(Allen's National News Bureau 252 W. 53rd Street.) The 24th Quadrennial session of the A. M. E. Zion Church which held a three weeks' session from May 1st to 22nd, at Clinton Chapel in the beautiful city of Charlotte, N. C., ended a most notable session. In many respects it was the most notable General Conference of the church held in many years and was attended of upwards of 360 delegates who came from every section of the country, as well as from Africa and of the West Indies. It was the first time in four years that an opportunity to see the great Zion Church in a body and study the personnel of the prominent Zion predators, as well as the great host of Zion field workers who are represented in the body of well trained ministers, prominent laymen and missionary workers. The reports at the conference of the various General Officers indicated that all departments of the Church Bishop Alexander Walter. were on a solid basis that the educational department which has under its control 11 well equipped institutions, was doing much for the educational needs of the race and that the work in Africa under the strong leadership of the Zion Missalonaries was in a better condition than at any other period of the Church's history. Special reference was made to the financial department of the Church which is said to be in a better condition than any other Negro body in the world. The beautiful city of Charlotte known as the Queen City of the Tar heel State royally welcomed the great conference, and provided every comfort for the delegates and visitors to the conference. The good white citizens who were impressed with the great Negro gathering joined in making the conference welcome within the portals of the great Southern city. At the close of the conference the editor of the Evening Chronicle, one of the most influential dailies in the city praised the personnel of the Conference in a strong editorial which is calculated to do much to wards making friends for the con- During the three weeks' session many grave and important matters pertaining to the connection were discussed, and nothing occurred to mar the success of the gathering. Many prominent visitors among whom were Booker T. Washington addressed the Conference and praised the connection for the maintenance of such a strong representative body that is doing so much to show the capacity of the Negro to manage large affairs. Acting upon the recommendation of the Bishops the Conference did not elect any new Bishops, but there were several changes in the General officers. Prominent among the great Zion churchmen who were signally honored at the conference was Dr. John C. Dancy who was elected Secretary of Church Extension, one of the most prominent offices in the connection. The election of Dr. Dancy to this office is especially satisfactory to the connection the country over as Dr. Dancy has long been considered one of the most native men in the connection. Dr. J. S. Jackson the Financial Secretary and one of the leading as pirants for the bishopric was reelected to the office of Financial Secretary. Others who were reelected were Dr. George Clemett, editor of the Star of Zion, and F. K. Bird, the Manager of the Publishing House. Other changes are Missionary Secretary. Dr. J. W. Wood; Editor of the Quarterly Review, Dr. L. W. Kyles, Rev. M. D. Lee was elected Secretary of General Conference and Dr. S. G. Atkins, Secretary of Education was retained. The reports from each department indicated that during the past four years over a half million dollars have been raised for all purposes. This amount was raised independent of the money that was raised for the support of the 5,500 churches under the jurisdiction of the General Conference. Perhaps the most picturesque and interesting prelate at the Conference was Bishop J. W. Hood, senior Bishop of the connection, who has passed his eightieth year. Bishop Hood who is the oldest living Negro prelate in the world who has grown gray in the service of his church and race was an inquiring figure. The significant thing of it all was that when Bishop Hood called the great conference to order on the opening day, he stood where he stood forty years ago when a young man he was ordained Bishop in Clinton Chapel. In his opening address Bishop Hood said: that the Bible truth, that the wicked shall not live out half their days, was true; and that it was by the goodness of God that he had been allowed to live out to see such a ripe old age. Perhaps one of the most inspiring features of the Conference was the address of Dr. Booker T. Washington one of the most prominent laymen in the Country. Dr. Washington on arriving in the city received a tremenous oyation, from the churchmen. Speaking in his usual optimistic vein Dr. Washington in a ringing hopeful address, sent a thrill through the large audience that remained until the last of the Conference. Dr. Washington praised the Zion church for the great work it was doing for race uplift, and spoke of the prominence of Bishop Clinton whom he numbers among his greatest friends. W. R. Pettiford, President of the Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, Ala., also spoke before the Conference. The Quadrennial address of the Bishops was a notable one, and was said to be one of the most inspiring addresses ever heard before a general session of the church. The address was especially optimistic and was full of many helpful things hearing upon the work of the connection. In the address every department of the Church was carefully gone over and found to be in perfect working order. In the quadrennial address in calling attention to the state of the country the Bishops deplored the fact the race had but few friends on the Supreme Court bench. A portion of the address on the state of the country read as follows: "We are made to suffer considerably through adverse decisions handed down by the Supreme Court of the Nation. That august body has never been a conservator of our interest. It seems that we had but a few friends on the bench." Continuing, the report read, "The best friend we had on the bench was the late Justice John Harlan who departed this life in 1911, and who did, what he could for us in a righteous way. When he could not help us in cases where the court should rule in our favor, he would dissent that the coming generation could see when they scand the pages of the decisions of the Supreme Court that there was one Justice on the bench in those days who dared to act according to his conscience." In speaking of the educational department of the church the following was said: "We have under our control eleven schools. Of these Livingstone is our oldest and main institution. We see no reason why this school should not become a great university and all the rest of our schools should be secondary to the present school and serve as preparatory schools. "We should congratulate ourselves on the acquisition of the Carnegie library building which was presented to the church by that great and good man Andrew Carnegie, at a cost of $16,500.00. It will stand as a monument to the giver and as a reminder of the splendid work done by Bishop G-W. Clinton, Doctors W. H. Goler, J. E. Mason and Booker T. Washington who influenced Mr. Carnegie to give this amount. This church cannot praise Dr. Goler too high for this splendid achievement at Livingstone College. The Quadrennial address also called attention to the splendid condition of the Church Extension Department, Missionary Department, the Women's Home & Foreign Missionary Society, Varick Christian Endeavor Union. It also spoke of the General Department, the Publication House, the Star of Zion, the Quarterly Review, the Brotherhood, the Sunday School De (Continued On Eighth-Page.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY. JUNE 22. 1912. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION AT CHICAGO C WILLIAM H. TAFT, Ohio By H. V. ANDREWS. THE REPUBLICAN national convention of 1812 will be the greatest in point of numbers in the history of the party and, the political prophets are agreed, the most momentous since wartimes. It will be the climax of a pronunciation contest unexamined in the annals of the United States. If not of the world. For anything like a parallel it is necessary to go back to the Chicago convention of 1880, when Conkling and Garfield were the dashing leaders of the opposing forces of General Grant, who had been put forth for a third term, and of John Sherman, Ohio's choice for the nomination, while Blaine loomed up as a formidable competitor. The faithful 306 delegates who stood fast for Grant have become almost as famous in American political as the Bubuklava 000 are in British military history, and from this convention dated the factional strife of "stalwarts" and "half breeds" that rent the party and inspired the fanatic Gulteau to take the life of Garfield, who, as a "dark horse," was the winner in the convention: Popularity of "the Plumed Knight." Barring Roosevelt in the zenith of his popularity, no Republican aspirant for the presidency since Lincoln has elicited such enthusiasm from his supporters us James G. Blaine. Unsuccessful in the conventions of 1870 and 1880, he secured the nomination in 1884, only to be defeated at the polls. He refused to be considered as a candidate in 1888, but in 1892, though stricken with a mortal disease, he allowed his name to go before the convention, where it evoked the most remarkable demonstration of enthusiasm that a Republican nominating assemblage had ever known. But the crowds in the galleries could pot vote, and the delegates on the floor when the storm of cheering had passed named Harrison for the presidency. Since 1892 the Republican conventions have not been memorable for hard fought contests. McKinley at St. Louis in 1896 overcame all opposition on the first ballot. He was renominated without a contest at the Philadelphia convention in 1900, when Roosevelt was chosen to fill second place on the ticket. The latter's nomination in 1904 was a foregone conclusion, and the perfectly oiled machinery of the 1908 convention accomplished the nomination of Taft without a jar. It is safe to predict that, whatever may happen at the Chicago Coliseum on June 18 and the days following, the proceedings will be distinctly different from those of any Republican convention of recent years.

A Dusky Here There is a Negro boy in Canton, Texas who has proven himself a real hero, and there are two happy parents in the vicinity of the little town who feel that they never can pay the debt of gratitude they owe him for the rescue of their darling baby from a singering death. Little Calvin, Stepp, a child of three years, fell into a 60 foot hored well. It was dry and had been a bandoned, but was insecurely corroded. Owing to the fact that the well was very narrow only 13 inches in diameter, the body of the child struck from side to side, thus breaking the force of the fall. Strange as it may seem, the little one was unharmed. Its voice could be heard calling: "Tome, dit me out." The mother instilled upon being lowered into the well and she made a desperate effort to descend but her shoulders could not be forced through the narrow opening. For two hours or more, fruitless attempts at rescue continued. Hope was dying in the hearts of all when Elbert Gray, a Negro lad, of 13, arrived at the well. "I'll go down." he said. A rope was fastened about his body and he was lowered, feet foremost, to the bottom of the well. He grasped the child by the sleeves of its dress and the two were raised 40 feet when the cloth tore apart and the child fell to the bottom again. The brave Negro boy's head was bruised and bleeding when he was drawn to the top, but he was eager to attempt the rescue again. A loop was fastened about his ankles and he was lowered into the cavity head downward. He carried a rope in his hands with which he made a noose under the baby's arms. Both were swiftly drawn to the top neither very much injured. Glad cheers from the crowd and tearful thanks from the parents greeted the black Negro. Twenty-five dollars was raised for him at the well and a much larger sum was given him in town. Truly, as has been said, of him. "Bravery is not all in uniform and an intrepid heart may beat under a ragged shirt and a black skin"—Grit. Mertweather's Position for Divorce Dismissal.

He had become an enthusiast about club sandwiches which he had not tasted before this summer when I first made his acquaintance, and so I was careful that there was a goodly supply of these toothsome "entire meat" sandwiches in the lunch basket. There was also a great square of frosted gingerhead, and wrapped in a unkink were several flaky plum tarts. In one corner of the basket was a tall bottle of dandelion wine. All these delicacies were produced by the skillful hands of Miss Maria Weeks, with whom I boarded. Crabbing is a favorite pastime among the summer visitors at Quince Haven. One enters a sturdy flat bottomed skiff and, leaving the deeper waters of the bay, seeks the narrow channel leading into Little Quince harbor. This channel is navigable only at high tide, and if one is so unfortunate as to remain within the charming circle of Little Quince hills until the tide has ebbed it is only a three mile trump around the beach to Quince Haven, with another trip back to the crabbing grounds for the skiff when the tide next serves. Captain Barnabas Fish know the tide as well as he did the wind and weather and the set of clouds, so we reached the little channel just as the tide flowed deep enough to carry us swiftly through its narrow width into Little Quince harbor. Once in here, Captain Barnabas allowed the skiff to drift quietly along the low shore among the tall, poorly salt grasses. The crab nets were brought forth, and each of us took a long pole and wartly dredged for the succulent crustaceans. Now and then one of us would bring up a pole with the net bag heavily weighted with the black wriggling creatures, or perhaps one lone captive would cling by a single claw to the netting. As nood approached the pile in Captain Barnabas' big basket grew higher, and at last we gave up the sport and polled the skiff into the cool shadow of wild plum bushes overhanging from the high bank. From under the bank little rills of ice cold water gushed from hidden springs, and here we washed our hands and returned to the skiff for lunch. Captain Barnabas wanted to broil PARKER "A gigantic figure that gave vent to a snarling yell." some crabs on a hastily constructed driftwood fire, but I vetoed the suggestion, tempting us it was. I presented one of his loved club sandwiches, and his gray eyes twinkled appreciatively. "It's better 'n broiled crabs," he murmured from the midst of a huge bite of crisp toast, lettuce leaf, mayonnaise, chicken breast and tender bacon. "You never tasted anything quite so delicious even on that treasure island of yours," I declared meaningly. "Hi, ho!" roared the captain, slapping his knee vigorously. "I knew there was something back of that sandwich. Mia Telham! Now, I was going to tell you that story today anyway, so you might have kept all your brides to home." "Then you shall tell it all the better for the sandwiches," I returned, undaunted by his laughter. "I hope it a story where you were cast ashore without even a bag of blacuita—the sound so dry and unpalatable. I'm sure bread fruit and cocoangta—are much more delicious." They're delicious, all right, agreed the captain amblily, helping himself to another sandwich, "but you get tired of eating fruit even on a desert island, and hardtack ain't to be depicted even if it is washed down by state water, not when you're hungry. Now. Amantias sline ain't in this story, so I shall have to stick to the truth and tell you we were not cast ashore, but we rowed to the island right and proper in a ship's dinghy, with a keg of water and a bag of biscuits and some tins of salt horse stowed in the bow. We also took some picks and shovels and some guns. "We knew the little island like a book. It was not far from the west coast of Central America and had been ding over one end to the other by different treasure seekers, all after the same hidden gold and jowls. I can't stop to tell you the history surrounding the burrying of the treasure by the ollicent old pirate that ever sailed the seas in the days before Captain Kilda I can't tell you, either, of all the different expeditionals that combed that land from end to end without success, and at last we folks aboard the Indus resolved to have a try at it one voyage when we was sailing light from San Francisco to Valparaiso, where we were going to pick up a cargo of nitrate. "Four of us wept ashore in the dingy, and the minuter we stepped on that shell strown beach and heard the rushing of the palms and smelled the ripe fruit we knew, right away that we were going to find that treasure. There was something in the very atmosphere of the place that hinted at adventure, and we had plenty of it before we left. Thank you, man! I will take another piece of ginger bread. I don't reckon you made it! He inquired. I assured him that Miss Marla Weeks had concocted the spicy loaf, and I thought he looked tenderly reminiscent at the frosting before he removed a semicircle from his slice. I had a suspicion that in the distant past there might have lurked a tender romance between my companionable old salt and the rather grim spinster who "accommodated" me with room and board. I had my own plans for furthering this romance and the delicious lunch I had brought was only one of little traps I had prepared for the gentle, unappealing captain. "You went ashore"—I prompted him. "Yes, I'm am, we went ashore and made a little camp among the palms, and after we had had some supper we started off at a run for the place where we had calculated the treasure was buried. Of course every man who ever went to that island had a different theory as to where it was hid, but we thought ours was a sure guess, for Louis Franck, a Finn who was one of our crew, had an ancestor who had actually sailed with this bloody old pirate away back before the Revolutionary war days. Franck could recite the legend that had been handed down by his ancestor so gibly that he could tell it the same every time, and so after awhile we got to believe it was really so, and that was how it happened we decided to stop there. "Of course Franck was the leader and guide, for he said his ancestor had said that the chest was buried ten feet deep under a rock ten feet square. "We found the largest rock on the island, and it was only three feet six by six feet two, and it looked thin, and Franken said he thought it had been worn off by the wind and weather during all that time. It was snow white coral rock too. "The rock was set in a little grove of palm trees, and I suppose once it had rested on the sandy shore, but as the island grew larger and sand was washed up to form a new beach trees grew up around the stone until it really was about in the middle of the island when we found it. "We worked away pickling and prying at the loose sand around the rock and trying to get crownbars under it so as to lift it up when we smelled wood smoke." "What's that? I asked Franken. "The remains of our campfire," I told him, but afterward I found out I was wrong. "It soon grew dark, for we had been into in landing and we had not intended beginning operations until morning, but the thirst for adventure was strong within us and even while the shadows lengthened a full moon arose from the sea and we decided to continue the work by its light. "We had just pricked off the stone and sent it crashing into the undergrowth when there arose from our indap, apparently from the disturbed soil under the stone, a gigantic figure that gave vent to a sailing yell as he leaped into the moonlit space and faced us. "Miss Telham," said the captain impresively, emphasizing his words with successive tape of a horny forefinger against his other palm, "Miss Telham, believe me, madam, when I tell you that that figure was nothing more or less than the ghost of the bloody pirate who had buried the treasure." Captain Harmonus: I protested. He nodded. "That's what Louis Franck, the Finn, said. He said the critter looked just like the description his ancestor had handed down of the pirate who had buried the treasure. He whispered it to us, for I'll confess, ma'am. he muddled together all at once under the shock of seeing him and hearing his yell. I don't know which was the worst. He was a crazy looking thing: sure enough, as he pranced around there, waving a ragged looking knife and shouting all sorts of gibberish that nobody understood. "I told Frank it sounded to me like Finnish, but he said it was Italian, and Tony Laontl said it was German, and the mate, who was a Britsher, said it was pure French. From what I heard afterward I guess it was Irish Well, as I was saying, the pirate was crazy enough in looks—he wore, knee breeches and a loose white shirt and a red sash around his waist with all kinds of weapons stuck in it, and his —Subscribe to The PLANET.

We could see all this because the tropical moon made it like day there on the white beach. "How do you know it's a ghost? I whispered to Louis Franck, who shivered beside me. "He said the critter came from under the stone, and I couldn't deny it because it looked that way to me, and now as he capped around out there a sudden terror seized upon the whole four of us at once, and as we turned and ran he dashed into the thicket after us and away we went pell mell for the shore where we had left the boat. "As we ran I could feel my hair bristling on my head, and cold shivers ran down my spine. All I wanted was to reach the boat and push off for the ship. We were all young chaps and had our share of gallors' superstitions. If an older head had been along things might have turned out different.

The knife flashed in the moonlight, and then all at once he disappeared, and there remained nothing save a ball of weird blue light that floated through the air in our wake. "Captain Sackville declared it was a corpse light, and as our boat was holated to the davits he had all sails bent, anchors up, and away we went clipping along before a fresh nor-wester and at last, to our relief, leaving the blue light behind with the island far eastern." The captain replaced the luncheon basket in the stern of the skiff, ahifted the oars into the rowlocks and defyed shot out into Little Quince harbor. The blades of the oars riffled the placid surface in which the tall grasses were mirrored, and from a tall pine tree a red winged blackbird called. "Well? I asked impatiently, "Didn't you go back after the treasure?" The captain shook his head solemnly, although I am positive his eyes twinkled assessment. He leaned forward, and the skiff shot into the channel that led into Quince Harven harbor. "Miss Tolham, when we arrived in New York months afterward we read in the papers that at last Little Island had given up her treasure to a bold Irishman from Hackensack, N.

Among his acquaintances is a certain dintingished British who is a great invalid and spends most of his time in bed, a fact which, however, does not prevent him from receiving a great deal of company. One day while thus in bed the British received several guests. They all began to shiver and pull their costs about them as they huddled around the bed. "What!" exclaimed the invalid. "Is it cold here?" "We are freezing," answered a guest. "Thank you for telling me," said the distinguished invalid, who thereupon rang a bell. The guests supposed that he was summoning a servant to build a fire, but when his man came in the invalid said: "Mullins, bring me my down coverlet." - Harper's Magazine. GOMEZ AND MONTEAGUDO.

The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools holds its 9th annual session in Chattanooga, Tennessee, July 24-29th. The programs for this meeting are in press and will be issued within a short time. As usual the program will cover every feature of education among our people. In addition to the addresses in the larger meeting, round table conferences will be held in special subjecta. Among the speakers at this meeting we notice such well known men as Prof. Kelley Miller and Dr. L. B. Moore of Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Dr. M. W. Gillbert, President Selma University, Ala. President E. L. Blackshear, Prairie View, Texas: Prof. George E. Haynes Flak University, Nashville, Tenn. Miss Victoria Wallace of Kindergarten schools of St. Louis, and others whose names we cannot mention at this time. Very low round trip reduced rates have been secured over all the lines of the South Eastern Passenger Association. From certain points round trip rates are as follows: Washington, D. C., $19.35; Richmond, Va., $17.35; Greenabor, N. C., $13.15; Columbia, S. C., $11.40; Savannah, Ga., $13.15; Atlanta, Ga., $4.40; Nashville, Tenn., $4.80; Memphis, Tenn., $9.60; Louisville, Ky., $9.70; Birmingham, Ala., $4.55; Montgomery, Ala., $8.10; Mobile Ala., $12.65; Pensacola, Fla., $12.90 Jacksonville, Fla., $14.35; Jackson, Miss., $12.90; Vickaburg, Miss., $13.35; St. Louis, Mo., $17.25; New Orleans, La., $15.20; Cincinnati, O., $19.90. Correspondingly low rates are given from other points in the Southern Passenger Association in all of the States-East of the Mississippi River. The local committee of Chattanooga, with Mr. W. H. Singleton Chairman has organized in the most effective way for the entertainment of, the delegates. From several points already special, cars, delegations are being made up. The facts that Chattanooga is so central to most of the Southern States, and of the very low rates which the rail roads have granted, together with the attractiveness of Chattanooga as the lookout mountain city, promise the largest and most representative gathering that the association has yet had. Avere though it may be slow to take jurisdiction of matters confirming him in his political "rights" to vote as though he had a voting grandfather, the Supreme Court of the United States certainly does stick by the brother in black in his desire to march in the parade, wave the baton and blow on the big bassoon. Hereafter, if it is the law of the land that there is no trademark in society, societies which can support a color line. There is free trade in plumes, swords, and paraphernalia. Not only has the colored race the right to be Elks, Owls, Eagles and White Mice but it can also be Manons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and whatnot to its heart's content. All that is needed is the clothes and the trappings, and all Lodgegom can be distributed among as many colors as assume its mystic rights, signs, signals and pass words. All this came to pass because the Georgia Knights of Pythias objected to the assumption of the name and insignia of their order by certain imitative gentlemen of color. Indignantly they applied to the Georgia Courts for a restraining order, and got it. The Black Knights appealed. They have won their case. After all, what great difference does it make? The orders are supposedly of ancient lineage. Their secrets are secure, guarded by terrible oaths, to be divulged on pain of extreme penalties. The Negroes can have no possible way of ascertaining what goes on behind the closed doors. They may not touch the initiations or the rituals. In other words, they have only the vestments and not the "juice." In confirming them in the right to wear uniforms the Supreme Court has done them a good turn and done no harm to the White Pythians except as it has touched their pride. Considering the pride with which the average organization parades, it will take something more than a Supreme Court decision seriously to puncture it.-Richmond, Virginian. June 11, 1912. WOMAN MAY ESCAPE THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. Supreme Court Allows Writ of Error in Case 16-Year Old Virginia Christian, Who Murdered Mrs. Ida V. Belote. Virginia Christian, the sixteen year old colored girl condemned to die in the electric chair by an Elizabeth City county jury for the murder of her employer, Mrs. Ida V. Belote, of Hampton, may yet escape capital punishment. The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has granted a writ of error and supersedeeds in her case. This means that the prisoner will get a stay of execution, and that her counsel will have an opportunity to discuss the alleged errors of the trial court in the Commonwealth's highest tribunal. Many grounds of error are assigned by the girl's lawyers in the record they present to the Supreme Court and their prayer continues in these words: "Your petitioner is a Negra child not yet seventeen years of age, ignorant, friendless and with out the proper home training and environments that make for better citizenship, and she submits that it is the spirit of the law, as not forth in chapter 239 of the Acts of the General Assembly, session 1916, that the life of such a child should not be usurposed if the State can provide home asylum where she may be re- Bill-Heads, Letter and Note Heads, Envelopes, Business 2 Visiting Cards, Policies, Medical Blanks, Insurance Blanks, Financial Cards, Lodge Books, Labels, Checks, Check Books, Minutes, Pamphlets, Whole Sheet Handbills, Placards.

Devoted to the Interests of the Citizens of Color. formed if convicted." The fact remains, however, that the crime was a most atrocious one, which indicated that this girl, now pleading so loudly for mercy, was little short of a flend. Mrs. Belote, who weighed only about 100 pounds and was in delicate health, was killed March 15th. Her murderer appears to have been in a demoniac frenzy when she made the attack. Mrs. Belote was kicked, beaten and choked while the girl also attacked her with a cuspidor, which was broken to pieces over her head. Not satisfied with this, she rammed a towel down Mrs. Belote's throat, nor was this removed until after the mangled corpse was found. Suspicion quickly pointed to Virginia Christian and she was soon arrested at her home. When found she was engaged in making bread with other members of her family. Many technical grounds are assigned for the reversal of the lower court. Among other things it is said that a substitute police officer, by his threatening manner, forced the girl to make incriminating statements—in other words, subjected her to a sort of "third degree ordeal." Attention is also called to the fact that one of the minions of the law compelled the girl to weigh while she was in prison. The object of this apparently was to show the superiority of her physical strength to that of Mrs. Belote. It is further alleged that the Commonwealth's Attorney, at least by indirection, called the jury's attention to the fact that the accused did not take the witness stand in her own behalf. The law expressly forbids Commonwealth's Attorneys to follow this course. Many other grounds of error are alleged and many authorities and statutes are cited to support the content of Virginia's counsel. The indictment charging the girl with the murder of Mrs. Belote contained many counts, as the Common wealth wished to set forth with great particularity the many brutal methods adopted by Virginia in her frenzied effort to take the life of her victim. These, couched as they are in the dry colorless language of the law, give but an inadequate idea of the manner in which Mrs. Belote met her end. The testimony of witnesses is little short, of sickening. If the Supreme Court, after hearing all the arguments in the case, finally decides to sustain the lower court and the executive then refuses elemetry, Virginia Christian, of course, will have to go to the chair. And she will be the first woman to die in this fashion. Not since the year 1834 has a woman been executed in Virginia. —Journal, June 11, '13. Honors-For E. H. Blashfield, Artist. Edwin H.

Special reference was made in the address of the death of Bishops Martin R. Franklin and J. W. Smith who have died since the last quarantine session. The quarantinal address made special reference to the Zion's representatives at the Ecumenical Methodist Conference which met in the city of Toronto, Canada last October. The Bishops in their quardennial address were especially pleased with the impression the Zion delegates made at the Ecumenical Conference. The Zion delegates who shared in the honors of the Conference in Canada were Bishops G. W. Clinton, Alexander Walters Hoe, John C. Brownd, Prot. S. G. Alkins and Mrs. Anna Blackwell and Mrs. J. S. Jackson. The Bishops' address was well received and made a great impression upon the great gathering. The work of the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Society of which Mrs. J. W. Hood is president made a good report and indicated that these splendid, beautiful and consecrated women are doing much for the spreading of the gospel. The Zion connection is fortunate in having a large number of beautiful] earnest Christian women and their presence at the conference did much in the way of inspiration. SOME OF THE WOMEN AT THE CONFERENCE Among the interesting women as the General Conference, many of whom have represented the church and race on many important occasions and have made national reparations were Mrs. Anna Blackwell, the accomplished wife of Bishop Blackwell. She was an inspiring figure. At the Recumenal Conference in Canada Mrs. Blackwell rode in a horse-drawn carriage and church in a notable address before the Women's Missionary Society Mrs. Blackwell was the only colored woman present. Other well known and prominent women were Mrs. J. S. Jackson of Philadelphia, Mrs. Ida V. Smith, District President of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society Mrs. Daisy Johnson of Birmingham Ala, who is interested in the work of African boys, Mrs. Mary Small one of the organizers of the W. H. & F. M. S., Mrs. Ida Hart of Patterson, N. J., Mrs. J. W. Brown of Rochester, Mrs. S. J. Janifer of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Lizzie Evans of Louisville, KY., Mrs. M. E. Harris of Fayetteville, N. C., Mrs. A Gibbs of Louisville, Louis, Mo., M. George W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C. and Mrs. Lella Walters wife of Bishop Walters and one of the most prominent women in the connection. FEATURES OF THE CONFERENCE One of the most interesting features of the Conference, and one that afforded a rare treat for the delegates was the attending of the annual commencement of Livingstone College by the entire delegation. The Conference took the day off and attended the commencement exercises of the college. The presence of the large delegation at the Commencement made the day a notable one at Livingstone, for the graduates, students and faculty of the college. It was an opportunity to the Zionites to see just what the connectional school was doing for the education of the race. The graduates were inspired by the delegates presence and the splendid department of the young men and women who graduated was pleasing to the delegates. President Coler provided every comfort for the delegates. Every department of the school was visited and found to be in perfect order. and taught in attendance at the Commencement address addresses before the students. HISTORY OF THE GENERAL CON FERENCE MOVEMENT The first General Conference of the Zion church was held in Philadelphia at the Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, May 16, 1822. The first president of the conference was Abraham Thompson. After a short session the conference adjourned to continue its session in Mother Zion Church in New York July 18th of the same year. Among those who figured in the first General Conference were Christopher Rush, James Smith, Jams Anderson, William Coleman, Edward Johnson and Tilman Cornish who were elected deacons in the forenoon and elders in the afternoon. James Varick was elected the first Bishop of the congregation Abraham Thomas was elected reappointed to Moth or Zion. Sabbath after Newark N. J., Levin Smith to Boston, James Anderson to New Haven and Edward Johnson to Wesley Church to Philadelphia. These brief facts in the main constitute the proceedings of the first General Conference of the Zion connection. Just how the connection has grown may be seen in contrasting the expanse of the connection from the Fourth General Conference which met at Mother Zion Church May 14th, 1836. There were 3$ preachers the number of members returned 3425, Hishops money $75 and Conference money $50. There was the Fourth Quadrennial session the Connection was had an unrestricted growth. One of the most notable General Conferences of the connection and where some very important transactions were made at the 32nd session of the General Conference which met in the Wainley A. M. E. Zion Church in Philadelphia in May 1908. At this session R. A. Morrissy was elected missionary sec., F. K. Bird, manager of the Publishing house, J. C. Daney editor of the Quarterly Review, B. G. Atkins elected secretary of education, W. H. Goler president of Livingstone college. At this session Bishop Walters was placed in charge of the African work. The following editorial from the Evening Chronicle one of the leading dallies of Charlotte in commendation of the personnel and hearing of the Bishops and delegates to the conference will serve to show the impression the conference made while in session in Charlotte. THE EDITORIAL "The three weeks conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church which closed last Tuesday night at Charlotte the most representative gathering of colored citizens that perhaps was ever in this city at one time. Men from Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York Pennsylvania, Alabama, Texas Tennessee and from nearly every state east of the Mississippi have been here engaged from day to day engaged in the most important work of the church—a church that represents a membership of over half million of the best colored people in the country and in the South upright and lawabiding men and women who are an honor to their race. The dignity and Conservation with which the venerable blahops of the church have presided from day to day in regular rotation kept the conference deliberations on a high plane and during the three weeks of the conference many sentiments of pinnions and views have been expressed relative to the future welfare of the race that would be heartily seconded by every conservative white citizen perhaps in the country. The conference was one of harmony and peace, representing the great spirit of the church which it represented and the highest official body of that church. When the General conference closed its session there passed into history one of the greatest sections of the conference. BISHOP WALTERS BACK Bishop Alexander Walter one of the leading Negro churches in the Zion connection and of the country's back in the Metropolis after attending the General Conference of his church in Charlotte. The Bishop was enthusiastic over the general season of the church and was loud in his praise of the work done at the conference. At other occasions Bishop Walters came in for a large share of attention at the conference and was one of the most prominent delegates to the conference. The Bishop is getting ready for his annual conferences which are the Philadelphia and Baltimore conferences and the New England conference.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follicles of youth, that has owed so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quietly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription, comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop dragging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, EPOTTOUCH ING Remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop like this: DR. E. O'BORNIG like LUCK Building, Detroit Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Cónan General Crum's Letter, May 1, 1911.

I have been trying to locate John Richmond brother of William Richmond, a colored American who died here about three weeks after his arrival of malignant malaria, called the black water fever out here. William Richmond registered in this office as an American citizen, giving as his nearest *Kin*. John Richmond, whose post office address is *America* was given at Pembroke Store Postoffice, Campbell county, Va. I addressed a dispatch to the State Department, reporting the death of William Richmond, requesting that they assist me in locating the brother of the deceased. The department acknowledged the receipt of the dispatch. I wrote John Richmond, sending the letter to the above address. The letter was returned marked uncalled for. The property of the deceased, con- slating of traveling bag, clothing, money and many book are in my possession. I am anxious that his effects reach his brother, or if he be dead, satisfactory proof of the name must be furnished in order that I can proceed in settling the estate. I know no one better qualified than yourself to whom I can turn for assistance. Will you help me and the help of William Richmond?****** I take this opportunity to con- gratulate you upon the splendid knowing of the Mechanics' Bank in his endeavour in the field of nance. If industry hones ende- or, perseverance, determination and intelligent management are essentials of success (and they are) then your future and the success of the great financial institution of which you are the honored head in assured. Many Americans, white and col- ored, come out here and lead care- less lives, disregarding advice as to the care of their health, and quickly pay the penalty in an early grave. Agents Wanted.

Sutton E. Griggs, the famous orator and author has brought to light an array of facts and has unfolded a line of reasoning that is quietly transforming the thought life of the whites of the South on the race question. Dr. J. G. Merrill, ex-President of Fisk University says: "I have heard so much of Wisdom's Call that I wish a copy of it. Send it to me." Bishop L. B. Scott of the M. E. Church, says: "I believe it will change conditions in the South if it is read by any considerable number of the leaders of that section." Hon. North W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most widely known white lawyers, says: "It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, choice rhetoric and Christian Ideas. Her, Griggs is manifestly a great thinker, a GENIUS and a statesman." The Chief of Police of Bartow, Fla. says: "That book has changed my views on the race question. I see that we white people have got to change our treatment of the Nervous." You do yourself and the cause of humanity an injustice when you neglect or delay to good for Winston's call.
