Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVIII, NUMBER 48. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1911. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. By Lucian R. Watkins (After reading Bryant's Thanatopsis) "Lies down to pleasant dreams." Where buried years Are stillest, and the purest light of prayer Rifts through the darkness of the grave; and where The beauteous calm of peace has silenced fears And all is sanctified with sighs and tears! Where music murmurs low and Purls its air Of sweetness o'er the pulseless brow of Care; And unto weary souls a rest appears! The rest that soothes where life's meanings lie The deepest, and the mystic; gold-on thread Of faith is strangest; where the ten-lies eye Of love is clearest.—yea and hate is dead! The morn of heaven there in gleams shall break And sleepers to eternal day awake! Dead Body Still at Johnson's Morgue The dead man who has been in Funeral Director Johnson's morgue since October 8, 1911, is there now. The mother, accompanied by another, lady and two of Funeral Director A. D. Price's employees, visited the undertaking establishment of Mr. W. Isaac Johnson last Wednesday. No agreement was reached, and only the information was given that Funeral Director R. D. Brown, who is agent for Funeral, Director W. Isaac Johnson, had brought the remains to the Johnson morgue, where they were embalmed and where an expense of $1,000 was entailed. FUNERAL DIRECTOR BROWN'S STATEMENT. In conversation with Funeral Director R. D. Brown, of the firm of Brynwon Brothers, he stated that he was not agent for the firm of Wm. Isaac Johnson & Spons. He had gotten the body from the City Home and placed it in the morgue of Funeral Director Johnson, as he did not have a place of the kind in his own establishment. MONEY DEMANDED Mr W. I. Johnson had embalmed the remains and the hauling charges were $5.00. When these were paid the body would be turned over to the family. He seemed to resent the statement or inference that he was agent of any other undertaking firm than that of his own, declaring that the firm of Brown Brothers did an independent undertaking business. UNDERTAKER PRICE'S POSITION This places the contention now going on squarely between Funeral Director Price and Funeral Director R D. Brown, representing Brown Brothers. The contention of Funeral Director Price would naturally be that it is not a question between himself and R. D Brown or William Isaac Johnson, but one between them, and the family. WILL LIVE UP TO CONTRACT. He has the policy and consequently the money to bury the body, and he will carry out his part of the contract when the family make arrangements to secure the body and place it at his disposal in order. for him (so as he promised them he would do). WILL KEEP ALL WINTER In the meantime the body is in Wm. Isaac Johnson's morgue, where no one can go without his consent. Chief of Detectives McMahon called up Mr. Johnson over telephone last Wednesday and made inquiries concerning the case. All possible information was given to him. The Johnson states that he can keep the body all winter with little inconvenience, and that it will still be in a good state of preservation. Bring your Real Estate business to me, whether large or small. In other case, I give it my personal attent tion. B. A. CEFHAS, 602 North Second Street. Services at Fifth-Street Baptist Church. Rev. L. F. Sharp, of Berkeley, Va. will preach at Fifth-Street Baptist Church: Sunday October 28, 1921, morning and night. WANT RECEIVERS FOR G. F. U. O. OF TRUE REFORMERS Hampton Attorneys Make Plea to Judge Grinnan.--Depositions Taken.--Argument to be Heard Next Tuesday Morning. The conditions surrounding the True Reformers are constantly changing. The latest phase was the application by Attorney S. Gordon Cummings (white) and Attorney A. W. E., Bassetto, Jr. (colored) for the appointment of a receiver or receivers to take charge of the business of the Grand Fountain: United Order of True Reformers and wind up its affairs for the benefit of all the creditors: Rumors had been circulated that something would be done, but it was not until late last week that the facts linked out. These attorneys appeared in the Chancery Court of this city last Tuesday, Judgo Daniel Grippan presiding. CHANCERY COURT PROCEEDINGS. General Counsel J. Thomas Newsome and Attorney R. A. Layn Montague appeared for the Grand Monague, while Attorney Walter Sydnon appeared as representing other interests. There were few people in the courtroom, and by an understanding the case went over until Tuesday, October 31, 1911. In the morntime depositions will be taken in the 'interim, and work will be done by Mecca Montague and Montague Commissioner of Insurance Joseph Button was the star witness. Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin left the city Sunday morning. Between arranging the flagging interest of the members and fighting lawsuits, he finds but little time to rest. PLAIN PROPOSITIONS. The attitude of the Grand Fountain and its officers seems to be that if the creditors force the organization to the wall now they will "got nothing" while if they permit it to go on and do business they may get something. This makes the average man who wants his money halt and think twice, and even three times, before he moves once. Still there is a limit to even this procedure. The counsel in their bill or application for receivers, assert that favoritism is being shown by the present officials to the end that some of the creditors are receiving part payments on their claims, while some others are not recyling anything. They charge too, that negligence is being shown in not being to recover the property obligated to the bank by the Savings Bank by the former officials. As the present officials cannot proceed any faster than they are permitted to go by the Bureau of insurance and their attorneys, the new officials deny responsibility and allege that they have done the best they could under the circumstances. MUCH MONEY FLOWING. They also point to the increased revenue due to the fact that the financial receipts from the Richmond Division, which had dropped to less than $100.00, had now climbed up to $600.00. The receipts in other parts of the Order are also gratifying. The applicants for a receivership assert in their bill of particulars that the financial income is not sufficient to pay the running expenses of the Order and to meet the present increase, or rather the current death-calmals. This declaration will be a crucial one in the application, and will be the most dangerous declaration which the new management will be called upon to confront. If it be true that the receipts at present will not cover current death claims and office expenses, it would be out of the question for those creditors who hold over $140,000.00 worth of the Order's indebtedness to hope for any payments during this period. Worthy Master, W. R. Grimn and Grand 'Worthy Secretary J. Frank Douglas do not admit anything of the kind. They insist that if they are given time they will be able to place the Order on its Test again and begin the work of liquidating the acc WILL NAME RECEIVERS. The Tidewater attorneys make no secret of the fact that they intend to ask that Judge Dudley (white), of Hampton, and Attorney A. W. E. Bassette (colored), of the same city, be appointed to receivers. Judge Daniel Grinman is a remarkable judicial character. He is entirely unpretentious, and no one not knowing him and seeing him on the streets of this city would pick him out as the able jurist and walking legal encyclopedia that he is. He looks more like an humble official in some influential church, and he listens to thejmym and will but little to thejmym is thoroughly at home, and is respected by both bench and bar. Why the good Lord has "attracted" him with this, the most complicated and puzzling case of modern times, will no doubt ever remain a mystery. A PUZZLING TANGLE As the matter now stands, he has named receivers for the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. They have been antagonized by cross-suits by the organization, and now they are further antagonized by these attorneys from Hampton, Va., who are asking for receivers to further antagonize the other receivers. In the meantime court expenses and lawyers' fees are pilling up and the indications are that if the many litigation continue it takes the bulk of the money coming to the court to be pressed expenses which are being forced upon these fighting attorneys. There is one lone individual, however, who from a financial standpoint and from a standpoint of worry, has caught the worst part of the bargain THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S PRE- DICAMENT. As General Counsel, he is held down to his set salary of $100.00 per month, out of which he must pay his traveling expenses from Newport News to Richmond. As special counsel, he could get $100.00 as fee for one case and $250.00 fee for another case, and so on to the end of the chapter of the True Reformers, but he seen this money these "fat fees" going to other outside attorneys who demanded of him and the result is apparent—it is heart-breaking; still he struggles on. What is said of him is equally applicable to. Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin. A COMPARISON OF SALARIES. His predecessor, in office at one time drew $6,000.00 per year, while he consented-to accept $1,200.00. As a result, he has been worked night and day, and is yet travelling from one section of the country to the other, arousing an interest in the work. When he gets home the Grand Worthy Secretary shows him a mass of duns for money. The predecessor of the Grand Worthy Secretary-at one time received $2,000.00 per annum, while Mr. Douglas receives $1,260.00. His duns are magnified by his achievement and he awaits summons to court with his chief. This explains existing conditions around On Second street, and yet Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin confidently believes that daylight is just ahead. *WILL VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTE The Commissioner of Insurance in this State is much worried and embarrassed by the outlook, but he has stood by the organization, endeavoring to save the good name of the colored people of this community in one of the most complicated cases that has ever confronted them. The criminal prosecutions of the ex-occuars are expected, to come up in the Huiatings. Court of this city next month, and General Counsel J. Theos.

FUNN, Sect The Coronation in Motion Pictures Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 1911 Special to Richmond Planet At the 74th Regiment Armory in Buffalo, for the first time in America, the 40-day celebration of the coronation of King George V. is being shown in motion pictures The pictures are being shown by the Urban Smith Company, with headquarters in New York, and will be shown in the principal cities of the country. The pictures give the complete description of the celebration, which are realistic in effect. When at the conclusion of the scenes at the armory last Saturday evening, and Jack Johnson, who figure in the celebration, fail to appear, great surprise is manifested from the audience when the champion is not shown. Many in the audience waited expectantly for the appearance of the American champion. Just why Jack Johnson is being omitted from the pictures is not determined, as she was a notable figure at the coronation The appearance of Johnson in the pictures would have given them wonderful realistic effect, which was the general opinion of the audience High Standing. Mr. Thurlow Jones, son of Dr. R. E. Jones, is standing at the head of his class at the Boston Conservatory of Music, where he entered this sonat. NOTICE! All persons having furniture stored at A.

Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 22.—Company F, Oklahoma National Guards, has been ordered to assemble at once and proceed to Coweta. A special train was made up and left here with the troops at 11:45 o'clock tonight. Coweta is twenty miles north of here. Coweta, Okla., Oct. 22.—Ed Suddeth, a negro, was shot to death tonight by a mob of citizens, who had armed themselves, following a battle this afternoon between blacks and white, in which Suddeth killed J. D. Beavers, city attorney, and wounded Carmen Oliver and Steller Thompson, white men Oliver and Thompson may die. Suddeth was wounded and was then strung up to a water tank, but was cut down before he died and locked in a vacant building. Tonight Deputy Sheriff Flowers attempted to take the skier to Wagner to fall. As Suddeth was being taken to an automobile a mob opened fire on him and riddled him with bullets. Probably fifty shots entered his body. RACE WAR IS FEARED Large numbers of injured negroes are arriving tonight from the surrounding country and a race war seems inevitable. The white men of the town are patrolling the streets and guarding their homes as best they can. They are afraid to bring the women out of the homes and send them to Muskogee on the last train out. They also declare they will not dare to try to get them on the next train which passes through Coweta at midnight. Oliver was taken to Muskogee on a passenger train this evening and placed in the Baptist Hospital, where doctors are probing for the bullet. He was shot, through the abdomen. WHITE GIRL PUSHED OFF SIDEWALK. The trouble started yesterday afternoon. A telegraph operator named Swazer was walking with a young woman when Ed Ruse, a negro, in passing, pushed the girl from the sidewalk into the mud Swazer struck at the negro, and another white man whose name is being kept secret, seized Ruse and Swazer beat him with his fists. Today Ruse had been walking the streets with a long knife in his pocket, seeking the man who held him, Marshal Hart ordered the negro to give up the knife and Ruse shot at him. At that instant Ed Suddeth ran out of a house across the street and opened fire, instantly killing City Attorney Beavers and wounding Oliver and Thompson, all of whom were passing at the time and had taken no part in the trouble. HANGED, BUT CUT DOWN ALIVE Suddeth took refuge in a nearby house, which was hambared with guns and revolvers by several white men. The house was set afire and Suddeth fled. He was shout, but not fatally injured. He was taken to the water tank, a rope placed around his neck and he was awoken up. It was then decided, however, that to kill him would precipitate a general race war and he was cut down. Coweta is in a state of terror tonight, and it is fearful that an outbreak is inevitable. There are 1200 people in Coweta, one-third of whom are negroes. The county is populated with white men, and was stated tonight that if it were organized they could bring 2000, men into town before morning. More outcasts have hurried in. 1. Negro emissaries have hurried out to surrounding settlements with the avowed intention of bringing enough of their people here to wipe the town off the map. They declare they will set fire to 'every house in town. THREE SHERIFFS SEND HELP. The shorties of Wagoner, Muskogee and Tulsa counties have sent help to Cowet, and every means possible will be used to prevent an outbreak. One negro woman set out on foot today for Redhbird, an exilic negro town, declaring she would bring every negro in the settlement back with her. Officers followed her and brought her back to town. The citizens of Cowets are pianistricken and are poorly organized. They have shotguns and revolvers, but not enough rifles. They are also short of ammunition. The town is without fire protection. A prominent man said late today, "We have been expecting for two years to have to fight for our lives, and I believe the time has come. I am confident that the town will be attacked before morning." HALLOWEEN MASQUERADE At the Pythian Hall next Tuesday night Lone Star Lodge, No 1240, the oldest Dellow Fellow Lodge in this city, will celebrate Halloween with a gigantic fancy-dress masquerade, to which all of its friends are invited.

Prof. Moore's Explanation—The Advantages in this New Country. Bahin, Brazil, Sept. 13, 1911. Special to The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U. S. A.: As my time and health have been such that I could not get what I wanted prepared for this mall, I feel that if I do not say something you may think that I have forgotten you. And I assure you otherwise. I will just say a few words about the climate. You can easily see from your maps that geographical conditions or situation of Brazil is right for the florest and most healthy climate' of the world. This is just what it is. And especially the State of Bahrain, which is situated about half-way from the two extremes of South America and Brazil and so project out into the Atlantic Ocean in such a way that one might easily think that the whole coast actually waited by the breezes of the ocean's salt air. One is reminded of a special watering place, as there is never that killing heat nor the freezing cold which you have in America North. WEATHER CONDITIONS FAVORABLE. I speak of this because I believe it to be one of the points of particular advantage to a poor struggling people. From the very fact that they would not be compelled to change the weight of their clothes so often, so as to meet the conditions of the seasons. In this respect, I am not needed to say that this is an economical advantage of no small importance to the colored people the world over. Here is no great worry about fuel, as charcoal is quite sufficient to cook with. And for mechanical purposes as yet coal is bought from English companies. But in many cases they even burn wood. BURN WOOD THERE. Some of the railroads and most of the little steam boats which run on the rivers use wood as fuel, and many of their little stationary engines. At the first thought of this one might say that this lack of coal is to the country a great disadvantage—40 motters not what the climate is. But let us see if this is really the case here in Brazil. The western scope of the country is so situated with mountains that some of the finest falls in all the world are here in Brazil. As science is progressing we can see an end to the great demand for coal as a fuel. And this, of course, is to some advantage to the United States, from the fact that many have already begun to estimate the time that the coal mines will hold out at the general and growing demand for fuel. But science teaches us that nature can never exhaust itself. And this is very evident as to fuel during these last 200 years, as when one material is exhausted another and a better one is found NO NEED FOR COAL Some say that there is plenty of coal in Brazil, and yet others say there is not. But here is one thing that I know: that if things continue as they seem to be going now, Brazil will have very little need for it. And yet be one of the most active countries of the world. One might easily believe that under these great mountains there runs any; quantity of oil. It is also reasonable to think that there must be natural gases. If this is not true, by bridging the many great falls there can be any amount of energy produced for all purposes on land. At sea there will be means found to keep the ships running. But this is not the great thing which bothers the Negro, but they are items. The great mountain range over to the west of the country brings the temperature to an equal with that of the East, from the fact of its great elevation. Being so close to the centre of the world, I am not needed to tell you that freeze-ups are equally unknown to Brazil. Those mountains (we are told) hold any amount of riches, in the form of metals and precious stones. For farming, the entire country is verdant the year. round. And although this is one of the most productive countries at all for fruits, it may seem strange to know that there are no great fruit cultivators. A GREAT ADVANTAGE Therefore, we see nothing of the great fruit—conservatories which would be so natural in a colder climate. And this in itself is an advantage for the Negro of America, should he choose to come here and interest himself. He knows that in certain countries, and especially North America, and Northern Europe. These are some of the reasons why I say that if you come here looking for some one to hire you and pay you by the day, you are lost before you start. and body, and rather, as the Irish old in the United States, to help build up, country where you can make yourselves a respectable part—why then, this is your place. And this, in itself, should remind you of the fact that the whole race must learn to strike out upon a more independent basis, and make things right for themselves, as men, only want servants when they can have them at great personal advantages. As soon as they can easily get along without them, they dispose of servants. They do this even with the horse and cow, and how much more with men, whom they have to pay. Men have done away with slavery because it is more convenient to hire him than to own men. And if they must own anything, they prefer a machine, which is less cost. And here is your principal advantage in Brazil. The country is a large one, and in a very healthy zone, and is not overrun with a more advanced population. And neither is the great amount of machinery to compete with here as in other countries. DR. WASHINGTON'S TRAVELS. I have before me Mr. Washington's complete story of his travels in South Europe, and I can see nothing in it to inspire the Negro race with any hope of a better future. But, in order not to be selfish, I consulted the views of several others, and their conclusions were like mine—that he compared your conditions with the most unhappy whites of the earth so as to make you content with your conditions. But he killed his own argument, if one would follow him with care. He, as also as he, does defeats the very purpose for which he said he was working. He proved to all that the man who does not take part in the ruling of his country and only practices farming is the tool and jest of the city folk. We will for instance cite you two facts in your own country. A STRIKING COMPARISON. "The North was the place of manufacturing, while the South was the farming part of the country. And where is the wealth, brain and power oven today? This is the way to look at matters. We know, as Wm. J. Bryan has said, the farmer is the backbone of a nation. We also know that he is its ass. He carries the heft of the burden and gets very little or no thanks for it. THE JEW'S WISDOM. And this is why that the wise Jew never farms—but he holds the treasure of the world. He neither seeks to be a private servant nor does he care to farm. If he does, why the less intelligent person must do the work. And here is where he is wise. The strongest man is not always the wisest. The horse and machinery will do the work if the man will furnish the brain. The thinkers will always be masters. Therefore, I think that Brazil is better, because you can put all of your thoughts into actions for your own benefits. If not what are you going to do when you all get run out of America, which seems to be the ultimate outcome of all this? The American Negro is progressing like the frog that was in the well only a short distance, but when he tried to get out he would jump up two feet and fall back three. And all because he will not take his own responsibilities in hand as he should A POINTED QUESTION. It is not where you are and what you have, but how are you faring and what is your hope? You can take these hints because they are practical. He tells you what an advantage it is to you to speak English. Well, I want to show you that you had as well speak Gorman, and in many cases better, as all other people are given advantage over you in your own country, as you are only wanted where no other people care to go. This state of affairs is not growing better, according to reports, but I leave that for you to decide. Your children will be soon asking their parents, why should we try so hard to learn when after we have learned we have no chance to operate? And then what will you tell them? But I have another reason for believing that this is the much better country of the two, and that you will have exceptional advantages should you come here. One is that you all seem to be lovers of farming. Well, then, make the best out of that. FARMING IN BRAZIL There is no place on earth that I can think of where the man would have better chance to make good than in Brazil. The reasons are many and various. "First, the richness of the soil; second, the even temperature; third, the vast territory; fourth, your knowledge of farms and farming; fifth, these peoples lack of same; sixth, the high duty on everything imported—and, notwithstanding this, most of the edibles are imported mostly from Portugal—seventh. English in this country to you would be of especial advantage, for it is rapidly becoming the commercial language; eighth, because you are used and willing to work hard when you see good pay coming; ninth, because these lack those qualities; tenth, that the Portuguese will not cramp you as does the Saxon: elephant, that you will not him; hope the great trust compass will contain wealth, you might easily be control, market as well as the field; fifteenth, that you need not fear lynching here; sixteenth, that you would-not be oppressed on account of your color; seventeenth, because you are white or black, according to your education and pocketbook; eighteenth, that if you come here your children can some day hope not, only to be assistant supraude judges, but presidents of the land or nation; twentieth, because you will be kind of looked up to, to show these people how things are, done in the most progressive country in the world. MONEYED MEN WANTED. And there are many other advantages which one could name, which you can never expect. In the United States, 'Bird I' warn you, upon your own best reputation and good to new. turn your head this way looking for day, labor. But if some of you with just a small amount of capital at your disposal would come you the common mistakes to show dependence begin to open the way for the day or common laborer. You who may accept my advice in coming to Brazil should not make the common mistake to show dependence upon other people to give you a day's work. A good start often helps one to a good end. These advice, however, may not be encouraged by your white countrymen. But you may ask them why are they flocking this way of late years? And what did one of your Senators mean in Washington a few months ago, when he said to the young men to go South—the South is the coming country. Go and help build it up and help rule it! You know that he was not talking about South Carolina, Florida, Georgia nor Louisiana, neither Mississippi. He meant the tropics, men and women are constantly writing books on for the special benefit of them. I doubt very much if any of them read them. A REFERENCE TO TRUE,REFORMERS. If just one or two of those many thousands of dollars which you have lost in the True Reformers had been spent in seeking better ways and means for you all to live, even if in other parts, you would by this time be receiving a profitable dividend on your money, and may have had more respect at home for your common sense. I mean that you should pay a small sum for true and exact information of other countries comparative to your own, where you are the unwelcome guest. You may congratulate yourselves upon your recent achievements, but think what you might have done had you been given the chance of men. Now, for the good of your children, I beg you make foreign investigations with the outlook to a better future. Think of the Japanese, who within 80 years have done what you have not done in 200 years of regular contact with the white man. And all because they are in a country where each man is considered a part of the whole—that they take active parts in ruling themselves. Now please excuse my plain talk, for it is all in love... And I rather think that it will do you more good Your humble servant, I. S. MOORE, Bahla, Brazil 26 Run dos Capitans OAKLAND, CAL, NOTES At the last election held in the state of California there was a clause on the ballot marked "Women Suffrage." It meant that the Women would have the right to vote should that clause gain enough votes in the election. The election was held on October 10, 1911. At the last count that was taken, October 13, a majority of 1500 was in favor of women voting, therefore California has added to her voting capacity all of the women in the State over 21 years of age in the next Presidential Election on November 5, 1912. The women of California are rejoicing over their victory and to think that they have an equal right with the men. $25 00 PRIZE WON BY COLORED LAWYER The city of Oakland, California is erecting a new City Hall to cost not less than $1,000,000.00. President Taft made the announcement two or three months ago that he was going to tour the United States. This city appointed a committee to receive and welcome the President. The work on the new City Hall was rushed as fast as possible to have it ready so as to have the Corner-stone Laying the day the President arrived and that he may assist in doing so, he being a Mason and belonging to Killwinning Lodge of Cincinnati. Three of the leading newspapers offered a prize of $25.00 to any one who wrote a suitable inscription in ten words to be placed on a banner in plain view of every one at the new building. Among some two or three hundred inscriptions, written by all classes of people." This was the one chosen by the Committee: "Oakland Cornerstone City of the Occident and Orient Welcome Taft." It was written by P. J. C. Randell, a prominent colored lawyer of Oakland. The Cashier was amazed when he cashed the $25.00 check to see and know who won it. The cornerstone was laid October 13, 1911 at 5 P. M. by the Masons of San Francisco and Oakland. Weather Forecast. Judications of a long dry spell.

James Russell Lowell and Professor Mahaffy met for the first time at a friend's house in Birmingham, England, and talked together for four hours. When Lowell drove away in the carriage he exclaimed to his host, "Well, that's one of the most delightful fellows I ever met, and I don't mind if you tell him so!" The friend did so, and Mahaffy received the compliment with equal grace and modesty. "Poor Lowell!" he exclaimed. "To think that he can never have met an Irishman before!" "The microscope teaches us," says a scientist, "that there are animals, so wonderfully minute that if a thousand of them were ranked, abreast they could easily swim. Without being thrown but of order, through the eye of the finest cambric needle ever made. Yet each of the minute creatures is a highly organized number of particles, capable of moving about, of finding and devouring food and of behaving in all respects as becomes an animal as distinguished from a fragment of unorganized matter. The human mind is utterly incapable of realizing the structure of these little creatures and of fully appreciating their marvellous adaptation to the life they are destined to lead. Lowell and Mahaffy Minute Animal Life. Ralph Walds Emerson's Stove Ralph Waldo Emerson was a man of rare integrity and very particular about small things. One day a new cooking store had been provided for his house, and, although the store came very highly recommended, it proved thoroughly unsatisfactory and most provoking, as it did everything but what it was expected to do. After awhile the family was in despair, and some one suggested sending it to auction. "What?" exclaimed Emerson. "Transfer our own peripetry to another, pair of shoulders." No, never, unless the store is labeled Imperfect." And so "Imperfect" it was labeled and sold at a great discount. Divers In the Sudan Little is known of divorce among primitive peoples, consequently an article contributed by a writer in a French review, on the traditional rules for divorce practiced among the Bouduma people, dwelling about Lake Chad, is of interest. If the husband demands divorce we learn that he has to generally renounce the dot. This is always the case if he be a prodigal. A wife demanding divorce without good reasons must restore to her husband double the value of his settlement upon her. If she cannot do so he must wait until she again marries, and the new husband has to take this liability. If the wife has good grounds for divorce she retains the dot.—London Globe Medieval Monarchs. Almost every medieval monarch claimed a whole or a part of the dominion of almost every other and insisted on inscribing his claim in his list of official titles. In treatises and all official documents the whole list was religiously copied and as it often happened that the two negotiating monarchs had some of the same titles it became usual to insert a clause in the list, not primejudiciando, in order to indicate that, no matter how absurd, inappropriate of untrue were the titles, they were understood to be inserted because they pleased the monarch who claimed them, that they did not confer a valid claim, and so no harm was likely to result from their use.

Members Take Lessons and Show a Few Samples. THE attentuates carried the profes- sor of honor tenderly into the sor of humor tenderly into the laboratory and after upping him up so that even in case of a relapse he could not by any possibility slip to the floor left the room. The hour sounded, and the students trooped in, some of them humming such merry dizzes as the Chopin "Marche Funebre" as adapted by Hickley de Sniggies for use by college students enamored of ragtime. "Gentlemen," said the professor faintly as the class started itself, "we are today to consider pictorial humor. You will find upon the blackboard a picture, drawn in the best manner of Mr. Charles Howard Montgomery, representing a young woman in a bobble skirt leaning against an onyx mantlepiece, while on a tiger skin rug at her feet a young man in riding breeches is discovered. Through the open window we notice an ocean steamer on its way out to sea, while back of the young lady on the mantle a copy of "Omar Khuyamy" is seen leaning against an ornate clock. To the left is the eastern exposure of a divan. The problem before the class is to find a ditting joke for the picture. Mr. Slabside, what would you suggest? "She," said Mr. Blabdler—"Did you see Cholle off this morning, Henry?" He—No; I saw him off last night. She—Why, I thought he said this morning. He—So he did. But he was off last night." The professor suppressed a groan, and then he spoke. "Mr. Longears, If this picture were submitted to you for a jest, what would you suggest?" he said. "Well," hesitated Mr Longears, looking anxiously around to see if the exits were clear. "I'd have the girl ask. Have you a Rublyat. Mr Skillington." To which the young man was to reply, "No, Miss Winkleton, I prefer a derby." A murmur of something went through the class. "Order, gentlemen," said the professor. "Mr. Longears', joke is not at all a bad one, but it would go far better with what kind of a picture, Mr. Lynx?" "Why, under the rules," said Mr. Lynx. "I should say that if placed under a black and, while drawing of a young man jumping a lady over the waves at some sensible resort it would be more appropriate." "Very good, indeed," said the professor. "Mr Blinders, have you anything to suggest in respect to this picture." "She," said Mr. Blinders. "Would you marry a girl for her money, Chuhlie He—I don't know, Hadya. How much have you got?" "Excellent!" said the professor, nodding approvingly at Mr. Blinders. "Can you improve on that, Mr. Hubbleigh?" "I think so, yes, sir," said Doubbleigh. "I'd put it this way. Nhe—This is very sudden, Mr Wiggies; I hardly know what to say. Tummy—I don't you love it, Mr Wiggies. I heard but tell me she'd land today or never." "The professor removed his glasses. "Tommy, sir, he frowned. "And who, pity, is Tommy?" "Her little brother, sir," said Dubb leigh weekly. "His num!" said the professor, in specting the picture closely. "That sounds memorious, but I hardly see where Tommy comes in." "He's hidden behind the divan, pro- fessor," explained Dubbleigh. At this point the professor sustaining the professor in his chair gave way, and he toppled weakly to the floor, and by the time the attendants had restored film to his equilibrium the bell had sounded, and the students rushed mad ly from the room. - Harper's Weekly.

A colored man calling himself, "Captain John E. Simpson" and at times sailing under other names has been porishently swimming both white and colored people in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoebus. His plan has been to represent that he has money in a col- ored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tell him to send him six hundred and fifty dollars or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Rich- mond. He alleges that he is captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble Light off Buckroe Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the letter be sent to him in care of the person who advances the money. He never comes back to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keop, clear of Captain John B.

THE CREDITORS PLEA 1st That these complainants are persons who by the terms of the Charter, Constitution and By-laws of the defendant corporation, and their several contracts therewith, are creditors thereof, as beneficiaries under certain policies or death benefit certificates issued and delivered by the defendant corporation; which claims however, the defendant corporation have wholly failed or refused to pay or satisfy in whole or in part.

HAS MANY BRANCHES. Srd. That the defendant Corporation has a large number of branches or subordinate councils, or found tains as they are sometimes called, located in various parts of the State of Virginia, and in numerous other States of the Union; the names and location of many of which are to these complainants unknown, but all of which according to the knowledge, the formation and belief of complainants are subordinate and tributory to the defendant corporation herein named, and are agencies thereof. HAD SAME OFFICERS 4th. That until recently the officers of the defendant corporation were at the same time officers and directors of "The Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers of Virginia," a Corporation created and existing under the laws of this State. That about a year ago a suit was instituted and is now depending in your Honor's Court wherein the Corporatton herelin named as the defendant, was and is the plaintiff, and the said Banking Corporation defendant. MIXED AND COMPLICATED That the officers of the two corporations and their properties were mixed and complicated by reason of the personnel of the officers and directors being the same in both corporations, and by reason of the loose manner of conducting business. That it a alleged in the original bill of complaint in the said suit herein referred to, that the defendant corporation to this bill, was the largest depositor in said Savings Bank, and this these complainants believe true.

That the receivers thereby appointed, are now in charge of all of the property and affords to the Banking Corporation, so far as these complainants are informed and advised 5th. That complainants hereby are advised, believe and charge that in order to relieve themselves of personal liability to the depositors and stockholders thereof, the officers and directors of the Grand Fountain, the defendant corporation, who were, also officers and directors of the Banking Corporation have undertaken to convey a large part of the assets of the defendant corporation herein to the said Banking Corporation and to the receivers thereof, thereby attempting to fraudulently dispose of the assets of the defendant corporation herein named, and actually so doing to such an extent as to leave the defendant corporation herein insolvent; rendering nugatory any attentive by these complainants, or any of them, to recover by any action at law, the whole, or any part of the several sums of money due to them, respectively. OWES MANY OTHERS The complainants are informed, but lieve and charge that in addition to the debts due to them, which are unpaid, the said defendant corporation is indebted to many other persons holders and beneficiaries under similar contracts to those held by these complainants; and that the amount of these claims aggregates many thousand dollars, which the said defendant corporation, by reason of its insolvency, is unable to pay. ALLEGES UNJUST DISCRIM INATION. 6th. That these defendants are informed, believe and 'charge that unjust discrimination has been and is being shown by the officers and directors of the defendant corporation in favor of certain claimants to the detriment, injury and postponement of other claimants including, those of these complainants, that are prior in point of time; and that such funds and assets as are now under the control of the defendant corporation although totally insufficient to satisfy the just claims of these complainants and of a large number of other persons similarly situated and having similar claims, have been and are now being applied unjustly, inequitably and unfairly and without any regard whatever to the vested right and claim of these complainants and others. NOT BRINGING SUITS TO RECOVER. Th. That complainants are advised believe and charge that the defendant corporation is not prosecuting with diligence, if it has instituted proper proceedings to recover a large part of its assets, which were wrongfully conveyed, by defendant corporation to the said insolvent bank, known as The Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers of Virginia and to the Receivers thereof. NOT MEETING CURRENT OBLIGATIONS... 5th. That the defendant corporation, The Grand Pountain of the United Order of True Reformors, is wholly insolvent. And the current revenues of said corporation are not sufficient to defray its operating expenses and the current death benefits that accuse against it from day to day under the certificates issued by it. That by reason of increased assessments that have recently been made, or attempted to be made, the membership of the said defendant corporation is growing smaller and smaller and it is not successful in gaining new members. That an accounting of the liabilities of said defendant corporation to these claimants and others similarly situated is absolutely necessary and essential to fairness and to equity, and that such an accounting can only be had in a Court of Equity, under proper orders and decrees to be entered by the Chancellor. ALLEGATIONS OF FAVORITISM 9th. That by reason of the favoritism that has been, and is now being shown by the said defendant corporation to certain claims, which favoritism is adverse and damaging to the rights and claims of these complainants and others, similarly, alienated; that by reason of the squandering and allocation, actual and attempted, of the assets, of the defendant corporation, and by reason of the multiplicity of the various claims of a similar char acter held by these complainants and others, these complainants and others similarly situated are without adequate remedy at law, and are entitled to relief at the hands of a Court of Equity. HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE LAWS. 10th. That these complainants and each of them have severally fully complied with all and singular the provisions and requirements of the Constitution and By-laws of the defendant corporation, but notwithstanding this, by reason of the matters and things herein alleged, none of these complainants have received satisfaction in whole or in part for any of their respective claims against the defendant corporation. 11th. That-to avoid a multilplicity of suits and to justify and fairly, administer and distribute the assets of the said defendant corporation, it is essential that a receiver be appointed to administer its affairs, to collect its assets and project to distribute the same under the direction of the Court of Equity. MUCH DEMANDED Wherefore the premises considered these complainants pray that the defendant, The Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, be made a party defendant to this bill and required to answer the same answer under oath being expressly waived; that an injunction be awarded your complaint against each and all of the officers, agents, attorneys, employees and other representatives of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, restraining and enjoining them, and each and all of them from telling, exchanging or in any way disposing of any of the property of the said corporation if any and all character, location and description, real, personal, and mixed tangible and intangible; that a receiver or recyclers, be appointed by this Court to ferventh with take charge of all property and assets of the defendant corporation, and duly administer the same under the direction of this Honorable Court; that the assets and liabilities of said corporation be appertained and determined; that all property and assets which have been fraudulently, improperly and inquitably disposed of or attempted by the defendant corporation be recovered; and that the funds arising under the control of the Court of this case, be fairly and properly distributed, after paying the costs hereof, including reasonable counsel fees to counsel for instituting and prosecuting this suit, towards payment and satisfaction of the claims against said defendant corporation of those complainants and of others similarly situated; and that the Court may award to these complainants such other further and general relief as the nature of this case may require and to equity shall seem meet.

Shepperson) Drakes Branch, Va While attention-compelling advertisements go far in the way of building and boosting a business, they should not by any means be considered the advertiser's only resort by which to reach their prospects. There are businesses in which form letters may be used alone, or supplemental to other advertising matter. The first consideration in getting up a form letter is not your interest, but the, interest, of the-person you are addressing. On account of this, many form letters have found their way to the waste basket after the opening lines were read. In order to make sure you are beginning right, do away with the we" style, as "We have just opened our new store, and we think you'll be interested in our line of goods." "We desire to call your attention to the fact that our line of men's and boy's clothing is the most complete to be found in the city." These kind of letters would not bring many answers, and the number of orders would be still less, because busy people have no time to read what you think about your goods, nor how complete your line is. They don't consider the letter worth the time it takes to read it, and away it goes to the waste basket. Another thing to consider when writing a form letter is the class of people you are addressing and whether or not an inquiry has been made. As a rule women will read more detail than men and country people more than city people. But you should trust nothing to luck; the first blow should be the knockout one. Make sure that you grip their attention in the first paragraph, and your letter's most sure to be read and considered. Drake's Branch (Va.) News. Starting a long-planned separation which seemed destined to come in spite of all that could be done by friends to the contrary Mrs. Fannie Fore, who has successfully conducted in restaurant here for a number of years, left Thursday for parts unknown. It is said that her husband, John Fore, has been cruel to her since their marriage. She tried hard to forget his treatment and to reform him through kindness, but that made him worse. The purchase of a fine horse, double-sent back, wagon and livery license did not suffice to make "Ephraim" turn from his ways. In the meantime Mrs. Fore (who is a reader of the Planet) became interested in the Beach case, and watched the progress of the trist with one eye, and John with the other. She had, some weeks ago, packed her belongings and provided a place for her mother, who was staying with them. While, Mr. Fore went out to take a passenger Thursday, his wife, with friends to help her, made her get a-way. When tokl his wife had left, and the landlord, S. P. Lee, had locked the restaurant, Fore began to sing, "On the Road. Somewhere." The song melted into sobs and tears then when an attachment was presented and the horse taken. It is my fault, he said, but she will still be my wife if she comes back. Mrs. J. M. Jeffers is consolescent. Mr. C. M. Shepperson has finished his porch, which adds to the attractiveness of his residence. The people are busy caring their tobacco for market. This means that the factories will open soon. Drake's Branch, Va., Oct. 24, 1911. That Mrs. Fannie Fore has arrived at her journey's end was not denied by her closest friends here today. She is quoted as saying: "I am feeling well, only tired from travelling. My journey was a long, but pleasant one I will begin life anew now and try to forget worry and family cares," etc. All day and part of the night since Mrs Fore left, hungry people have been trying the door of the restaurant, but it failed to yield Mr Fore has moved over the creek. Mrs Menerva Harris tried to rent the restaurant Saturday, but a person had got ahead of her, whose name was not given Mr. Fore's whole aim is to locate his wife, and since he acknowledges he was wrong, they will doubtless be able to adjust the matter satisfactorily. They have no children. (Washington, D. C., Herald, Oct. 20, 1911) "This movement against me is fostered by two men who, though representing labor unions, do not work at their trades. It is known to labor organizations that I am the last man who would discriminate against them. The incident which has been the cause of resolutions attacking me was trifling and ordinarily would have attracted no attention." For the first time since the Central Labor Union agreed last Monday night to spread broadcast a set of resolutions condemning him as "an avowed enemy of unionism," and "creature to every trust." Public Printer Samuel B Donnelly, of the Government Printing Office, last night defended his actions. It was not his desire, he said, to do anything that might give rise to an agitation of the matter now ponding before the Central Labor Union. "The specific charge brought against me," he continued. "It is discriminating against six union bricklayers who struck because one negro was employed with them. That was the only thing in the resolutions which I am called upon to answer. "My action since this strike was called has, I believe, been logical and governed by precedents in such cases. The work to be done is open to all men save the half dozen who struck The negro who was employed was doing a fair day's work and earning his wages. He was a competent bricklayer and it would have been the grossest injustice to discharge him. "Since I took my position in the matter, three other negro bricklayers have been employed. They are all doing their work and will be retalied." "There are 400 negro employees in the Government Printing Office Negro bricklayers work side by side with white bricklayers in the Washington and Brooklyn navy yards. I cannot see why. in the case of the work to be done at the Government Printing Office, the union men should expect an exception to be made in their favor." Whether or not he would be present at the next meeting of the Central Labor Union and personally answer the charges which have been made against him, Mr Donnelly declined to say. Emmett L. Adams, who led the fight against Public Printer Donnelly, declared last night that the announcement of his "unfair dealings" would be published broadcast. He charged the present discrimination is paving the way for other alleged wrongs against organized labor. --- Memorial of the Late Prof. J. H. Torbert.
