizations parading themselves before the public as representatives of the enterprise to make poor people rich people within a day or year, that are in short going to make something out of nothing. It is a practice that is too fast growing, that of selling worthless shares of stock and other securities that have nothing back of them except promises and talk. It is a practice that should be condemned by all honest people. Every time one of these false and deceiving organizations gets a dollar from the masses which is either squandered, stolen or never returned to the investor, it is made harder for legitimate business enterprises to succeed. That practice of promising to pay large dividends on money invested in these fake enterprises should cease. If it does not our people will be retarded many years in their business and industrial progress. We must make it understood from this time forth that the members of the Business League will stand for nothing but that which has an honest and straightforward purpose back of it. At our session held last year in Louisville, Ky. an effort was started to bring about the celebration in 1913 of the 114th anniversary of the freedom of the race. The bill recommended by President Taft providing for a preliminary commission to investigate and report upon this subject failed of passage at the last session of Congress. Those in charge of the measure promise at the next session of Congress to get a bill through making a direct appropriation toward the expenses of a celebration of some character. Whether such a bill passes Congress or not, the agitation of the subject on the part of the Negro Business League and other organizations as well as by individuals has accomplished great good, and whether Congress assists or not, in some form, in some manner, we as a race should not fail to call attention in 1912 to the progress that our race in the United States has made during its fifty years of freedom. At our last annual gathering, recognition was made of the fact that the secretary of this organization. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, had been made a member of the American Commission to Liberia. It is now fitting that this League should rejoice with our race over where that as a result of the work and recommendations of the Commission to Liberia and as a result of the deep interest and practical help of President William H. Taft and Secretary Knox of the State Department, plans have been matured by which Liberia is to receive a loan of a millipop and a half dollars from this Department, which it will believe will result in putting firmly upon its feet financially, and we hope in other constructive directions. In the last analysis the fitness of a race for freedom, the ability of a race to make progress is tested by whether or not individual members of the race have the ability in their own communities, in their own surroundings, to sink personal, solitary ambitions in the interest of bringing about the general good and larger progress of the whole people. Too often progress is delayed and blundered by reason of the fact that the strong men and women in each community and it impossible to throw aside to put their feet upon their personal views and petty quarrels and enter into strong constructive, progressive work for the benefit of their whole community. Let us every where teach the world this lesson that the individual members of the Negro race may differ in personal matters in social matters in political matters in religious matters, but at the same time that we have the ability when the time comes to sink all of these and unite on any project that has for its purpose the best benefit of the whole community or the whole race. Army to Have 87,000 The consisted strength of the regiments of the army during the present fiscal year has been fixed approximately at 87,000 men under the arrangement of estimator by Major General Leonard Wood chief of staff and approved by President Taft. General Wood's plan is to use the army appropriation for soldiers and materials and make reductions in other directions. The new chief of staff wants an army of fighting men equipped for business and says he is willing to make sacrifices in other ways to obtain it. Refused Kiss, Shot Girl Twice. Ruth Richa ds aged eightteen years, daughter of a farmer at Warren Cornerors N Y. is lying dangerously wounded from bullets fired into her mouth and left lung by Frank Ranney, of Buffalo The girl and Ranney went riding to together. They quarreled Ranney said, and he accused the girl of attempting to break their engagement to marry because of her fondness for a rival. Ranney confessed that he then put his arm around the girl's neck and tried to kiss her and when she resented his action he shot her, first in the mouth and then through the lungs. After the shooting the girl, afraid to tell her family, crawled to her room, where she was found Ranney drove to Lockport and gave himself up to the police.

Choctaw Explains How $3,000,000 Land Lawyer Got Signatures—Tribe Angry Over Government's Delay. Jacob L. Hamon charged that Congressman Charles E. Creager Republican of Oklahoma, under the gudge of loans, had attempted to obtain large sums of money from J F McMurray after Creager had introduced a bill in congress providing for a sale of the Indian lands. Hamon brought his charges in demanding the recall of Creager to the witness stand before the congressional investigating committee at MacAlester Okla. for cross examination. I want to show said Hamon that Creager demanded large sums of money from McMurray after that bill was introduced by Creager." The bill Hannon referred to provided for the sale of surface lands to private individuals and for the sale of the mineral deposits to the government Under the arrangement McMurray with his contracts it was asserted would have obtained 10 per cent of the money paid by the government. How the contracts were procured by which according to Senator Thomas P Gore of Oklahoma $300,000 in "in attorneys fees was to be made out of the sale of lands given to the Indians by the government was related before the investigators. W T Hollman a Chotaw Indian testified he had been employed by J F M-Murray holder of the contracts, to go out among the Indians of Okla homa and induce them to sign the documents. At the same time Hollman related he was paid a dollar a head for obtaining contracts appointing McMurray to act in tax cases in this way McMurray procured 10,000 contracts to sell land The terms were 10 per cent 'atorney fees' or $3000 profit for McMurray and his associates. To promote this deal in congress Senator Gore contends he was offered a $25 000 or $30 000 bribe by Jacob L. Hamon Hollman testified; that he himself had signed the 10 per cent contract because he in common with her in Indiana had been discouraged over the government's promise to sell the land I would have given 2. per cent to McMurray and Holman if he could have got us the money quickly. He said he believed some of the Indiana would be willing to give McMurray 75 per cent McMurray Makes Reply. In a statement to the committee and without going on the stand, McMurray declared that the contracts came to him originally against his desire. He said the Indians at a war council had demonstrated their impatience at the government's alleged slowness in the selling of the land and had called upon him to take the job at 10 per cent which he did with reluctance. McMurray will go on the stand later. Questioned further Hollihan testified if was the belief of the Indians that their property was worth from $30,000 to $10,000 and the understanding that McMurray was to get 10 per cent of this. "It is actually the belief among Indians that they have to pay somebody else to get what the government and rightfully belongs to them." That has brought the belief that they have to give up a good portion of what they get in an uneasy fee. D C McCurtain a Chicopee Indian and attorney for his tribe went on the stand and reiterated his charges that McMurra in 1996 in the lobby of the Raleigh hotel at Washington offered him a $2500 bribe to withdraw trivial opposition to old contracts which were disapproved by President Roosevelt. Hamon's Testimony Attacked Jacob Homan again figured momentarily in the testimony. He had been charged by Senator Gore with having offered a $25,000 bribe in Mc Murray's behalf but in his own testimony said he went to Washington concerning Governor Haskell's indictment in the Muskogee town lot cases and had nothing to do with, Mc Murray. C B Stewart testified he was at torney for Governor Haskell and he had not heard of Hammons being so employed. As indicated by Green McCurtain chief of 18,000 Chuckaws and by Holl man the Indians have taken the position that they signed the contracts he cause they had become discouraged with what they call the tardiness of the government in disposing of the land and giving them the proceeds so that they might purchase farm implements and improve the allotments on which they live. The mineral wealth of the extra land was estimated by the United States geological survey at $160,000,000. One old Indian who favored the 10 per cent McMurray contracts said, "Are you going to let us since just because we have agreed to give a white man a piece of our pie?

Foltered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. as second class matter THE MAYOR AND THE LAW The situation at Newport News Va. where colored residents were or dared to move by unknown persons, who placarded the property of these colored people with crudities giving them so many hours in which to move back over the dead line established by these self-constituted authorities is interesting to say the least. It now seems that these colored people did not cross this dead line on their own motion, but were induced so to do by white property owners who had vacant houses on their hands. The report from Newport News says that Mr Moss Shepherd, white owner became so much aroused by the warnings given the colored tenants that he called at the office of Mayor Jones and asked him to protect these colored citizens. He replied that there was nothing that he could do and he advised him to consult a lawyer Mr Shepherd then called on City Attorney Mussie and he was told that the matter did not come within his jurisdiction as City Attorney and he would have to look elsewhere for aid. This is rather an embarrassing condition of affairs and it presents a question that demands an answer. In plain words, it means, to what extent is a Mayor of a city responsible for the safety of the lives and property of citizens of a community and how far can he go in preserving the order within the confines of the municipality over which he presides? It seems to us that under the laws of this state the City Attorney is the legal adviser of the Mayor as well as of the City Council and when the Mayor informed a taxpayer and a property owner that he should consult a lawyer as to his rights in the premises, that he took a "short cut" in telling him that he did not choose to interfere in the matter or aid him in his embarrassing predicament. In all of the cities of this Commonwealth, the Police Department is under the control of the Mayor and the Chief must obey his orders. Where lawlessness is rampant or mob law imminent the Mayor has the right and the authority to direct the Chief of Police to assign special officers for this special service and to prevent a threatened outbreak. We do not look to the Constitution of the United States any more for our rights. The Bill of Rights, of Virginia, and the Constitution of this state and expounded by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia are good enough for us. Article 1, Section 1 reads: "That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or direct their posterity, namely the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." It seems to us that this cover the Newport News case. As Mayor Jones is sworn to support this section of the Constitution of Virginia it was his duty to find a way to do it and not to send a gentleman of Mr. Shep bird's sand and cabbage to hunt some to tell him his rights. I the promises. But then Mayor Jones knows more law than the writer certat. He should know more and we are interested to know by what process to hopes to protect the lives of the colored citizens and the property of the white citizens in his community. Section of this same constitut total get it ready. That was the merits or ought to distribute for the common benefit the protection and security of the population or community of all variations modes and forms of gov- ernment that is lost which is ca- lled of producing the greatest de- tail of affairs, mass and safety and most officerally secured against the damage of insidiousiation and we also government shall be proposed a majority of the com- munity to indulge in amenable and defensible rights to reform all that so the Newport New cow. It is of the cotton re- views of the color is recognized to of primary importance. Let us know whose parties had practiced the dresses of the white women in the fashionable part of Newport News. Suppose that com- plaint had been made to the Mayor and the city attorney who be- loves that he would have told these counsors to act a lawyer or consult one. The first thing these white men would have done would be to employ a repeating rule and a repeating shot gun, and the next present found peering houses with threats of the destruction if the white citizens fell. I prove out would have got the contents of one or both of the two who can blame them. This is the way that white men and this is why the race today stands at the top of the ladder of keeping it people of the civilized world. Self-liability is a good asset. Those colored folks who decided to remain on the other side of the dead time in Newport News, especially when white people invited them to remain there and other white people invited them to get out will aid in solving a let it happen. We do not advise this whole sale moving into white lofts for the sake of causing trouble. There is no noise in doing this but where living conditions are such as to necessitate the broadening out of the residential lines in a community and white men encourage it let colored people and their ground and give and take the consequences. If the Mayor of the city cannot find a way to protect the black as well as the white residents of a community the law permits either class to protect themselves. Any lawyer removal as much as three degrees from a shuster knows this and it only requires a little nerve and practice to sleep as soundly in one of these houses on one side of the "dead line" as on the other.

When Bodies Were Discovered by Neighbor of Woman. The bodies of Dr Russell Campbell and Mrs Ira Morton were found at the home of the Morrisonis in New Germantown Perry county Pa. Monday morning. A neighbor discovered the body of the woman living across the front door step and further search revealed the body in his room. Husky examination showed that the woman had died from internal hemorrhages resulting from an operation. The theory is that Dr Campbell performed the operation some time during the night and on discovering the fatal result killed himself. His death was due to exsude of potassium. Dr. Campbell was twenty four years old and a graduate of the Medico Chiurgical college in Philadelphia. He was a son of Dr. Hans Campbell a well known physician of Path Valley Franklin county. A few months ago the young man went to New German town and set himself up in practice taking a room at the home of the Ira Morison a local dealer in cattle. Morison went to Dry Run fourteen miles two and a half hours on Saturday to attend a cattle and to cattle and remained a Sunday. He hastened home when notified of the tragedy. About the clock at night David Kramer a newbie thought he heard meaning in the Morrison house as he passed but as no light was visible he could hide he was mistaken. At 6 o'clock in the morning Luther Hog passed the Morrison home and saw two bare feet protruding from the hat of open from the Rent with the he was horrified to find the body of Mrs Morrison in her clothes and bathed in blood. She died of Hurry on to the house. Ray found the body of the young doctor in his room dead on the floor. Beside him was a partly empty vault of potassium. Dr Campbell hands were bloody and his shirt was spattered with blood. The instrument with which the operation had been performed on Mrs Morrison was found in such condition as to have no doubt of what had taken place. A comber's jury was hastily summoned and word was sent to District Attorney Rose who hastened to the court from New Bloomfield. The jury found a warrant to the effect that Mrs. Morrison had died from the 34 deaths of an operation and that Dr. Campbell had died from poison taken with suspicious intent as a result of the disastrous outcome of the operation. Mrs. Morrison was thirty-five years old. Dr. Campbell had been practicing at New Germantown only about six months. During all of that time he had boarded with the Morrison.

Bensational disclosures involving former high officials of the Illinois Central railroad in a conspiracy by which the Memphis Car company defrauded the railroad of hundreds of thousands of dollars, were made in Memphis, Tenn. The disclosures came when a decree was issued in the chancery court. H McCourt, general superintendent of the Southern lines of the Illinois Central and W. B. King, general superintendent of the Yazoo & Mississippi Railroad, it is stated, have made voluntary restitutions of $13,000 in cash. Mentioned in the decree as stockholders, also were the names of Frank B. Hardiman, general manager of the Illinois Central, William Renshaw, until May 1, 1908 superintendent of machinery; Joseph E Huker, assistant superintendent of machinery, and John M. Taylor, general superintendent of the Burnside shops Chicago. That a settlement had been made between the Illinois Central Railroad company and the Memphis Car company was evidenced by the entering also of the record of a deed in the register's office by which the car company transfers to the railroad all its property in this city. This transfer it is understood is about $200,000. The railroad guel for $300,000, alleging large fraud in the charges made against it for the repair of care and alleging that men in the road's employ had been in collusion with the Memphis Ca company.

The mother of Zehudaeus children Not little children but sons From comparing Matt 2' 15 58, with Mark 15 40 16. it appears that her name was Salame. The sons were James and John Mark 10 35. According to Mark the sons came making the request for themselves. This agrees with Matthews for also came with her sons. The Request and Its Motive What wilt thou? It was best for them to spread out in the clear light their secret thoughts and hopes. Such a statement is often more than half a cure. Grant that these my two sons may sit the one on the right hand and the other on the left in the kingdom. That is in the two chief places of honor. The first place of honor was the right hand of the sovereign, the second the left hand. Ye know not what ye ask. They knew not the greatness of the favor they asked how blessed beyond their highest dreams it was to sit on the right hand of the Son of God how radiant the glories of that kingdom were to be 'Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of' Have you counted the cost? Can you pay the price? "They say unto him We are able" The language of assurance somewhat overweening for it was the assurance not wholly of faith but partly of ignorance of themselves and of the future They fed with the other disciples, in the night of the arrest. Jesus showed them the only true way and turned them from the path they thought led to the desired good, but which led them away from the goal. They drank the Lord's cup. Judas alone took the wrong way, and utterly failed of his hopes. True Greatness How to Make the Most of Life - Va 24 28 "And when the ten heard it they were moved with indignation" This shows that they had the same feelings as the two brothers. It is our own faults that we most condemn when we see them mirrored in others The selfish think others are selfish, the feeble think others are in bad temper They were all in one boat They all alike needed the instruction which Jesus proceeds to give "But Jesus called them unto him" Their controversies in the last verse had been carried on askle and apart from Jesus. Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles I.e. this is the plan in the worldly kingdoms in distinction from his spiritual kingdom "Exercise dominion over them. Lord it over them, exercise tyrannical and arbitrary power. Not for the good of the governed, but for the advantage of the rulers themselves as the French king said, voicing the old idea of kingship "I am the state" The Need of Opened Eyes - Va 29 34 There is not room to enter upon this section of the lesson in detail, and to do so, even if we could, would detract from the great lesson we have been studying Jesus and his disciples have crossed the Jordan and reached Jericho on the way to Jerusalem. The True Greatness 26 "that it shall not be so among you." The whole principle of Christ's kingdom is the exact opposite of the usual worldly plan. Nearly all the etils that have come to the church have come through a disregard of this command—a desire to be honored and to rule, rather than to serve and help. "Huii whosoever will be great among you" Jesus does not forbid the desire to be great; but only the desire for selfish greatness. The wish to be greater than others is a wrong ambition. The wish to be as great, as good as possible is right, but has its dang is A GIRL'S WARDROBE ALWAYS NEEDS SOME ADDITIONS IN MIDSUMMER Dame Fashion Decrees That the Children Shall Not Be Too Elaborately Dressed in Hot Weather or White Frocks A growing girl's wardrobe always needs some additions in midsummer time, for the hot weather. If nothing else demands a change of style and material. The mammas have to look up reasonable effects for those supplementary dresses which fast- 25 growing up in fall on vacation or for golf games at the beginning of summer or the mail box, we will do well to consider the last trend of fashion. This is the classic boots, yellow shoes and with the distinct of wash materials or even more sticks of a child for school. That shalt not be too fine. Is Darry Fashion a first command in the weather to the child's lower waist placed White frocks in the darkest flavor or also she proclaims a course of a flower dellacy and a cinnamon trimmings and would be cut in on a smaller scale, for dolls. The boots are purple doll and hats are now distinguish all the heat garments in every department worn by well dressed little girls In both wash materials and summer silks there are now fabulous bargains to be found in the shops, some of these in the very newest textures, whether shown in remnants or in the piece. French perleis in a soft, fine weave have dropped to the low price of 15 cents a vard silk warp dotted chiffons likewise a cotton material are going at 25 cents swiss pen ginette which is an English fabric much used for the little imported frocks also sells for 25 cents. This is 45 inches wide so a very small quantity would be needed for the simple little frock Polka dot handkerchief muslin sometimes with delicate flower sprays over the dotting which is a delight fully cool fabric in 18 cents a yard, and there are silk and cotton crapes of French manufacture which may be made most attractive with ribbon trimmings, priced 28 cents the yard. These are in every color of the rainbow, and they may be trimmed with white lace or have the ribbon garniture match. Indeed there is no excuse for miasy not having a fine little hot weather frock if her mother can see for all the models are simple to an anatom fishing degree, and with a little taste a very small expenditure will turn out the right thing The dress shown in the illustration which has a Gibson bodice with Dutch neck and a skirt in box plaits is here made of a blue and white percale with a little white linen treated to simple hand embroidery on the bodice. Allover Hamburg embroidery how ever could very well be used here, or the waist trimming could be made in a plain color. For a girl of ten 6½ yards 22 inches wide would be required and since very fine little percale may be had for 12½ cents, and really beautiful in section for 15, it can be seen how cheap the dress would be. A heavy linen or a silk with some body would likewise respond to this treatment lace or a contrasting silk trimming the latter texture and Hamburg embroidery the former. Mary Dean Panama Hata Panama hats have charms that insure their long continuance in the land so long as the climate remains as it is, for they seem to exhale the spirit of relaxation and peace that makes summer enjoyable. This year for their adorning, there are new hand painted India scarfs that are beautifully delicate in tone, besides an endless variety of lovely printed fabrics. NEW IDEAS IN TABLE DECORATION AND PLACE CARDS. How the Hostess May Easily Evolve Something Attractive for Lunch-cons, Teas and Dinners Connected With Marriage Every hostess takes pride in investing novel and pretty decorations for her luncheons teas and dinners, and she takes special pride when the guest of honor is a young bride or bride-to-be. It is never a difficult matter to evolve something attractive for a festivity connected with marriage, for there are so many charming designs that can be used emplids, hearts wedding bells, wedding rings and the like At a recent hambone given for an engaged girl the color scheme was pink and white pink being the favorite color of the bride-elect. The hostess was the latter a closest friend and all the guests were intimates of the two which made the hambone a very jolly affair. The hambeller above the table was fainted with pink and white tulle, and suspended from it was a large golden hoop simulating a wedding ring. From the hoop streamers of pink and white ribbon stretched to each cover held in place there by tiny cuffs each cuff bearing a card with the name of the guest to whom the place had been assigned. Bride roses filled a cat glass bowl in the center of the table were clustered in vase and bowls on sideboard and mantel and nodded in banks from the low window seats. Yellow lunch boxes are very appropriate when the gift of honor is a bride's yellow lunch box sunshine. At each luncheon in early summer last year a wedding ball covered with folded daisies with yellow hearts and black eyes S balls with yellow petals long above the table. A big flat dish of old brass dish with yellow lady's slippers good in the center of the table and a wreath of daisies and sunflowers at the center of the table just inside the party lady's festoon stretched from the center to the four corners of the table and daisies and black eyes S balls and tall feathery grasses were tucked on the man's elbow and tucked in earthworm pots of quaint and unusual shapes. The place cards at this luncheon were they yellow sash slippers filled with ripe the little card with the name on it half hidden in the rhyme. Other pretty place cards for an agreement or bearded ladies are hand painted dresses showing a girl's head turned to the right with a girl's peeping through a design or twin hands. They are arrows. A woman with a skirt in watercolour and a coat in a miniature invention can be painted the center for a lunch conversation and knot the tie and fanes of her dress.

SMARTNESS OF SIMPLICITY Secret of the Woman, Whose House, Appearance and Conversation Create Best Impression. Think of the woman whose house, whose appearance, whose conversation creates the best impression and you will realize that absolute simplicity is the secret. Remember this in select- ing your summer clothes, or furnish- ing your summer home also when you meet strangers on your summer vaca- tion. Unfortunately, simplicity is not cheap. You will pay more for the bat of simple lines, the stock that is of exquisitely dainty embroidery and sheerness of material, than you will for something more ornate and dashing. If you wish to pass a woman who knows, you will no more overload your back than you will your digestion. Better a few things of irreproachable cut and quality than an elaborate wardrobe of faunting finery. It will doubtless mean having your clothes made to order or weary rounds of the shops in search of the simple, but it pays. It is not always possible to have the house simple. If you rent your landlord's taste is sure to be fancy and the fixtures and decorations will wring your heart. The furniture is up to you. There are nowadays so many good copies of artistic old pieces that there is no excuse for the hideous display of houses furnished in the middle of the last century and later. Adopt a simple scheme of decoration for your entire house and make everything bought conform to it. This does not need the training of a professional decorator any woman who makes a study of simplicity and keeps her eyes open for bargains in that line can achieve it. These three rules go far in the right direction. Stick to good lines of the period chosen do not over-read and buy only the best though it must be a piece at a time with long wait be tween. Simplifyity of manner is the crown- ing touch—the real you. The rest is but the outer shell a matter of train- ing or perhaps of a skilled decorator or clever modiste. Do not post, do not be affected, above all do not boast You may not realize it, but in meeting strangers the simple easy, sincere manner makes a much better impress- on with the right people than alas much manner or great assumption of place and power FROCK FOR YOUNG GIRL 1 This dainty frock for a young girl of about sixteen years is of white muslin in princess style elaborately made with fine tucks, English embroidery and valenciennes lace. It is finished with a deep flounce of the English embroidery. The attractive hat is also of muslin, the soft crown entirely fashioned of the embroidery with draperies of soft pink satin ribbon. Utilizing the Dutch Collar A pretty way of using the deep, round lace or embroidery Dutch collars is to renovate shirt waist with them. Blouses always wear out around the neck first and are often discarded solely on this account. When this is so, put on the waist aft or cutting away the band collar only and then lay on the deep collar Have some person pln all around the lower edge of it to the walat. Then baste and carefully sow. Afterward cut away the material undermouth the collar and sow hooks and eyes to the edges in the back. A stock collar may be added if preferred Fashions for Boys. An occasional suit in heavy ponyes is seen, even for the boy of ten, and this, too, is self-trimmed and finished with the strictest tallow effects, as a first-class outing shirt for a man would be. The waist which older boys are best pleased with has a center box plait, and one or more pockets. A heavy leather belt, with large buckle and a soft tie, often a Windsor, are the usual accompaniments to such suits. Low, rolling collars are provided for the boy of 5 of 7, but a high turn-over form is preferred for the older boy—Harpor's Bazar. Noose Bleed.

Baltimore, Md., August 10—Joseph Gant, better known as Joe Gans, the colored fighter, who was once champion Lightweight pugilist of the world, died at 8:08 o'clock this morning or tuberculosis, at the home of his foster parents, 1026 Argyle Avenue. The old master, after battling three months against death, wont gamely to his fate. Gans was conscious until a half-hour before he died. The ex-champion spoke his last word to Kid North, the California fighter, who helped condition him for most of his championship battles. At 7:30 this morning Joe called the "Kid" to his bedside, and grabbing his hand said: "Kid, be good; Martha will teach you to-morrow what to do." With this Gans closed his eyes and began gasping for breath. North, seeing that the end was near, immediately sent for Dr. Jay, the attending physician. The ex-champion passed away before medical aid reached his bedside. PICTURESQUE FIGHTER In all the annals of pugilism there is no record of a more remarkable or picturesque fighter than that of Joo Gans. For nearly twenty years he was almost constantly in the prized ring, and up until his final defeat by Battling Nelson in 1805, was justly Hooded one of the most scientific, aggressive and game fighters that ever donned the gloves. Gans often declared he did not know his exact age. He rocked that 1874 was about the year of his birth. He began fighting in an amateurish way about 1880. For the following ten years he engaged in over 125 battles, easily defeating men of minor reputation. Had he been directed night at the time he would have easily forged to the front and became champion years before he finally achieved that coveted distinction. The trouble, was, glans, became mlr, ed up with his mansager, in a series of 'laydown', or fake, light, in which the might, routely, live; gnasal the victory, but in which—as he a wary said, of his mansager, to tollle tion—the deliberately permitted himself to be beaten. In consequence for a period the fighting public would have none of him. Try as hard as his might, to sign up a fight, there was always a anger and a suspicion that he would throw it. About five years before his death however, he did such excellent and palpably, "square" work that the animals against him had in a great part vanished, and his great victories were received with the entire approbation of the ring fans. MEETS BATTLING NELSON. At the age of thirty-four—at least eight years past the time when most prize-fighters have received their quits—Gans fought within the one year the two most bloody battles of his career—his two fights with Battling Nelson. For gameness and skill, these fights stand without a parallel. Gans, after having been knocked out by Terry McGovern eight years previously, surprised the entire fighting world by a "come back" that has often been declared impossible. After that defeat, during the years 1901 and 1908, he mowed everything down that stood before him in the pugilistic field. Frequently he weighed down to 133 pounds, although it was a turrice strain, but was always willing to try to make the weight in order to not miss the fight. At one time he was both lightweight and welterweight champion. He was considered by the greatest analyzers of prize fighting to be the best combination of hitter, boxer and ring general that over essayed the game. Although a negro of humble origin, he was a model of consideration and politeness. He never sought the limelight, kept among his own race and was the personalization of cheerfulness. He began his bread-winning career in a Baltimore fish market. He saved a good part of his ring earnings and invested profitably in a Baltimore hotel, which he said frequently paid him all he needed. After his last battle with Battling Nelson Gans wont West, and reports came East almost immediately that the beating he had received and the strain to train down had undermined his constitution Gans denied the reports, but sporting men who met him declared him to be but a shadow or his former self. Promoter Declines and Bout Arranged With Kaufman Is Called Off. Philadelphia, Pa., August 11.—The six-round contest between Sam Langford and Al Kaufman, scheduled for tonight on the grounds of the Philadelphia National Loosau Baseball Club, was today called off, because of a disagreement over the division of the receipts. Langford, who refused to fight, forfeits $250 which will be divided between Kaufman and Harry E. Edwards, of this city, the promoter or the bout. After the bout was postponed last evening, Joo Woodman, Langford's manager, notified Edwards that Langford would not fight Kaufman tonight, but was willing to sign again for a bout next Wednesday night. The reason given was that Langford would not be in the best condition after a lay-off of twenty four hours, and that his reputation was too valuable to risk that way. A hasty conference was held, and when Billy Delaney, Kaufman's trainer, ridiculed the excuse given, Woodman stated that the negro would agree to go on tonight if guaranteed $7,650. The men had agreed to fight for a percentage. Edwards asked time to consider the matter, and today announced that he would not agree to the proposition, and called the bout off. An effort was made to have another heavyweight meet Kaufman, but Edwards would not listen to it. Edwards was incensed at the turn in affairs, and declared that Langford deliberately crawled out of the match. HAS LANGFORD GOT ONE CHANCET Johnson Has Weight and Everything Else Against Him. What chance has Sam Laugford, a diminutive light heavyweight, with Jack Johnson, a full-sized champion, weighing 210 pounds at his best? That's the next question right now raised because of the persistence with which the dummy Boston black is chasing Johnson for a battle. When all things are considered, H does not look as if any small man—small in a comparative sense—is ever going to win over Johnson. And Langford is too small in all ways to be regarded as rest contours or dreadful skill. All it brings is a strength skill, taking power and all the rest—it will take a man as big as Johnson and a rough worker to even begin to beat the man from Galveston. Johnson met Langford once. The match was rought off in Chelsea, just outside of Boston, on April 20, 1906, and went the full limit of fifteen rounds. At the finish Johnson was given the decision because he had earned it by something like a city block. Langford was but a child in the big black's hand at that time, two years ago. Sam could not do a thing to him because of the size of his opponent and the length of the defense that stuck out in front of Sam's face when he attempted anything. What gives Joe Woodman, Langford's manager, the impression that Langford will 'do any better now than he did two years ago? JOHNSON MUCH IMPROVED. Langford has improved, he may tell us. Yet so as Johnson, and, better than all the improvement in the world, Jack has all the confidence in the world at the present time, and that with him means everything. It means the championship for a long time to come. Sam can hit a hard blow on a small weight. These same blows would not be so forceful and The Goose Girl By Harold MacGrath Better than "Graustark" or "Truxton King" HRENSTEIN is a mythical land but Harold MacGrath has breathed life into this story of love, adventure and romance.

Jack can sting like an adder, sting big follows into quick and decisive defoat. These blows would be even harder landed on Langford, because of Sam being so much lighter and with decreased powers of resistance in consequence. The Johnson punches, which didn't look so much, cut and tore Jeffries until one eye was completely closed. Such blows landed on Langford would be fatal in a hurry. It might take Johnson longer to land on Langford because of his extremo shittyness, but he would get him sooner or later and get him hard. JACK HAS GREAT DEFENSE. The Johnson defense is perhaps the greatest thing ever witnessed in the prince ring. Most of the prominent negro fighters of the day have this system of boxing down to some perfection, but none has it or can use it like Johnson does. It seems to be purely mechanical with him, so precise and machine-like is the working of those huge clibs and fists and shoulders. Johnson "picks' em off" almost before they are started from an opponent. Liku Joe Gana at his best, he has developed that system of constantly keeping an opponent off balance by reaching in and merely tapping him on the arms. There seems to be no such thing as an opponent setting for Johnson. Jack will not stand for it. He blocks with the open glove in marvelous fashion and is either inside or outside of the range all the time. Langford is a great little man, although he looks to weigh at least 175 pounds, and it is quite possible that he can beat any other man in the world—anybody but Johnson. Honors and Roles.

Johnson and Jeffries It is indeed a great thing to perform an act by which thousands of persons are benefited, and all manner of literature tell us, "the world at large has been unquestionably benefited by the deeds of great men." Some of them have left an everlasting impression upon their nation's history. Yet it does not seem to matter how wonderful a man's achievement, how widespread the flattery showered upon him following his success, or how satisfactory the applause of an enthusiastic world, the glamor wears off after a while, the reality seems to lose some of its attractiveness, and the triumph some of its brilliance. So it has been with the champions of the past, and must some day be the same with the champions of the present and the future. Why then, should there be so much malicious criticism, such bering condemnation of the present champion, the much talked and read of Jack Johnson? Officers and citizens of numerous cities have vied with each other in their efforts to prevent the presentation of the moving pictures, for fear of arousing racial bitterness; but who has taken up the fight against the innumerable pictures, being shown continually, porfraying every conceivable manner of plot and plan of the most heinous crimes? Who fears the result when all sizes and ages of youth are taught to steal and pick-pockets, while burglar, arson and murder share conspicuous places in the question? Write through daily paper, declared "the Fourth of July, the day of the birth of American Independence had been deacreated." Is the Fourth of July more sacred than the Sabbath? He deplores the fact that a prize-fight occurred on that day, yet, judging from his writing, that same individual would carry a malicious heart to church on the Sabbath, and refuse the Holy Communion if administered to him, by, or with his black brother. Another writer said "Johnson proved his superiority only in endurance and brute force. How absurd Johnson proved his superiority through points. It would have been well for Jeffries to have remembered in the beginning, specially the difference in their ages. No white man should become alarmed at the elevation or evolution of the black man, since no honest person of sound judgment, can justly doubt his ability to rise, and eminence is not governed by complexion. The Negro cannot rise, because he is black, neither can the white man stay on top because he is white, but by intelligence, industry, integrity and moral worth must every man rise. Let the white man rise as high as he can provided it is not done by wrong doing, others, and the world will numro him. Let the Negro rise as high as he can without injustice to another, and nations will recognize him. Johnson won the championship because of his practical judgment, his undeniable energy, his cool headed conviction which he had the courage to follow. His achievement brought joy to thousands of anxious adherents, who were deeply intertwined in his undertaking, and hopeful of his success. Among them his own dear mother. Deeds, not words, must prove the verdict of the Negro's capability and Johnson was aware of the fact. Heredity.

F. Puryear and W J. James for fighting in the shod of the Luck & Smith livery stable, Scott's addition, West Broad Street, where they were employed. Hicks's skull was fractured in the fray and on account of his nervous condition, it is not yet known when the trial will be held. "Squire J. T. Puryear was called from his downy couch about 4 o'clock Sunday morning by a telephone message from W. J. James, who lives near the livery stable in Bristol, telling him that there was trouble, and plenty of it, going on at the stables and an officer was very much in demand. "Squire Puryear called his brother, B F Puryear, who is an officer of the law, and together they went to the scene of action On arriving at the stable, they found Mr. James holding the two grooves at bay with a shotgun. As soon as the officer appeared Allen made a dash for the back window of the shed in which the fight occurred, jumped out, leaped two fences and took to the tall timbers. Several shots were fired at Allen by the officers and after a chase of three hundred yards or more they captured him. He was then sent to Hertford county jail, and Dr. Marvin Nuckols was called to examine Hicks. Dr. Nuckols found that Hick's skull had been fractured by a large rock with which Allen and struck him. The wound is a rather serious and aggravating one, but Dr. Nuckols says he does not think it will provoke fatal Hicks will not be in condition for trial for some time, how ever, and in the meantime awaits in Hertford jail with Allen. An examination after the prisoners had been taken to jail revealed that they are both ex-convicts, having been paroled on good behavior. Just how and why the trouble started has not yet been ascertained. Hicks declares that Allen started the "tracas" and Allen brings the same accusation against Hicks.—News-Leader. August 16, 1910.

Lord, let there be light To guide my erring feet! Yeah, but a star, to-night. Will be a blessing sweet The sunlight of Thy smile Is ever abroad, I know But off false lures beguile And blind the way I go Faith view my eyes to brook All intervening cloud. That I may sense Thy Book Through every nameless shroud O. Lord let there be light, And heal my eyes to see Thy beacon Lamp so bright That leads the way to Thee LUCIAN B WATKINS ST FAUL LAY Sermon. By Evangeline. Saul of Tarsus was born in Tarsus a city of Cilicia. It lay on both sides of the river Cydus, whose cool and swift waters were the pride of the city and bore traffic to and from the port of Rhema. Cilicia was an ancient division of Asia Minor now included in the Turkish province of Adana. It was made a Roman province by Pompey in 67 B. C. Saul's parents were of the tribe of Benjamin, and he inherited from his father the privileges of a Roman citizen. His native city Tarsus, was highly distinguished for learning and culture and it is therefore reasonable to suppose from his after career that he had been well instructed in his home city before his parents at a suitable age, sent him to Jerusalem to enter the school of the renowned Gamaliel where his education was completed Gamaliel was one of the most distinguished Rabbis of his age Saul profited by the instruction of Gamaliel and became learned in the law He elected to be guided by the principles of the stristest sort of the Pharisees and became a force defender of Judaism. So much for his early history. When apparently about thirty years of age we find him at Jerusalem, seemingly enjoying the full confidence of the leading men of the nation. The first glimpse we get in the Bible of this man Saul of Tarsus or St. Paul as he is best known to the Christian world is in the 25th verse of 7th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. This 7th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles describes the stoning to death by the Jews of St. Stephen and the circumstances leading up to that most notate tragedy. Here we see Saul apparently directing the assault upon St. Stephen and standing guard over the superfluous clothing of his assassins. Next we see this young man Saul in his zeal for Judaism or the Jewish church as it was before the coming of Christ, entering the quiet homes of the followers of Jesus and halting men and women, enclosing them into prison. Acts 3 $ Finally he goes to the high priest and requests of him Jetters to the synagogues of the city of Damascus giving him authority, if he found any who believed in Jesus Christ, to bind them and bring them to Jerusalem to be prosecuted according to the Jewish law. But, "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform". On his way to Damascus with a company of horsemen to enforce his authority and execute his mission Saul was met in the way by that great and mysterious power which he sought to overthrow. It overthrew him and all his designs and compelled the wrath of man to urge him. How the Lord Jesus met Saul on his way to Damascus is fully and graphically described in the 9th chapter of the Acts or the Apostles See also the 22d chapter of the Acts for St Paul's personal description of his own most miraculous conversion See the 25th chapter of Acts and read St. Paul's defense before King Agrippa, which is one of the finest specimens of oratory recorded in the Bible. This is a mere synoptical sketch of the life of this truly great man who, after his conversion to Christ Lianity became as zealous for its promotion as he had formerly been for its overthrow. He was honest in his support of Judaism because he believed it was right But when he became convinced to the contrary he was just as honest in his belief in and support of Christianity It would require many volumes to be adequately set forth in detail the mighty works of St Paul, his missionary travels, his preaching, his miracles, performed in the name of Jesus Christ, his epistles, his almost superhuman reasoning—proving beyond the peradventure of a doubt that Jesus of Nazareth is very Christ, the Son of God and that salvation is obtainable only through faith in Him and repentance toward God OUR CALENDARS FOR 1911.

New Orleans, Q.A., Aug. 14, 1910 Editor Richmond PLANET After reading your special correspondence on "Breaking from both political parties." I cannot but congratulate you and your paper on such headlines, that sooner or later will cause us to stop and think in those United States about our present and future conditions. Why in the southern states ex-humans who have driven Republic cans from their homes, some killed and murdered, some whipped to death, some sent to parts unknown by the cause of men who have the death of a Republican party in the South in their hands more especially in the State of Louisiana OFFICES GIVEN THEM Our post offices are all filled by Democrats. Has the Republican party gotten down to where it must stop to Southern Democracy after seven years of Rooseveltism? With a Republican Senate and House of Congress with enough majorities to inquire into the condition of affairs. Why have they placed us in a more precarious position than we ever were before. NORTHERN HELP WANTED I call upon the States of New York, Illinois Ohio Indiana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to resent the insult that has been offered and produced to us under the Roosevelt and Taft dominations in these United States I earnestly hope and desire that at the next National Convention that we will have enough colored votes to demand the seeing of the platform and to demand a hearing on the conditions of affairs Political educational or property qualifications are no good in the South, not in Louisiana any way Where are the Lincoln Grant Logan Blaine, Douglass, Garland and Hanna Republiana? PLAIN QUESTION Is the National Republican Party ready to turn over its destiny to the Southern Democracy exclusively as it has done in Louisiana? We have white Republicans in this state. If they want to build up a white Republican Party give them the spoils. But when we see them given to Democrats we know then the party is routed to the cure. I call upon the colored voters in the states named above to resent the insult offered us by our own party as our party has shut their eyes against what is being done to the Negro wing of it in the South REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE A Republican president house and Senate for nearly nine years have shut their eyes against what is being done in the southern states as against the disfranchisement of the Negroes in the Southern states. Our race holds the balance of power in the states of Illinois Indiana Ohio, New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Why not use it to some benefit rather than for a few political jobs that are not worth having. Let us make them come clean this Fall and also in 1912. Let us in this age lay a future foundation for our children. We are not treated as good as cattle by either political party. Let us make them both Root Hog or Die" Send all Independents to Congress this Fall. Encourage an Independent party for it is needed for the Republican party has grown to be a more bitter enemy to the Negro than the Democrat. Let us call for a hearing. Justice demands it Innocent spilled blood in the Southland is crying for Justice. Let our leaders in the North and West get active in building up a more prominent state of affairs. Our position is critical and in the language of Patrick Henry "Give us liberty or give us Death." Yours, H. H. JOHNSON 2214 Fourth Street New Orleans, La ```markdown ``` SOUTH RICHMOND STIRRED BY CRIME Fuller in Critical State From Wounds Inflicted by Coles. Practically everybody in South Richmond turned out yesterday afternoon following the capture of Waverly Coles, colored, who was caught by Captain Wright and Policeman Waymack fifteen minutes after he had perhaps fatally wounded Edward Fuller, also colored. The shot was fired from the rear, the ball passing through the lower part of the rear jacket, and the bullet was taken to the City Home Hospital, where he was operated on by Dr. C. R Robins, after receiving ambulance treatment by Dr. Harshburger. The wound is not necessarily fatal, but is very dangerous. Late last night the negro was roeding easily Captain Wright and Policeman Waymack happened to be near the tanyard at the further end of Twenty-second Street, when they heard the reports, and they immediately started an investigation. They found Fuller lying not far in the place where he had been shot, and there was just enough life left in him to point in the direction in which his assailant was endeavoring to make good his escape. He mumbled the name of his assailant, who is well known to the officers in South Richmond, and in a remarkably short time the fugitive was located under a house about half a mile from the scene of the shooting. Coles claims that Fuller owed him money, and that when he asked him for it he made a motion to his hip pocket. Coles insists that his pica will be self-defense. The pistol with which the shooting was done was found near the scene. Nelson's Hair Dressing can be secured from the agent, Mr. Joseph Evans. 2802 Webster Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. Bulletin, No. 4.
