RIGHT MORD PLANET GENERAL COUNSEL NEWSOME RESIGNS. Could Not Obey Grand Worthy Master Griffin's Orders. THE CULMINATION OF MANY DISAGREEMENTS LETTERS SENT TO HIS HONOR, JUDGE WITT COMMONWEALTH'S ATTORNEY FOWLKES. INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE. R. C. OWEN8, President R. C. Owens Investment Co., Los Angeles, Cal. Newport News, Va., Dec 2, 1911 W. R. Griffin, Grand Worthy Master Grand Fountain, U. O. of T. R., Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir: Your letter demanding that I give daily service in Richmond, as well as your dictation as to how I shall conduct the legal business of the Grand Fountain makes it imperative upon me to hand you, as one of the Board of Directors, my resignation as General Counsel for the True Reformers. Of course my election as General Attorney was without restriction as to place of residence and you have no right either in law or morals to require me to move from my home where I have an established business to take charge of the uncertain fortune of a crippled organization, in a strange city. BOUND TO RESIGN R. C. OWENS, President R. C. Owen cessary to the success of the True reformers, and it is impossible for it to be maintained between me and the present administration, I am in honor bound to resign. In doing so I beg to submit to the public that I have endeavored to render my people faithful service for the last twelve months, have almost demoralized my business at home, and been subjected to gross injustice and humiliation which I can not endure. I should say that I have been treated with marked consideration and respect by Judge Witt of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond and Attorney, Mr. Minnette Fowkes, the insurance commissioner Col. Button and Mr. R. E. Byrd, speaker of the House who knows of my activities in behalf of the Reformers. THE REWARD FOR HILL. I wish also to express my gratitude to John Mitchell, Jr., Editor of The Richmond PLANET for the great service he has rendered the Reform era and me, since I took charge of the Order. I shall make a full report to the Board of Directors at its next meeting and shall inform of the result conference with W. P. Burrell which you ordered me to have, and I think it proper that I should disavow any knowledge of the withdrawal of the reward for R. T. Hill or any other act that indicates my concurrence in the evident Intention of certain True Reformers to conduct the legal end of the tangled affairs of the organization independently of the courts. Very truly, J. THOS NEWSOME ATTORNEY NEWSOME'S PLEA. Explains Why He Left True Reformers—Could Not Abandon Home Practice for Richmond Service.—His Business Crippled—Offers to Assist Prosecution. Dear Editor:— When one occupying a position of so great a responsibility as the General Counselship of a National organization such as the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, finds it necessary, right on the eve of a decisive legal battle, to re- ns Investment Co., Los Angeles, Cal. sign his trust, the public should know who reasons for his remarkable action. I am therefore speaking to the public through the columns of your paper and "shall extinate nothing or set down night in malice." Without solicitation, I was, on last February, elected Senator Counsel for the True Reformers. I had built up in my home city, Newport News, Virginia, by sheer hard work, a splen didactic practice, bought a magnificent library, and had the respect of the entire bench and bar ofOWER Tidewater. My home was the stopping place of the most distinguished colony men who came to my city such as Booker T. Washington, Major R. R. Moton, Prof. W. Bruce Evans, J. M. Gandy, James T. Phillips, Hon. Fred R. Moore, Judge Robert H. Tor roll, and a host of great men of the race. My sole ambition was to demonstrate the possibility of a Negro lawyer, in the heart of the South, rising above mere mediocrity to a commanding place in the legal profession. How well I have succeeded, I shall leave those who know me and have visited my section to say. MADE GREAT SACRIFICE.

Owens Investment Co. On last October 9th the Secretary of the State of California issued a charter to the R C Owens' Investment Company, a corporation organized to deal in Real Estate, Building, Mortgage-loans, Stocks, Bonds and Investments. The Company started upon its business career under, the most promising circumstances. Its capitalization is $100,000, divided into 100,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. The Los Angeles Agent of The PLANET paid a visit to the offices of the company at 325-6 Germain Building and found the company splendidly housed, in a suite of rooms replete with all the paraphernula of a modern investment office. No luxurious outlay, but good, useful, modern and advanced furnishings complete in every detail. The President of the Company is Mr R C. Owens, known from coast to coast as "Bob" Owens. Mr. Owens is a "native son"; his wealth, business ability and success, his strict integrity and financial honor have won a high place for him in the business and financial world. The colored people of the West have launched nothing in a business or financial way that has evoked such favorable comment and such splendid support. Already, more than One Hundred Los Angeles have subscribed to, the capital stock and several subscribers have paid up subscriptions for Assimons as $500; and the company is but two months old. the company invests its paid-up capital stock in first mortgage loans and in high grade real estate. The rise in real estate values in the city and county of Los Angeles and the constant call from new comers for money and advice about land and buildings offer a lucrative and ready field of operation to the company. Associated with Mr R C Owens as officers of the company are Dr A C Garrott, Vice-President and Director, graduate of Howard University, DD S, and a very successful and able dentist. Mr J W Palmer, Treasurer and Director successful business man and the Basal agent and Treasurer of the California Colony & Home Promoting Association Mr Palmer is a thorough student of finance, a large owner of real estate and a man of wide business training and experience. Willis O Tyler, a graduate of the Indiana State University and of the law school of Harvard University 's, in Secretary and Attorney of the company Mr Tyler is a grandson of Hannah Jane McCaw and Will H McCaw, two of the beat known pioneers of Indiana, and the couple who cleared, cultivated and afterwards acquired nearly the whole eastern half of Monroe County, Indiana.

Shot Because Refused to Ride With Cattle and Wagons. (Special Correspondent to the Chicago Defender) New Orleans, La., Nov 3 - The story that Ben Johnson, who was shot down Wednesday on the Algiers ferry-boat was inane is untrue. I was on deck at the time and saw the whole affair. Ben Johnson, a neatly dressed property owner of this state, was sitting on the upper deck of the Aligiers ferry boat among the white passengers. Several of the men went to him and ordered him down in the lower deck by dealing him several kicks. Then he resisted and drew a revolver. Some of the white men seized an iron rod and rushed at him the second time, then Johnson fired. Several white men fell. After he emptied his gun, the crowd rushed him again before he could reload, he began to use his empty gun a club, wounding several. In the midst of the first several shots were fired into his body by the mob on board. PAYNE BROWN. Mr. John F. Brown announces the marriage of his daughter, Addie Glenn, to Mr. James C.

Editor of The PLANET Prof I. Moore without a doubt is one of the most able writers of modern times. For some years now I have made it my duty to go behind the articles he writes. Now I wonder how many of your readers follow Mr Moore's writings. A few weeks ago I read an editorial in a New England morning paper which has now over 100,000 circulation. The Editor said that the great success of his paper was due to the interest of the readers and writers. This is true of Mr. Moore's articles. They are of great power to both the ownership and readers. I have just read and re-read the two articles of October 29 and 30th Mr Moore still believes that the leadership question should be laid away for the future. No doubt he means about fifty more generations to be born before this leadership star should appear. With all due respect to Mr Moore, we have the same God who will help the Ethelpin in those modern times as will help in the many years to come and we must today lay the foundation for all future generations. The conditions are before us and to wait for those yet unborn to place right where wrong is now is not the question with us. When the Almighty caused man to be upon the earth the will of his Maker was to do his very best every moment of his life to the end. Often it is said that slavery has killed the changes of the Ethiopians For a long while to come, but I say this is only a blind to keep wrong where right should rule. Our Maker will not send us a leader one million years from now. Right is a gift God placed before man at the start and we want a leader just now and we will find one out of the fifteen millions of Ethiopians of these United States. The situations of the Ethiopian people call for men and women of strong faith in God to come out just now and save the perishing who are going in every direction but the one one. The whole African face has been blished by a man with the leading Nero's location with the leading Nero's location in the only a sham With it many pitfalls for the people in the race who do not step to think Man asks why don't your people be like other people? How can they, when all the world worries me, and I say to one and all if you want the Lord's mothers and daughters saved for God and the nation to show the Nero's from the shoulds of the Ethiopians and we will be a gentle and humble man. JOHNSON IN CHICAGO Dearest He is In Better Condition Than When He Beat Jeffries. Chicago, December 23. John "Artha Johnson" colored berry weight "I opton arrived in Chicago today to spend Christmas with his mother. Johnson was accompanied by his wife three traveling companions, 'Brooke' his white vault and a Queen piece of baggage. He appeared to be in first class conditon. Asked about a report from New York that, while abroad, he had spent his time "buying tubs of champagne for bar maids and gambling." he grinned his eighteen-carat amilo and exclaimed: "My condition shows that story to be false. I'm as hard as nails and in better condition than when I beat Jeffries. I didn't buy any champagne for bar maids, nor is there any truth in the story that I am broke." Johnson thereupon flashed a handful of yellow bills. The marriage of Miss Cora Belle Eppa to Mr. Linday W. Hill was quilty solenized in the parlor of her pastor, Rev.

Toll you the church bell and and slow and tread softly and speak low. For the old year lies a dying. Old you will. You came to us so readily. You lived with us so steadily. Old year, you shall not die! He nath po other life above: He gave me a friend and a true, true love And the new year will take them away Old year, you must not go. So long as you have been with us Such joy as you have seen with us! Old year, you shall not go! "HE WILL NOT SEE THE DAWN OF DAY." He frett'd his bumpers to the brim. A jollier year we shall not see. But, though his eyes are waxing dim And though his foes speak ill of him, He was a friend to me. Old year, you shall not die! We did so laugh and cry with you, I've half a mind to die with you, Old year, if you must die. He was all of jokes and jest, But all his merry quips are o'or. To see him die across the waste He will die across the poathaste, But he'll be dead before. Every one for his own. The night is starry and cold, my friend, And the new year bilthe and bold, my friend. Comes up to take his own. "I HEARL JUST NOW THE GROWING COOK. How hard he breezes! Over the snow I heard just now the crowning cook. The cricket chirps; the light burns low. Tis nearly twelve o'clock. Shake hands before you die, What for it we really run for you. What to it we run for you? Speak out before you die. And a new face at the door, my friend, a new face at the door. NEW YEAR'S. TOILETS OF JAPANESE BELLES. The most elaborate New Year toilets in the world are made by Japanese belles. The women of Japan have been having a New Year for hundreds of years before the women of Christian countries, according to their chronology of the age of the world, and they have learned to make much more of it than the women of shorter lived Christian nations. The New Year in Japan; falling a little later than ours, brings the Flowery Kingdom into its full flowerness, and on that day the whole gid New Year is called in to celebrate the advent of another twelfement. It is commonly supposed that women in Japan hold a secondary place to men and that no festival could be carried on by them and for them. But, far from being the case, there is no nation on earth that values its women as highly as the Japanese nor any country where the New Year is more beautifully ushered in. Woman have a strange way all over the world of bringing in the New Year. Other holidays are common to all men and women, but the New Year in Japan seems devoted to woman alone. She makes her toilet sitting on the floor, with a silk robe around her. When she gets out of her peculiar little bed upon the floor and lits her shapely head from her smooth, round pillow she gets into a perfumed bath, in the taking of which she is assisted by her female. servants if she be a woman of very high rank and by the woman of her household if she be of good family, but not wealthy. Her perfumed bath is poured into a tub, and a little matting screen is set around the tub. This is the Most Famous American New Year's Poem. Thousands of Americans have composed verses in celebration of the passing of the old year or the coming of the new year, but this elegy in blank verse, written by Crayton in British literature, is the only one that has survived the test of time. For two generations it has been acclaimed by competent critics as the most eloquently poetic of all so called New Years poems written in a native of Connecticut, born in 1874, from ISU until his death in 1879 he was editor of the Louisville Journal, predecessor of the Louisville Courter-Journal. He was a paragrapher of wide distinction. A collection of his poems was published in 1876. This midnight's holy hour, and silence now is brooding like a gentle spirit o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark, on the winds. The bell's deep tones are swelling 'it's the knell Of the ancient warrior' No funeral train Is sweeping past, yet on the stream and wood. With melancholy, light, the moonbeams rest. Like a pale, spotless shroud; the air is surr'd And Winter, with his agod locks—and breathe In mournful edences, that come abroad Like the far wind harp's wild and touch- ing A melancholy dorge o'er the duad year, Gone from the earth forever. Still chambers of the heart a spécter dim. Whose tones are like the wizard voice of Time Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold And bernaen finger to the beautiful And holy violets that have passed away And left no shadow of their loveliness On the dead waste of life. That specter lifts The coffin lid of hope and joy and love And, bending mournfully above the pale Sweet slumber there, scatters dead flowers Oer what has passed to nothingness. The year Has gone and with it many a glorious throng Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each Of happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow. Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course It waved its accepter o'er the beautiful, And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man, and the haughty form in fallen, and the fashing eye is dim. I trod the hall of revelry, where And reckless shout resounded. It pass'd o'er The battle plain, where sword and spear and shield Flash the light of midday, and the strength Of serred hosts is shiver'd, and the STEAM. Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crush'd and moldering skeleton, It came And faded like a wreath of mist at eve. Yet are it molted in the viewless air It heralded its millions to their home in the dim land of dreams. Remorable Time Flerce spirit of the glass and acythe what power power. Can he fly in his silent course or melt his heart to pity? On, still on, He presses and forever. The proud bird, The condor of the Andes, that can soar Through heaven's unfathomable depths or brave The fury of the northern hurricane And bathe his plumage in the thunder's home. Furls his broad wings at nightfall and sinks down To rest upon his mountain crag, but Tume Knows not the weight of sleep or weariness. And night's deep darkness has no chain to bind His rushing pinions. Revolutions sweep O'er earth, like troubled visions o'er the breast. Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and sink. Like bubbles on the water; fury isles Spring, blasting. from the ocean and go back To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear To heaven their bald and blacken'd cliffs and bow Their tall heads to the plains new empires rise. Gathering the strength of doxy centuries, And rush down like the Alpine avalanche, Startling the nations, and the very stars, Yon bright and burning blazonry of God. Glitter awhile in their ocular depths, And the Piled, lovest of their train. Shoot from their glorious spheres and pass away a streakless void. Yet Time- Time, the tomb builder-holds his duree carcer, Dark, stern, all pitiless, and pauses not, Amid mighty wrecks that strow his path. To sit and muse, like other conquerors, To sit the fearful ruin he has wrought. A Song For the New Year. A song for the New Year! Exh tant its hours- The dust of defeat hath not suilled its flowers. But Fancy hath dipped them in dead earth. And brought them all blooming in beauty, to you. A song for the New Year. A clarion strong: Achievement, through service, re freshment through song! No mountain too mighty for Faith to remove; No labor too low, transfigured by Love! A song for the New Year. A message of joy: May never a discord its music alloy! But, growing in sweetness and melody clear, May it ever inspire and strengthen and cheer. —Ernest Neal Lyon. —Subscribe to The PLANET. SACRED CHINESE LILY SET OUT ON NEW YEARS. THE Chinese New Year is the most important celebration known to that people and about the most spectacular anniversary on earth. Connected with it however, is a very beautiful custom of setting out the bulbs of the famous Chinese illy, which is the sacred flower of the Colostial Kingdom. No Chinaman would be found without one of these plants growing in his house, as he devoutly believes that it brings luck to the inmates. This flower has the remarkable quality of growing in clear water with a few pobbles thrown around to hold it in place. A very pretty little legend is told in connection with the Chinese illy. 'The tale is as well known in the Colostial empire as that of Christ blessing the illies is to nations farther west and is even older. The only place in China where the illy grows naturally is in the province of Fukien. The folklore tale of the Chinese says it was planted there by a spirit. Long ago—nobody can tell for certain how many thousands of young Lo Tsi, a man of Fukien, took unto himself a wife. This woman, Tsien, was proud, haughty and selfish. Lo Tsi led but a dog's life with her, so he took a second wife. This younger helpmeet was called You Fung San and she was beautiful and available. Tsien promptly made life miserable for her also. In due time the elder wife bore a son, in character like herself, whom she named Fook Su. Then You Fung Sun likewise bore a son, who was devout, meek and gentle, and he was named Ho Ming. As these sons grew toward manhood life was made so usable for poor Ho Ming that he ran away, changed his name and worked in the fields as a laborer. After many years his heart was smitten with remorse, however, and he resolved to return to his home. He did so, only to find his father and mother both dead, the property having descended to Tselen and her selfless son. Ho Ming, under the Chinese law, however, and a right to one-fourth of the property. As his share he was given a rocky tract of ground, on which nothing would grow. The only redeeming thing about it was that it was traversed by a stream of water. Uttterly dejected, Ho Ming again left home, with the inception of returning no more. Before leaving, however, he burned dry leaves to offer up incense to the spirit of his father. Out of the smoke a sen, or spirit, came to him and told him to return the next year, when he should have wealth until. Ho Ming then fell asleep, and in his dream his father and mother came to him and bade him be of good cheer and do as the spirit had directed him. At the dawn of the new year he returned, according to the command only to find the stream of his rocky plot of ground all filled with beautiful new illies. The spirit again appeared to him with the assurance that these flowers would bring luck and happiness for one year to whoever could induce them to bloom. War Congressman Honored by House. Sydneyhan E. Ancona, eighty-seven years old, of Reading, Pa., one of the few living members of the special session of congress of 1861, which met July 4 to declare a state of war against the confederacy, received an unusual honor in the house. Amid cheers from both sides of the house, the body took a rocus of ten minutes to permit a public reception for Mr. Ancona in front of the speaker's desk. Every representative in the house filed past the white-haired veteran and shook his hand. To Give Employees $40,000. Directors of the Interborough Rapid Transit in New York have announced the distribution of $40,000 as a Christmas present to employees. This will be given out at the rate of $5 in gold to each employee receiving $110 a month or loss, who has been on the company's payroll since Dec. 31, 1910. Eight thousand employees of the elevated and subway lines are affected by the order. Baby Has Appendiolette. A nine-weeks-old baby was successfully operated on at the Mercy hospital, in-Pittsburgh, for appendicitis. The child, Regis Canovin McKinney, named after Bishop Canovin, of the Catholic diocese of Pittsburgh, became sororiously ill. Physicians found the trouble to be appendicitis and the operation was performed. The child's father submitted to a similar operation recently. B-Foot Sheet Law Unconstitutional. The law passed by the legislature of Virginia requiring hotels to furnish sheets of at least eight foot long to all beds was declared to be unconstitutional by Police Justice Duncan, of Norfolk, before whom a test prosecution was brought. The state appealed. Hold Up Man In Bikerscrane Walter Herz left his office on the fifth floor of a skyscraper in Chicago and started down the brilliantly lighted corridors. He had proceeded only a few steps when two men approached him, pressed revolvers to his head and robbed him of $4. Murder Ends Quarrel at Capo May. Jacob Coloman, colored, aged, fifty years, was shot and killed by "Squib" Taylor, also colored, in the barber shop of Dempsey Smith, on Lafayette street, Capo May. The police are looking for Taylor. The shooting was the result of a quarrel. Diamond in Leg of Lamb. Mrs. Andrew Johnson, of Shotton, Conn., purchased a leg of lamb from a traveling butcher and was preparing it for the oven when a diamond fell out of the meat. A local jeweler valued the stone at $260. Nothing on earth is so valuable as a Human Mind. If a diamond is worth polishing at great trouble and cost, much more is the mind of a boy or young man worth all the polishing that the schools can give it. The best education is not too good for a providing youth. Who wisely choose a poor physician o save a few cents when health is in danger! And who properly educate which o save a few dollars than a better school will increase the strength of character and of mind for life, and prepare one for a larger usefulness. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Dormitory, Virginia Uni Va.

Simpson" and at times sailing undor other names has been persistently swimming both white and colored people in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoobus. His plan has been to re- present that he has money in a col- ored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr. President and toll 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 Buckrook 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 caro 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. Keep clear of Captain John M. Simpson or anybody who looks like him.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is reported to have announced that he intends to transport second class mail matter for points West by fast freight trains. This will include weekly publications and will destroy the agents business of the average weekly journal. We cannot conceive why he should make such a recommendation unless it is to put this class of publications out of business. Weekly journals would be compelled to either pay first-class postage in order to get the former service or they would be forced to discontinue their agencies. This is the culmination of the Post master General's fight to raise the price on second-class mail-matter. He was unable to accomplish this and yet his efforts in other directions have caused a surplus in the treasury in the Post Office Department. We are unable to tell how far this war-fare shall extend, but we are of the opinion that the next Presidential election will tend to clarify the atmosphere and give us all relief. THE TRUE REFORMERS We doubt if we are sufficiently well advised relative to the present status of the True Reformers to express an opinion. Still, we have noted with regret the recent resignations on the part of Dr John F Merriflower as Grand Worthy Treasurer and Attorney J. Thomas Newsome as General Counsel. In many senses and from many angles the retirement of the latter is especially unfortunate at this stage of the proceedings. It is always a questionable transaction to swap counsel on the ove of a litigation or prosecution and it is never done by men of conservative judgment when it can be avoided We are unwilling to believe without positive evidence to that effect, that Attorney Newsome has been "holding with the hare and running with the hounds" in this matter. So far as we have been able to observe, the primary cause of the trouble was the alloged insufficiency of the compensation accorded a man of his reputation and practice for the service rendered and the inability or unwillingness of the present corp of officers to increase the amount. Attorney Newsome is absolutely correct in saying that no first-class lawyer could afford to give all of his time to the Order, reelinguishing General Counsel Newsome Resigns. (Continued From Pare Number) ning, under very peculiar circumstances. In the first place, a part of the old regime of officers was, in charge, one of them, W. P. Burrell, a man of national reputation as a fraternal insurance expert. From my viewpoint, certain directors of the various corporations of the True Reformers were liable either civilly or criminally, possibly both, for the embarrassments of the Organization. To determine whether pr not this assumption was correct, it was necessary to examine with great care, caution, and in detail, the charters of the various corporations, the minutes covering nearly thirty years, and the law applicable to the case of course men of education, legal training, and experience, realize that this task was tremendous. Unfortunately, however, our race is not overloaded with such men. In a large number of our secret and fraternal organizations the stock in trade of the leaders is the power of abuse, the ability to tell funny stories and the disposition to enlarge the pronoun 'F'. Another great difficult) was the conflicting interests of the Bank and the society proper. On the one hand, able, influential and resourceful lawyers representing the depositors of the Bank claimed everything as the Bank's property, while on the other hand the Grand Fountain, whose very existence depends upon the opposite view looked to me to vindicate its right. From the very beginning I have been hampered embarrassed and almost traced by an inane demand made upon me to come to Richmond. A moment's thought would show how foolish such a requirement was. The facts were all before me. The great question was how and where to find the law of the case. Two or three times every week since last February I have travelled to Richmond at my own expense, mingled freely with the people enemies, and friends addressed a large number of public meetings arranged the testimony for thirty seven instruments testified for five days before the Grand Jury resisted successfully the application for a Receiver written thousands of letters conferred with scores of lawyers and all the white I have been prepare for the great battle that must settle for all times the destiny of the True Reformers. Meantime the generosity of the press white and colored, in commending my efforts, the applause that greeted me in the public meetings and the praise that came to me from men of prominence white and black, began to stir up much jealousy in certain directions and a conspiracy was started to ruin my reputation. If I was seen on the streets in conversation with an indicted official the rumor at once wore the rounds that I had sold out. If I owed a man in Richmond one dollar which I sometimes had to borrow because my business had almost gone to wreck at home by reason of my attention to the work of the True Reformers. It immediately became the subject of a public gossip. If I stopped at a hotel and mingled with the prominent men whom I might meet there I was added and admonished to be a little more circumspect. When a receivership was applied for to take a receivership was published far and wide that the act on was instigated by me because one of the lawyers in the case was at one time my partner And all of this was done in spite of the fact that my whole soul was in the work. I have labored late and early to prepare myself, have not eat an breakfast or dinner at home a dozen times since last February, have gotten greatly in debt and have been insulted, humiliated, and ridiculed until I have been almost driven crazy COULD NOT GIVE DAILY SERVICE To add to this burden, I was ordered right on the eve of the great criminal trials to give daily service in Richmond when it is absolutely necessary that I should give every moment to study and make preparations for the cases. I have resigned my trust but I have not relinquished one whit my interest in the True Reformers. I have called upon Judge Witt and Commonwealth's Attorney, Minetree Fowkes, to permit me to assist in the prosecution of the criminal cases, and I shall go right on with my civil suits. I have made some friends in Richmond, whom I shall always hold in grateful memory and I know of no man there that I have done an injury. To those who have sought to put me in a false light before my countrymen, I have no word of consure. I leave them to the sting of their own conscience and to the reward they are sure to receive from Almighty God. Newport Newa, Va. Doc 20 12:11 Hon Samuel B. Witt Judge Hustings Court, Richmond, Virginia Dear Judge. The object of this letter is to ask your good offices to the end that I may be permitted to participate actively in the prosecution of the ex-officials of the True Reformor whose trials are set for January 5, 1912. Because of the prominence of the colored men indicted, the suspicions and penalties of some of the men with whom I have been associated, as well as the wicked designs of a few individuals to ruin by reputation among my people in this country, rumors have been circulated far and wide that I have sold out or in some way compromised the interest of the Grand Fountain. I therefore call upon you, an honorable Virginia gentleman, to allow me to vindicate my name and honor by participating in the prosecutions that will commence January 5th. his practice and removing to Richmond upon a salary of one hundred dollars per month. When the fact is considered that the Order is practically upon probation and its future existence a question of the skill and ability of Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin and his corp. of assistants, it booms all the more out of the question for a man, who has a family to support, to accept such a compensation. The Grand Worthy Master is making a sacrifice himself, which few men would be willing to make in his effort to rehabilitate the Ordpr. He is meeting with handicaps and obstacles that his predecessors in their painless days were not called upon to confront. His services should be worth as much as one and a half times as the thesis. Yet he is beset on every side with embarrassing situations and puzzling problems, being "damned if he photo and damned if he don't Attorney Newsome is sensitive and he relles greatly upon the advice of friend and supposed friends. In the midst of all of this his resignation was practically demanded, for the order given could be susceptible of no other construction. He could not obey it Grand Worthy Master W.R. Griffin wants a lawyer in the office continually. He will have one there. We are not placing our judgment alongside of his judgment for the reason that "we cannot see in his hand" and we are not fully advised as to the cause for his action. It may be that he has acted for the best and the has, results will tell We are of the opinion that the new management should have a fair trial unharmed by conflicting interests. To this end, it may call for resignations from such officials who may choose to hand them over. The pub he expected much of Mr. Newsome and will naturally feel disappointed over his retirement upon the ove of the great legal struggle Harmony must be the watch word. Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin can well afford to "pocket" his resentment felt in connection with those who are unfriendly to him in his course and who are trying to bring about his overthrow. He can build up a "machine" which will prove to be of service in one direction and may bring about his undoing in another It behooves all of us though to give him our support with the idea of ascertaining just how far he is able to succeed and place the Order upon its feet again. He has energy, courage and the youth necessary for the struggle. He and his followers alone, supplemented by the good-will of the public can answer the question "Can the True Reformers come back?" Follow-Up System. By J J Shepperson. Drake a Branch, Va. A series of solicitations usually consisting of several form letters, but sometimes sent with other printed matter—mailed at intervals to prospective customers, is called a follow-up system. As to how many letters a follow-up system should include is a question not yet fully decided. Much depends on the value of the article advertised, and the class of people addressed. If it be something that people deliberate over a long time as selecting a school for a daughter's education, buying a property or a piano, etc., as many as 8 or 12 letters may be included in the system. It is the general custom, however, to include three letters and these are sent at intervals of 8 or 10 days. Whether to make the best offer in the first letter or not is a question for careful consideration, depending, as in other cases, on the interest already aroused in the prospective and the offers competitors are making. There is much waste in some follow-up system. Some advertisers get up a series of 6 or 8 letters without regard to article advertised or their class of customers, and they sometimes even forget their competitors. It costs money to get up a follow-up system, whether it sells the goods or not, and no advertiser can afford if unless results are forthcoming. It should be remembered that the offers and conditions should be repeated in each form letter, and each one independent in itself. It is a mistake to have a second one dealing with the offers because when the second is reached the first may be misplaced and its contents forgotten. $150.00 ENDOWMTNT PAID. Graham, Va., 1911.

The forcing of my resignation just a few days before the trial of these cases makes it necessary for me to appeal to you, as the oyes of the entire Negro race are upon me. Wishing you the compliments of the season, I am, with great respect. Your truly. J. THOS. NEWSOME Newport News, Va., Dec. 26, 1841. Hon. Minetree Fowlkes. Commonwealth's Attorney. Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir: The forcing of my resignation just a few days before the trial of the indicted ex-officials of the True Reformers and the malicious rumors that have been circulated against me far and wide to the effect that I have sold out to those officials, make it necessary that I should ask you, in justice to myself that I may be allowed to participate actively in the prosecution of them. I assure you that I am familiar with the facts of the case, upon the law, and, if permitted to do so, I shall do my best to be of service to you. I have useless in many, very important criminal cases in this section, been associated with quite a few of Virginia's ablest attorneys, and I try to deport myself properly If being a great Negro organization that has been wrecked, the race will feel especially grateful to you, if you will permit one of its own sons to assist in the prosecution of those charged with its undoing With compliments of the season. CLAIMS NEWSOME NEGLECTED DUTY Head of Grand Fountain Demanded That He Stay in Richmond or Resign. Pointed comments fill two letters written by Grand Worthy Master W R Graffin to J Thomas Newsome, whose resignation as general counsel for the True Reformers was referred to in the Times-Dispatch of Sunday Newsome claimed that he had been humiliated and subjected to gross injustice. One of the letters under date of December 11 was either that Newsome resign or spend his time in the offices of the order in Richmond, instead of at Newport News, where he lives. The other accepts the resignation In the first missive Worthy Master Griffin reminds the attorney that the Grand Fountain is paying him $100 per month and asserts that the best interests of the organization were not being looked after "None of the indicted officers" the letter says. Are transferring their properties and we must be protected legally by some one who can afford to give the service the interest of the order demands." Replying to the letter of resignation, the Worthy Master says it will be a good think for the order, "as it will put us in a position to get a lawyer who will endeavor to get together some of the property) in the rightful name of the Grand Mountain that we have not received any rents from for three or four years. He mentions some of these pieces of property including that in Baltimore, "that you were ordered to look after and failed to do so. Since August 22 the letter says Newsome has not spent in the office in Richmond three hours altogether. If Newsome has been housed it proceeds, his own acts caused it. The letter further calls for the return of some money said to be in Newsome's hands and there is mention of a check for $122 50 given to pay for filing suits and attaching properties of former officials of the order. TimesDispatch December 27, 1911 V M L Zion Conference The Virginia and Albemarle Conference of the A M. E. Zion Connection, met in joint session in Petersburg, Va., Nov 29, 1911, with Bishop J W. Hood, D. D. L. D., and Bishop G W. Clinton, A. M., D. D. presiding. The session was grand in every respect, and the reports from the various charges showed much improvement along all lines, both spiritual and financially. The money raised in both conferences during the year for all purposes aggregate about $65,000 Peace and harmony provailed throughout the entire sessions. The preaching was of high order. The sermons by Bishop G W. Clinton, held presiding older of North Carolina, and Dr. Morrey, of Elizabeth City, which we delivered on Sunday, were soul stirring; loud hallelujahs were heard in every direction. Other great sermons were preached by Dr Corrothors, of Washington, D. C.; Dr. Colhart, of Kentucky and Dr. King, of Edenton, N. C. Never in the history of the A. M. E Zion Church was there such a manifestation of the presence of the Holy Ghost from start to finish. Bishop J W Hood, the Senior Bishop of that Church and the oldest Negro Bishop in the world, is a man of almost unbounded resources in thought and ideas as to the operation of the connection. When he speaks the whole connection stops to listen; his life is entirely wrapped up in the church of his choice and the future of the race. White Bishop G. W. Clinton is known as the pulpit orator of the connection, his vast knowledge of Scripture of men and the business world causes him easily to rank with the greatest men of the age. The next sessions will be held in November, the Albemarle conference at Elizabeth City, and the Virginia conference at Franklin, Va. The writer was returned to Richmond, when we hope to be able in the near future to call the Virginia conference, trusting that our stars in the capital of the Old, Dominion may prove a God-send to all concerned. Our motto being righteousness, mercy and truth. Our business is to lift up Christ. Our work the uplift of fallen humanity, the ingathering of Immortal Souls and the waging of war against the power of darkness. To this end we shall labor until the Master calls. Florence, S. C., Dec. 19, 1911. At a meeting of the Emancipation Day Association, held at Leys's on the 18th instant, the secretary was instructed to write Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C.; that the colored citizens of Florence had unanimously agreed that he should be the orator of the day to deliver the Emancipation oration on Monday, January 1, 1912, at Florence, S. C. at Trinity Baptist Church. Quito a large crowd of people will visit the city on that day to hear this distinguished gentleman and leader. Respectfully, E. B. WEBSTER, Secretary. I A. G. Vanderbilt Weds Mrs. McKim. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and Mrs. Margaret Emerson McKim, daughter of captain James E. Emerson of Baltimore, wore married at Roligato, near London. They have gone on a motor wedding trip. It was said at the Vanderbilt apartments in London that their destination was not known. The bride, who is a daughter of Captain Isaac Emerson, millionaire patent medicine manufacturer, of Baltimore, obtained a divorce from Dr McKim at Rono, Nevada, in August, 1910. They were married Dec. 30, 1902. Mr Vanderbilt was divorced by the beautiful Mrs Else French Vanderbilt on May 25, 1908, Justice O'Gorman, of the New York supreme court, granting a decree on the report of a referee, who had found Mr Vanderbilt guilty of misconduct. The decree provided that Mr Vanderbilt should not marry during the lifetime of Mrs. Else French Vanderbilt, but permitted her to marry during his lifetime. Family Wiped Out by Murder. Some time between last Tuesday noon and evening an Italian farm band employed by the Mormor family, at the Freestreet, a Rensselaer County hamlet, six miles from Albany, N.Y., slow Mrs Conrad Morner, a widow; her two daughters, Edith, aged twenty, and Blanche, aged seventeen, and her son, Arthur, twenty-eight. The bodies of the three women were discovered in the cow barn on the Mormor farm. They had been so hacked with a hatchet and battered with a balstick that the murderer had been able to crush all three of them into a small manure pit on the side of the stable. The body of Arthur Morner, mutilated and with the throat cut, was found under another part of the barn floor. A blood stained hatchet and a four-foot club were found in the pit near the three bodies of the women, and with these the police believe th murderer first killed and then mutilated these victims. Mrs. Mornor had received a blow from the hatchet on the right side of the head and her skull was fractured in several places. The body of the elder girl, Edith, also was badly cut and bruised. Her head was nearly severed, by a blow from the hatchet, and there was a large hole in her loft temple. The younger girl's body was the least mutilated. What money there was in the house before the murder was found intact, Indications, the authorities say, point to the murderer as being insane. They are looking for traces of a farm hapl, an Italian, who was known as Edward Dinnia. An Italian farmhand known as Edward Dinnia is under arrest.

Lillian Graham and Ethel Courad were acquitted in New York of the charge of attempting to kill W. K. D. Stokes. The jury which freed the chorus girls believed their story that they shot Stokes in self defense. It was not impressed by Stoken's account of the gunplay and the circumstances that led up to the shooting. Persons who talked to the jurymen said it was evident that they considered Stokes as well as the chorus girls had boon on trial The vordict surprised both sides. Counsel for the chorus girls figured on a disagreement or, at the worst, a conviction on the second count of the indictment, assault in the second degree. Assistant District Attorneys Buckner and Embree expected a verdict of guilt of assault in the first or second degree. Both young women were powerfully affected by the two words that lifted them out of trouble, Miss Courd particularly Her hysterical screams shrilled through the courtroom long after the jurors had departed. Tuan-Fang Killed by His Golders. Tuan-Fang, former director general of the Hukwang railroad, and at one time vicoy of the province of Chi-Li, has, according to information received in Peking by missionaries at Chung-King, been killed at Tse-Chow, in Shan Si province, by his own soldiers. Tuan-Fang previously dined with his officers, and suspecting their disloyalty, offered them 40,000 tools for a safe passage to Shan-Fu, the capital of Shen Si province. He then sought to escape in a chair, his brother accompanying him, but the soldiers detected Tuan-Fang and one of them slashed him with a sword. "Would you kill me?" asked the general. The chorus, "Yes, knuckle!" came from the soldiers. To this Tuan-Fang answered: "I shall not kneel. You may kill me if you choose." The soldiers then fell upon the general and hacked his body to pieces. His brother also was killed. Tuan-Fang was one of the most prominent men in China. Holy Ghoster Gets Ten Years in Jail. Ten years in the fodder prison at Atlanta was the sentence imposed upon the Rev. Frank W. Sandford, leader of the Holy, Ghost and Us Society of Sibloh, in Portland, Me. for causing the deaths of six persons on the yacht Coronet. Sentence was pronounced by Judge Clarence Hale in the United States district court, on the first of six counts of the indictment, which charged manslaughter in causing the death of six of his followers by neglect, in failing to provide the necessaries of life on the recently completed seven months' cruise along the shores of three continents. Every seat was taken in court and scores stood in the alley. Interest had been heightened by reports that federal investigators had been at Shiloh in the gulse of converts to watch Sandford and report his mental condition. After Sandford reaches Atlanta, if his acts warrant, it is possible he may go to the federal insane hospital at Washington. Another Grandson Born to Kaiser.

An exchange of communications between the Italian foreign office and the chancelleries of other European powers is proceeding at the present moment with the greatest activity. The subject of the communications is the war in Tripoli, but the question of the renewal of the triple alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy is also being discussed. Efforts are being made both by the government in Constantinople and the Italian foreign office to find a possible basis for the conclusion of peace between the two countries. The negotiations regarding the triple alliance are of the most important character, as it is conceivable that they might even result in the withdrawal of Italy from the alliance and the consequent strengthening of the triple entente between Great Britain, France and Russia. The Italian ambassador to Berlin is now in Rome, where he is giving a verbal report to the foreign minister, the Marquise di San Glulano, as to the disposition of Germany. BROTHER KILLS BROTHER Fought Duel to the Death Before Their Mother. As their mother looked on, two brothers fought till one of them dropped dead, at Wheat, Roane county, Tenn.

A Tale of New Year's Long Ago. THE sun was sinking behind the western mountains, bringing to a close the last day of the year. I stood at the window looking westward and silently comparing the vanishing gold with the dreams of youth driven away by the chilling winter of old age. Grandmother sat knitting by the firelight. "I am thinking of my wedding, sixty years ago tonight," she said in answer to my question. "and it seems as yesterday. My wedding was set for the last day of the year, so that we could begin our housekeeping with the new year. The relatives came from Virginia, and more than fifty stayed all night. The negro quarters were overfull of the extra help, and the black cooks slept on the kitchen floor before. M. P. M. "DURS THE WITHERSPoon FAMILY LIVE HEART" IS INQUIRIED. the fires, and Dutch ovens where fur- keys were roasting, and cooking was going on all night. "The wedding was by early candle- light at the little chapel in the woods. It was a short walk across the meadow, and the last old moon of the year was shining in the weat. The little black boys carried torches at the head of the procession. At last the wedding breakfast was over, and the procession formed, all on horseback, to 'Accompany' us to the manor house, where we were to entertain for three days. No tears were shed at my wedding, for in those days we were not troubled with doubts and fears as to how things would turn out. Everybody know your grandfather's people, and he had been a seemly bachelor for five and thirty years, while I was a young chit just turned eighteen. The road was ten miles from my father's home to the manor farm. There were more than twoscore of cousins in the wedding procession. I rode on a pillow behind your grandfather, and so rode all the married couples. "About the gate were all the field hands, the men, women and children, shouting: 'Welcome the brider! Joy to the bride!' The gate was opened by two tail fine looking black boys, pure blooded Africans. Your grandfather called them to him as we passed through the gate and said: 'This is Daniel, your house boy, Nancy, and this is Curblin, my body servant. They have grown up on the place.' The black boys shut the gate and raced off through the trees to the house.' "You want to know about Curbin? It has been a mystery to me these many years. He disappeared with the second year of my marriage. New Year's day was a great occasion for him. He was devoted to your grandfather and faithful in all his service. I noticed a change in him after I came home from the north from my brother's wedding in Rochester, N. Y. Your Uncle Ben was a baby, and when I had been away a month your grandfather came after me with the carriage and Curbin to take care of the baby. Curbin was a better nurse than Aunt Judy, and the baby took to him. This was in October, and Curbin disappeared with the old year. "The year previous he had been in love with a free black girl from Pennsylvania who had come as maid to Consol Suny from Harrisburg. But when she went home Curblin made no sign, and we functed he had forgotten her. As long as your grandfather lived he used to any he was certain Curblin would come back some day, and as he lay dying he said: 'Is Curblin here? I thought I heard his voice.'" Grandmother prayed and was silent. A knocking was heard on the porch door, and I went to open it. The snow was still 'falling, and the bent figure of an aged colored man stood in the doorway. "Doe the Witerspoon family live here?" he inquired. "I am Mrs. Nancy Witerspoon," spoke up by grandmother, who was notable for her charitition. "Will you come in out of the snow?" The old man, carefully brushing off the snowfaken, stepped into the hall. Grandmother waited to hear his petition. E looked about the ancient room, lighted only by the great long fire on the hearth. "The tall clock in the corner ticked solemnly for a moment and then struck the hour before he spoke. "It is just the same," he said, as if talking to himself, "but there has add- Bill-Heads, Letter and Note Heads, Envelopes, Business @ Visiting Cards, Policies, Medical Blanks, Insurance Blanks, Financial Cards, Lodge Books, Labels, Checks, Check Books, Minutes, Pamphlets, Whole Sheet Posters, Handbills, Placards.

Devoted to the Interests of the Citizens of Color. ed a weight of years. Miss Nancy sits in the little chair by the fire, the old mintlock hangs above the chimney- piece, the old clock pictures the dying morn. Don't you know me, Miss Nancy? "No, my good man," said grandmother. "I do not recollect having seen you before." "Don't you remember Curbin, Miss Nancy?" "Curbin!" said gruddmother. "Curbin! Yes; I recollect Curbin, who ran away fifty-eight years ago tonight. What of Curbin?" "I am Curbin, Miss Nancy." "Yes, Miss Nancy, I am, but I surely thought you would know me." "I do know you," said grandmother kindly, "but you must make allowance for changes, and if you are Curbin draw that chair near the fire and tell me where you have been all these years." And the old servant told his story, with many pauses and reflections, looking anxiously again and again at the doorway as if expecting some one. His love for the free girl Eliza had been deeper than his master imagined, and from time to time she had communicated with him.

When urged to spend the night in the old homestead no declined with a sad dignity that hughed any insistence to change his decision. "It has been my dream these many winters to see this New Year's dawn with my old master, but how it has come too late," he said sorrowfully at parting. And the solitary figure went forth alone into the snow and the silence of the night. "Now Year's morning dawned. A brilliant winter sun illuminated a cloudless sky and a mountain valley shrouded in a robe of spotless snow. The sexton, clearing a path through the churchyard, found beside one of the tombs the kneeling figure of an old colored man covered by a snowdrift. ```markdown ``` Journal in Images of Color.
