PLANET VOLUME XXIX. NUMBER 34. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY. JULY 20. 1912. PRICE. FIVE CENTS. (Continued from last week.) The discussion of conditions in the Supreme Lodge.

Y., July 14, 1912 To the Editor of The Richmond PLANET: Referring to an editorial in this week's issue of The PLANET, "Shall Colored Men Support Wilson," may I ask you for further explanation? Our people are not, as a rule, much of a historian. Some do not read at all. Now for the benefit of those who do not read and for those who read, but do not understand, why can't you write Mr. Wilson's past record in dealing with colored people? You must have such information near you and it would do a world of good to our people in making up their minds how to vote. The white press gives the history of any prospective candidate for President and the race papers give the history of him as applied to their race. ITALIANS AGAINST HUM The Italians are reported to be saying that they cannot support Mr. Wilson for the reason that he referred to them in his books (history) which he wrote, as being an inferior people. It has been also reported that no student of color was allowed to enter Princeton College during his incumbency as President and some of those who participated in athletics from other colleges were insulted on the ground. If these things are true, of what use would it be to go arguing the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution to him. Prejudice is blind, but is very, sensitive, to feeling and you as a leader could do no greater service than to tell us if Mr. Wilson's past record has been favorable to us. ON THE OTHER SIDE. I am a Republican and have always voted a Republican ticket, but I am moved to write this when I see that you are apparently shirking a plain duty—give Mr. Wilson's past record then ask the question, "Shall Colored Men Support Wilson!" Yours truly W. J. SMITH. Mr. O. M. Goude Pamen Away. We note with regret the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Oakley M. Goude who was severely injured in an automobile collision about four weeks ago which afterwards proved fatal. We haven't as yet received all details of the accident, though he departed this life Sunday, July 14, 1912 10:15. The death of Mr. Goude, removes from our midst one of the most be loved and familiar characters in the printing trade. For many years he was foreman of the leading journals in the Tidewater section, including the Norfolk Daily Recorder, the Newport News Daily Recorder and the Star. The enviable record made by him as an efficient printer will stand out as a memorial in the minds of his many friends and co-workers. To our knowledge Mr. Goude leaves behind a wife, sister and son and many friends to mourn their loss. Mrs. Emma P. Bray Passes Away. Mrs. Emma P. Bray departed this life Monday, July 15th, 9:30 A.M. at her residence on North Buchanan Street, after a long illness. She was about 50 years old and for a long number of years she had been connected with the church. Her funeral took place from the First Liberty Baptist Church, New Kent Co. Va. Wednesday, July 17th. Rev. A. H. Kimball officiated. Mrs. Bray was the wife of Idert home Bray of Bucupon Co.; No. 1. K. of P. She leaves one brother and a host of relatives and friends to move to nearby land. FARMVILLE (VA.) NEWS. Farmville, Va., July 15, 1912. The census of our town taken some time ago showing the attendance and non-attendance to church and sunday school is having, to some extent a desired effect. Notwithstanding the weather was very hot on Sunday we could see an increase in attendances. In the whole town there were only two persons, one white and one colored refused to tell whether they attended any church. We are unable to tell just their reasons, but in surmising we would say it may be that their lives are adverse to the teaching of the Scriptures. It is true when men publicly renounce the evil way of living and are thereafter found continually going in this way they become ashamed of their professional publication, practice cowardice and wont acknowledge to the true condition of affairs. This is self evidence that the man knows he is wrong. In Cumberland Co. near here, occurred several months ago a difficulty between two young women. It is much to be regretted. It seems that a young man had been paying attention to both of these. Finally one outwitted the other and married the man. It is currently reported that the married young woman sent to her opponent a valentine with some obscene language written thereon. It is claimed that the other woman replied on the same valentine to this language but did not sign her name and returned it. It is said that this married young woman erased all she had written, left what the single woman had said and signed the single young woman's name to the writing and turned the valentine over to the United States' omnials. This young woman was arrested, taken to Lynchburg, Va, and placed REV. A. BEN A. FORDS REV. A. HOBBS. The fifth Sunday night closed a very successful anniversary and rally with the people of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. Their advancement under their pastor Rev. A. Hobbs for these four years has been wonderful. Both the pastor and people deserve great credit for the work done in so short a time. Many souls have been saved, many restored and a spirit of love and harmony fills their ranks. The pastor's influence in the church and commun- in prison. The news spread, this young woman being the daughter of parents who are dead, but stood well in the community, the girl having borne the character of her parents brought to her sympathy from the entire community. A white gentleman went to Lynchburg, bailed the girl and sent her home. Several congregations of the several churches in the county gave an after collection. Set the rally on the second Sunday at the church of which this young woman is a member. The amount lifted was $115.00 to pay lawyer's fee. Both parties have our sympathy, most especially the one that seems to be, in the eyes of the law, the aggressor. We can see that love, malice and ignorance of the law caused this trouble. Regardless of the action of the court in this case in September, we feel a good and great lesson has been taught and hope that our young women will take warning. Mr. "Rambler" is still alive and will be on hand soon. The people are clamoring for The PLANET. Mr. Hattle Letterberry and daughter Army of Washington, D. C. are visiting Mr. and Mrs. P. W.

He is untiring in his efforts to care for the sick and distressed of his church and community. He is held in high esteem by the young men of his church, many of whom have been baptised by him and are now filling the position of deacons, ushers and teachers in the Sanday School. We predict for this young man a great future. The revival is still in progress at the M. E. Church. Service was conducted Sunday by Rev. Mrs. Brown.

News KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Many Installed—The Two Depart ments Unite—Magnificent Display. The spontaneous gathering of the officers of the subordinate lodges of the Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A. E., A. A., and A. and of the subordinate courts of the Order of Calan-the at the First Baptist Church last Tuesday night was a source of gratification to Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. and the officers associated with him. The Installation exercises were set for 9 o'clock and that of the female department, an hour and a half earlier, but all was conducted all once. The Grand Chancellor presided, assisted by District Deputy Grand Chancellor Robert Gray, and District Deputy Grand Worthy Counsellor Annn Taylor. FINE DECORATION. The rostrum was magnificently decorated by the committee. Besides the colors of the Order, the palm added to the beauty of the scenery. A large portrait of Grand Chancellor Mitchell resting on an case] was a silent testimony of appreciation of the presiding genius in Virginia. Grand Master at Arms W. Henry Jones had charge of the arrangements during the installation exercises. Rev. J. H. Binford delivered an impressive prayer after the singing of the anthem. "God Bless Our Knightly Band." Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Thomas M. Crumped in singing other hymns. THE GRAND CHANCELLOR SPEAKS. The address of Grand Chancellor Mitchell was interesting. He told of the experiences in Lynchburg, Va., described the parade, the scene at the Auditorium and the banquet. The large audience which filled the spacious church and those in the galleries gave evidence of their appreciation. At the conclusion of the address, the Installation of officers of both the male and female departments took place. It was an inspiring and impressive scene. Over six hundred officers were installed in both departments. The membership of the Order in the State is now ten thousand. The officers present were enthusiastic and outspoken in commendation of the admirable way in which the exercises were handled. The First Baptist Church never appeared to better advantage. A letter was received from Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., the pastor expressing his regret at his inability to be present as he was attending a meeting in Massachusetts. Major D. B. Cornish, Capt. Madison Lowry, Sergt. Joseph Evans of Petersburg, Va. were present. THE BENEDICTION. The benediction was announced after a vote of thanks had been extended to the Church, Col. Crump, Rev. J. H.

Shank, 83 years old, a wealthy merchant of Swisvale and Mrs. Anna Dale, 68, of the same town decided to be married. When the couple went to Walter Niven, license clerk, and stated their mission today, the clerk, thinking he had misunderstood them, asked: "Who is the license for, please?" The aged man, his face all aglow, replied: "For me and my sweetheart here." At his place of business after the ceremony, Mr. Shank said: "I don't know whether you would call it a romance, but so far as we are concerned it was love at first sight." BISHOP WALTERS READY TO SUPPORT WILSON. Bishop Alexander Walters the noted race champion arrived at his Episcopal residence last Tuesday direct from Baltimore where he has been attending the National Democratic convention. The Bishop was one of the most prominent personages at the conference, and figured largely in the proceedings.

The bishop has conferences with some of the leading delegates at the convention and was given respectful consideration from the great Democratic leaders.

Chicago, July 10.—With his famous "golden smile" at its broadest Champion Jack Johnson stopped from a train at the Polk street station Saturday and was greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd of admirers, mostly of his own color. His return trip from Las Vegas has been one long joy ride and the champion was in great humor. The champion entered a flat denial to stories of his intended retirement after Labor Day. He would not leave the game, he intimated, so long as the picking was as soft as at present.

Red Butte Western, the most hopelessly demoralized railroad west of the Rockies, a road that is a joke and a tragedy; as desperate a lot of lawsuits, as ever ran trains or ditched them; a railroad superintendent who says he is a coward and then tackles one of the toughest tasks a railroad man ever had to solve; a fond lover and a beautiful girl; wrecks, thefts, gun plays, and highwaymen all these stand out vividly in one of the most thrilling stories of railroad life ever written, a story of the Red desert, where chaos takes the place of order and where the large calibrated revolver is the law. CHAPTER I THE windows of the division headquarters of the Pacific Southwestern at Copahook northward over bald, brown means and across the Pannikin to the eroded cliffs of the Uintah hills. The prospect, lacking vegetation, artistry atmosphere and color, is crude and rather harshly aggressive, and to Lid gerwood, gloming thoughtfully out upon it through the weather worn panes scratched and bestimmed by many desert sandstorms, it was particularly depressing. "No, Ford; I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not the man you are looking for," he said, turning back to things present and in suspense and speaking as one who would add a reason to my qualified refusal. "I've been looking over the ground while you were coming on from New York. It isn't in me to drag the Red Belt Western into a well behaved division of the P. S. W." The graveled man who had been rowed Superintendent Lockhard's pivot chair mobilized intelligence. "That is what you have been saving with vacations, for the last half hour. Why?" "Because the job asks for gifts that I don't possess. At the present moment the Red Badge Western is the most hopelessly demoralized 200 mile of railroad west of the Rockies. There is no system to describe the route for authors. The raw rails the road if it were a railroad. Add to the conditions the fact that the Red Badge is a country where the large civil and revolver is." "Yes, I know all that. I interpreted the man in the back. The road and the region need to be good if badly. That is one of the reasons why I am ready to work. When I hold You are ready to work. Howard." "Not on the road with the man in the back. I am ready to work. When I hold You are ready to work. Howard." To the extent of no need I drew out his personal�ுப to me here, and you of the assortment to the life you gathered from a completely being and next to him and his method of money to the end of the time of the last time of the process made for the part of this time of the period out of the close to the end of his life. A place for me would have classified this as a part of students' habit with the leisurely knowledge in life, and more adeno's hedfrossed the turf. In his occupation moments, which were rare, he was given to rolling against the fate which had made him a round boy in a square hole, a tech nite engineer and a man of action when his curiosity tasted and thundered had drawn him in other directions. But the temperamental qualities the phobias, the cautious, the thornginess which finding no outlet in an artistic calling, had made him a master in his unchosen profession were well known to Mr. Stuart Ford, first vice president of the Pacific Southwestern system. And it was largely for the sake of these qualities that Ford locked his hands over one knee and spoke as a man and a comrade. me tell you, Howard, you're not idea what a savage fight we've had in New York absorbing those same moralized 260 miles. You know why we were obliged to have them. If the Transcontinental had beaten us it meant that our competitor would build over here from Jack's Canyon, divide the Copah business with us and have a line 300 miles nearer to the Nyack gold fields than ours. "President Browner has a copper property somewhere in the vicinity of Angels, and he knows the road. He contended that we were buying two strokes of rust and a right of way in the Red desert. More than that, he asserted that the executive officer didn't live who could bring order out of the chaos into which bad management and a peculiarly tough environment had plunged the Red Butte Western. That's where I had him beaten. Howard. All through the hot fight I kept saying over and over to myself that I knew the man." "But you don't know him, Stuart, that is the weak link in the chain. If it were merely a matter of technical stress I suppose I might go over to Angels and do what you want done with the 500 miles of demoralization. But the Red Butte proposition asks for more, for something that I can't give it. Stuart, there is a yellow streak in me that you seem never to have discovered. I am a coward." The ghost of an incredulous smile wrinkled about the tired eyes of the big man in the pivot chair. "You forget that I have known you pretty much all your life. Howard. Let me recall one of the boyhood pictures that have never faded. It was DARKIE Just after school one hot day in the Illinois September. Our crowd had gone down to the pond back of the school house, and two of us were paddling around on a raft made of sawmill slabs, one of the two—who always had more dreadful dirt than sense under his skull that he was silly enough to rock the boat" and it went to pieces. You could swam. Howard, but if you hadn't forgotten that trivial handshake and waited in to pull poor Milly Minns onshore, I should have been a murderer." Likkerwood sleek his head. "You think you have made your own but you haven't. What you say is true enough. I wasn't afraid of drawing didn't think much about it either way. I guess. But what I say is true enough. There are many kinds of courage and I quite as many kinds of cowardice. I am a coward of men." "Okay, you're not, you only think you are." protected the one who thought be the ones. But Lidgerville would not be that stalemate. "I know I am. Hear me there, and then please for yourself. We are going to be here I have never met any thing before, but it is your duty to hear it. God Sturt, you don't know what kind of deprivation the deprivation has to be of yourself, but so much of having your own money means you be told and you have to know it." "No, I don't know what it means, said the other man, not more than he could admit to the other man's feelings." "Of course you don't. Nobody can know I am, but please the people and I will. I have had to perform a good effort, carried out by the people. The people probably in my eyes should be here." You know to do something else during a time to do down. Yet most a thousand people must be able to read a lot of a good book and you can not be enough to bring the good books. Laborer: You know something else. "A new day is coming, please, of the disease. It needs to be the life of a detemir in to block never read a lot of the life of a man in a little place." The volume of a sphere is given by the formula \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \). If the radius \(r\) is doubled, the new volume \(V''\) can be calculated as follows: \[ V' = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2r)^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi 8r^3 = 8 \left( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \right) = 8V \] Therefore, the volume increases by a factor of 8. So, if you're looking for a new life in a man's life when he had always lived a life from highland, who was to just now reading a totally unsupportive story. How do you know you would back up when the real pinch comes? He demanded "Because the pitch came once, and I didn't back up. It was over a year ago, and to this good day I can't think calmly about it. You will understand when I say that it cost me the love of the one woman in the world." The vice president did understand. Relying a married lower himself, he could measure the depth of the abyss into which Juddwood was looking. His voice was as sympathetic as a woman when he said, "The abject need ease your mind to me about. If you can, Howard. It's barely possible that you are not the best judge of your own set." "It was in the Montana mountains said Lilgardwood. "I was going to do a bit of expert engineering for her father. Incidentally I was察看 her and her mother from the railroad terminus to the summer camp in the hills, where they were to join a coaching party of their friends for the Yellowstone tour. We had to drive forty miles in a stage, and there were six of us, the two women and four men. On the way the talk turned to stage robberies and holdups. With the chance of the real thing as remote as a visit from Mars, I could be an ass and a braggart. One of the men, a salesman for a powder company, gave me the rope wherewith to hang myself. He argued for nonresistance, and I remember that I grew sarcastic over the spectacle afforded by a grown man, armed and in possession of his five senses, permitting himself to be robbed without attempting to resist. You can guess what followed." "I'd rather hear you tell it," said the listener at Superintendent Leckhard's desk. "Go on." "Three miles beyond the supper station we had our holdup, a couple of Winchester poking through the scrub pines to represent the gang in hiding and one lore, orripped desperado to come down to the footlights in the speaking part. You get the picture." "Yes. I've seen the original." "Before anybody realised what was Copyright, 1910. By Charles Scribner's Son happening the cripple had us lined up in a row beside the stage, and I was reaching for the starp quite as anxiously as the little salesman, who was sweating that the twenty dollar bill in his right hand pocket was his entire fortune." "Naturally," Ford commented, "You needsn't rawhide yourself for that You've been west often enough and long enough at a time to know the rules of the game—not to be frivolous when the other fellow has the drop on you." "Walt," said Lidgerwood. "One minute later the craped had sized up for what we were. The other three men were not armed. I was, and Miss Elie the young woman knew it. Also the cripple knew it. He tapped the gun bunging in my pocket and said, in good natural contempt, 'Watch out that thing don't go off and hurt you some time when you ain't lookin', stranger'! Fired, I think I must have been hypnotized. I stood there like a frozen image and let that crippled cow rather rob those two women - take the rings from their fingers." "Oh, hold on, there's another side to all that, and you know it," the vice president began, but Lidgerwood would not listen. "No," he protested. "don't try to find excuses for me. There were none. The fellow gave me every chance, turned his back on me as an absolutely negligible factor while he was going through the others. To save my soul from everlasting tements I couldn't go through the simple motions of piling the plot from my pocket and dropping that fellow in his tracks, couldn't and didn't." "Why, of course you couldn't after it had got that far along," asserted Ford. "I think if any one could 'That little thing about the gun in your pocket did you up'." "But the fact remained," said Loggerwood, sitting himself not at all. I was weighted and found wanting, that is the only way worth considering. "Well," answered Ford when the self condemned it turned again to the desk desk and window, "what came of it?" "That which was due to some I was told many times and in many different ways what the one woman thought of me. For the few days during which I was delayed for another wait GARKER ed at her father's mine for the coming of the Yellowstone party she used me for a dormant, as I deserved. That was a year ago last spring. I haven't seen her since, haven't tried to." "Howard," said the vice president, "you haven't exaggerated the conditions on the Red Ribbon line an atom. As you say, the operating force is as good a lot of bits as overwrites any ran trails or ditched them. They all know that the road has been bought and sold and that pretty sweeping changes are impending. They are looking for trouble and are quite ready to help make it. If you could discharge them in a body you couldn't replace them, the Red desert having nothing to offer as a dwelling place for civilized men, and this they know. Howard, I'm tell ing you right now that it will require a higher brand of courage to go over to Angels and manhandle the Red Butto Western as a division of the P. R. W. than it would to face a dozen highwomen if every individual one of the dozen had the drag on you." Lidgerwood left his chair and began to pace the narrow limits of the private office, fire steps and a turn. "You mean that you are still giving me the chance to make good over younder in the Red desert—after what I have told you?" "I do, only I'll make it more binding. It was optional with you before; it's a sheer necessity now. You've got to go." In the end Lidgerwood yielded, as the vice president's subjects commonly did. "I'll go if you still insist upon it," was the slowly spoken decision. "There will doubtless be plenty of trouble, and I shall probably show the yellow streak-for the last time, perhaps. It's the kind of an outfit to kill a coward-for the pure pleasure of it, if I'm not mistaken." A busy hour had elapsed when the vire president concluded his outline sketch of the Red Butte Western conditions. "Of course you know that you will have a free hand. We have already cleared the deks for you. As an in- Department read the Red Letter and had the usual executive organization in miniature. Operating the line as a branch of the P. & W. system, we can simplify, the organization at Angels. We have compounded the auditing and traffic departments with our Colorado, line headquarters, at Denver. This will leave you with only the operating, telegraph, train service and engineering departments to handle from Angels. With one exception, your authority will be absolute: you will hire and discharge as you see fit, and there will be no appeal from your decision. "That applies to my own departments—the operating, telegraph, train service and engineering. But how about the motive power?" asked the new incumbent. "There lies the exception, and I wish it didn't. Griddley, the master mechanic, will be nominally under your orders, of course, but if it should come to blows between you you couldn't fire him. In the regular routine he will report to the Colorado lines superintendent of motive power at Denver. But in a quarrel with you he could make an still longer arm and righthand the P. S. W. board of directors in New York." "How is that?" inquired Lidgerwood. "It's a family affair. He is a widower, and his wife was a sister of the Van Kensington. He got his job through the family influence, and he held it to the same way. But you are not likely to have any trouble with him. He is a brute in his own peculiar fashion, but when it comes to handling shopmen and keeping the engines in service he can't be beat." "That is all I shall ask of him," said the new superintendent. "Anything else?" looking at his watch. "Yes, one other thing." Rankin Hall lock, the man you will find holding down the headquarters office at Angels, was Cumberley's chief clerk, and long before Cumberley resigned he was the real superintendent of the Red Rute Western in everything but the title and the place on the payroll. Naturally he thought he ought to be considered when we climbed into the saddle, and he had already written to President Brewster asking for the promotion in fact. He happens to be a New Yorker, like Cumberley, and again like Goulden, he has a friend at court I had to take him down. I am telling you this so you'll be easy with blimps easy as you can. I don't know him personally, but if you can keep him on. " It shall be only to glad to keep it. If he knows his big note and, with story," was Lodgedness only. Then with another glove of the watch " Shall we no it been not yet dinner. Afterno, you can give two your no. On in the once event the future on Dension of the need across the second Timonyon and Elmden on the set. Be over with in the end and go to no Place. A new case due to time to make I shall see time to find up enough to set a less states for an better follow to drive. Let's go!" At the end of the next engine of Williams's owner and Hitcher's son, who called on on the 125 Bats Western, would the one begin to point to a point of different with the new set regents of the time can ending in a new life. When he read the new super note, "I have Wiltness nose in his face," he felt too far to be his business, and with a change of was more example to them many and and "Gill and Giff!" CHAPTER H --- In the beginning the Red Desert immediately made itself known to the world. The name of Tentacula is Red Storm was shamed red while it remained host, and the threat of the gold hunters, soon to separate to the player ground, the big game between two. Then you had made a hundred mile distance to avoid. Later the discoveries of rich peat deposits in the Red Butte district the intermortuary hill comes temporarily to the high plane of a tenmona field. Why the red road builders, with encap for a starting point and Red Butte for a terminus, had elected to print their headquarters camp in the west en edge of the desert, no later con- could ever determine. Last also the identity of the camp's sponsor who, visioning the things that were to be borrowed from the California pioneers and named the halting place on the desert's edge "Angels." The town had followed the shops as a sheer necessity. First and always the railroad incurs. Angels became return and in addition the forwarding station for a copper mining district in the Tianyuan foiloths, and a little later, when a few adventurous cattlemen had discovered that the sun curved berthage of the desert borders was nutritious and fattening, a stock shipping point. A few of the railroad men transplanted their families, but apart from these Angels was a man's town, with Seminal appetites and with only the course fare of the frontier fighting line to satisfy them. Further along the desert came more definitely to its own. The rich Red Butte "pocket" began to show signs of exhaustion, and the gulch and ore mining afforded but a precarious alternative to the thousands who had gone in on the crest of the bonanza wave. Almost as tumultuously as it had swept into the bill country, the title of population swept out. For the gulch harbels between the Timmyonys there was still an industrial reason for being, but the railroad languished, and Angels became the well to catch and retain many of the leaves, the driftwood stranded in the slack water of the outgoing tide. With the railroad, the Copperette mine and the "X-bar-Z" pry days to bring regularly recurring moments of finniness and with every alternate door in Meaona avenue the entrance to a bar, a dance hall, a gambling den or the three in combination, the elemental appetites grew. It was durin' this period of dry rot that the eastern owners of the full- Staff had heart. Since the year of 1849 Bad Butte harbor there had been dividends. At the moment of the meridian railroad's purchase by the Pacific Northwestern the desert was approaching more and more upon the town planted in its western border. In the height of Angels' prosperity there had been electric lights and a one car street tramway, a bank and a building and loan association attaching its presence in rows of ornate cottages on the second meas, alluring half thrown out to catch the potential savings of the railroad colonists. But now only the railroad plant was electric lighted; the single ramackie street car had been turned into a chilecone-car stand; the bank, unable to compete with the faro games and the roulette wheels, had gone into liquidation; the building and loan directors had long since looted the treasury and sought fresh fields, and the cottages were chiefly empty shells. Of the chiefters members of the building and loan association only two remained as residents of Angels the decadent. One of these was Gridley, the master mechanic, and the other was Hallock, chief clerk for a diminishing series of imported superintendents and now for the third time the disappointed applicant for the head ship of the Ilted Britte Western. Associated for some brief time in the real estate venture and hailing from the same far away eastern state and city, these two had been at first yoke follows and afterward, as if by tacit consent, insert enemies. As widely separated as the poles to characteristics, habits and in their outlook upon life, they had little in common and many antipathies. Gridley was a large man, virile of face and figure, and be marched in the ranks of the full fed and the self-indulgent. Hallock was big booned and endangered of face, but otherwise a fair physical match for the master mechanic, a dark man with gloomy eyes and a permanent frown. Joelian good nature went with the master mechanic's gray eyes twinkling easily to a genial smile, but it stopped rather abruptly at the straight lined, sensual mouth and found a second negation in the brutal jaw, which was only thinly masked by the nearly trimmed board. Hallock's smile was bitter, and if he had a social sale one in Angels had ever discovered it. It was in an upper room of the Crow's Nest headquarters building that these two, the master mashame and the netting superintendent, met late in the evening of the day when Vice President Ford had kept his appointment in Cobah with Edgerton. Grishley, and like a gentleman good titting comfortably in his chair as he smoked a cigar that neither love nor money could have bought in Angles was jeopardized suspiciously. Hallock sher sleeved untidy and with the perius hent frown deposing the forrow between his eyes, neither titted nor smoked. A listener, knowing neither, would have remarked the curious similarity of the grating note in both voices. "Who President Ford is in Coghill, and the new superintendent is with him," said Grishley. Hallock leaned forward in his chair. "Who is the new man?" he asked. "Notably seems to know him by name. But he is a friend of Ford's all right. That is how he goes the job." "A college man, I suppose," commented Hallock, "otherwise Ford wouldn't be booking him." "Oh, yes, I guess it's said to count on that." "And a man who will carry out the Ford policy?" Gradley's eyes smiled, but "down on the face the smile becomes a central baring of the strong teeth." "A man who may try to carry on the Ford Ideal" be qualified adding, "The desert will get hold of him and not let alas, as it has笼然 the others." "Maybe" and Hollaback thoughtfully Then, with sudden heart's pitter, Gradley. I've bung on and swathed and done the work for their fathers. BASKER "I AM NOT GOING TO COME TO BLOWS WITH YOU." heads, one after another. The job belongs to me! This time Gridley's smile was a thinly relied sneer. "What makes you so keen for it. Hallock?" he asked. "You have no use for the money and still loss for the title." "How do you know I don't want the salary?" enapped the other. "Because I don't have my clothes made in New York or blow myself across the tables in Mea'venue does it go without saying that I have no use for money?" "But you haven't; you know you haven't," was the tainting rejoinder. "And the title, when you have and have always had the real authority, means still less to you." "Authority?" scoffed the chief clerk, his gloomy eye lighting up with slow fire. "This maverick railroad doesn't know the meaning of the word. If I fell the leash in my hands for a few minutes I'd show 'em" "Oh. I guess not," said the clean smoker easily. "You're not built right for it. Halleck: the desert would give you the horse length." "Would it? Not before I had squirmed off a few old debts. Gridley. Don't you forget that." "Threatening, are you?" jeered the full fed one, still good naturally sarcastic. "What would you do if you had the chance. Rankin?" "I'd kill out some of the waste and recklessness if it took the last man off the payrolls, and I break even with at least one man over in the Timanypan if I had to use the whole Red Butte Western to pry him loose?" "Flemistier again!" queried the master mechanic. And then, in mild depreciation: "You are a bad toer, Hallow. But I suppose that is one of your limitations." A silence settled down upon the upper room, but Gridley made no move to go. The corridor door opened, and the night dispatcher's off trick man cane in with a message for Hallock. "Engine 206, Williams engineer and Blackmar fireman, with service car caught-one. Bradford conductor, will leave Copah at 12:01 a.m. and run special to Angels. By order of Howard Lidgerwood, general superintendent." Gridley's pilot chair righted itself with a snap. But he waited until the off trick man was gone before he said: "Lidgerwood: Well, by all the gods!" Then, with a laugh that was more than half a snarl: "There is a chance for you yet. Rankin." "Whr. do you know him?" "No, but I know something about him. I've got a line on New York, the same as you have, and I get a hint now and then. I knew that Lidgerwood, had been considered for the place, but I was given to understand that he would refuse the job if it were offered to him." "Why should he refuse?" demanded Hallock. "That is where my wire taper fell down. He couldn't tell." "Then why do you say there is still a chance for me?" "Oh, on general principles, I guess. If it was an even break that he would refuse it is still more likely that he won't stay after he has seen what he is up against, don't you think?" "What hell need in the Red desert will be nerve and a good gun. If he has the nerve he can buy the gun." said Halock. "But having the gun, he couldn't always be sure of hoping the nerve, eh? I guess you are right. Rankin Of course you will stay on with the new man—if he wants you to?" "I don't know. This is my business and none of yours." It was a bid for the renewal of the quarrel which was more more than half tailed between these two. But Gridley did not lift the challenge. "Let it go at that," he said placably. "But if you should decide to stay I want you to let up on Fleister." "I kill Flamister on sight if I had the sand; you know that. Gridley some day it may come to that. But it the meantime"— "In the meantime you have been annapting at his beds like a fire dog. Hallack, holding out our cars on him delaying his cool supplies, stirring up trouble with his miners. That was all right up to yesterday, but now it has got to stop." "Not for any orders that you can give," retorted the chief clerk, once more opening the door for the quarrel. "I am not going to come to blows with you. Rankin—not if I can help it." he said, with his hand on the door knack. "But what I have said will have to go as if I feel. Shoot Flamister out of jail, if you feel like it, but quit harming his business." "Why?" The single word shot put of Hallack's house lipped mouth like an explosive bullet. Gridley opened the door and turned upon the threshold. "I might borrow the word from you and say that Flemister's business and mine are none of yours. But I won't do that. I'll merely say that Flemister may need a little Red Butte. Western nursing in the Ute valley irrigation scheme he is promoting, and I want you to see that he gets it. You can't afford to fight me, Hallock, and you know it. Sleep on it a few hours and you'll see it in that way. I'm sure. Good night." CHAPTER III As a parting kindness to Lidgerwood Ford had transferred one of the cooks from his own private car to Lidgerwood's service, and the little man, Tadasu Matsuwai by name and a subject of the mikado by race and birth, came to the car door to call his new employer to the breakfast table as the service car approached Crosswater Gap. It was an attractive table, well appointed and well served, but Lidgerwood, temperamentally single eyed in all things, was diverted from his reorganization problem for the moment only. Since early dawn he had been up and out on the observation platform, nothing, this time with the eye of mastership, the physical condition of the road. To a dishearkening extent the Red Butte demoralization had involved the permanent way. Originally a good track, the roadbed and equipment had been allowed to fall into disrepair under indifferent supervision and the short handing of the section game. Kidgertwood had seen how the ballast had been suffered to sink at the rail joints, and he had read the record of careless supervision at each fresh swing of the train, since it is the section former's weakness to spot the geometrical curve by working it back, little by little, into the adjoining tangent. Reflecting upon these things, Kidgertwood's comment fell into speech over his cup of coffee and crisp breakfast hone. "About the first man we need is an engineer who won't be too exalted to get down and squint curves with the section house," he mused, and from that he in. We had little difficulty through the military and police for the right man. At the mountain station, where the little leaves the Franklin begin to plunge into the western dawn, there was a delay. Bradford, the conductor, black shirted and looking in his shirt hat and riding helmets more like a horse wrangler, than a captain of railroad trains, lounged in to explain that there was a hot box under 200's tender. Bradford was not of any fraction of discontent, but the spirit of morose insubordination, born of the late change in management, was in the air, and he spoke graffly. "Were the boxes properly overhauled before you left Copah?" demanded the new boss. Bradford did, not know, and the manner of his answer implied that he did not care. And for good measure he threw in an infatuation that round-house dope kettles were not in his line. Lidgerwood passed over the large impudence and held to the matter in hand. "How much time have we on 2017?" he asked, train 201 being the westbound passenger overtaken and left behind in the small hours of the morning by the lighter and faster special. "Thirty minutes here," growled the little brother of the cows, after which he took himself off as if he considered the incident sufficiently closed. Fifteen minutes later Lidgerwood finished his breakfast and went back to his camp chair on the observation platform of the service car. A glance over the side rail showed him his train crew still working on the heated axle bearing. Another to the rear picked up the passenger train storming around the climbing curves of the eastern approach to the summit. There was a small problem impending for the division dispatcher at Angels, and the new superintendent held aloft so see how it would be handled. It was handled rather indifferently. The passenger train was pulling over the summit switches when Bradford, snatcher into the telegraph of face as if haste were the last thing in the world to be considered, asked for his clearance card, got it and gave Williams the signal to go. Lidderwood got up and went into the car to consult the time table hanging in the office compartment. Train 291 took long time at Crosswater; hence if the train was to cross two trains of the same class moving in the same direction was to be preserved the passenger would have to be held. The assumption that the passenger train would be held around all the railroad maritime fury in the new superintendent. In Lidgwood's calendar time killing on regular trains stood next to an infringement of the rules providing for the safety of life and property. His hand was on the siggal cord when, changing to be back, he saw that the passenger train had made only the momentary time card stop at the summit station and was coming on. This turned the high crime into a more branch of discipline, common enough even on well managed rail roads when the leading train can be trusted to increase the distance interval. But again the maritime in Ladgwern protected. It was his theory that rules were made to be observed, and his experience had proved that little instruction paved the way for great ones. In the present instance, however, it was too late to interface, so he drew a chair out in line with one of the rear observation windows and sat down to mark the event. Pitching over the hilltop summit, within a minute of each other the two trains bound down the first few curving inbounds as one. Mile after mile was covered, and still the perilous situation remained unchanged. Ladderwood began to grow uneasy. On the straight line stretches the following train appeared to be rushing onward to an inevitable rear end collision with the one car special, and where the track swerved to right or left around the hills the pursuing smoke trail rose above the intervening hill shoulders near and threatening. Ladderwood left his chair and went again to consult the time table. A brief comparison of miles with minutes explained the effect without excusing the cause. Train 201's schedule from the summit snippet to the desert level was very fast, and Williams, nursing his hot box, either could not or would not increase his lead. Williams and Bradford might be deliberately trying the nerve of the new boas. The presumption did not breed fear; it bred wreath, hot and vindictive. Two sharp tugs at the signal cord brought Bradford from the engine. "Do you call this railroading?" Lidgerwood rasped, pointing backward to the menace. "Don't you know that we are on 201's time?" Bradford scowled in early antagonism. "That thinned hot box" he began, but Ildersee cut him off short. but Liddow good cut him on short. "The hot box has nothing to do with the case. You are not hired to take chances or to hold out regular trains. Go forward and tell your engineer to speed up and get out of the way." "I got my clearance at the summit, and I ain't dispatchin' trains on this jerkwater railroad," observed the conductor coolly. Then he added, with a shade less of the belligerent disinterest: "Williams can't speed up. That housin' under the tender is about ready to blaze up and set the woods afre again right now." Once more Liddow wood turned to the time card. It was twenty miles farther along to the next telegraph station, and he heaped up wrath against the day of wrath in store for a dispatcher who would recklessly turn two trains loose and out of his reach under such critical conditions for thirty hazardous mountain miles. Bradford, looking on silently, met took the new born frown for more to follow, with himself for the target, and was moving away. Liddertwood pointed to a chair with a curt "bit down" and the conductor obeyed receptively. "You pay you have your car..." ```markdown ``` card and that you are not dispatching trains," he weed on evenly, "but neither fact relieves you of your responsibility. It was your duty to make sure that the dispatcher fully understood the situation at Crosswater and to refuse to pull out ahead of the passenger without something more definite than a formal permit. Weren't you taught that? Where did you learn to run trains?" It was an opening for hard words, but the conductor let it pass. Something in the steady businesslike tone or in the shrewdly appraisive eyes turned Bradford the potential mutee into Bradford the possible partisan. "I reckon we are needing a roundup over here on this jerkwater mighty bad. Mr. Lidgerwood," he said, half humorously, "But, Lord love you, that's the old 210 chasin' us with the passenger, and she can't catch But Williams and the '09 in a month of Sundays if we didn't have that dog goned spawined leg under the tender. She sure couldn't." Lidgerwood smiled in spite of his annoyance. "But it can't railroading," he insisted, meeting his first pupil halfway and as man to man. "You might do this thing ninety-nine times"— The sentence was never finished. The special, lagging a little now in deference to the smoking hot box, was rounding one of the long hill curves to the left. Suddenly the air brakes ground sharply upon the wheels, shrill whistles from the 200 sounded the stop signal, and past the end of the slowing service car a trackman ran frantically up the line toward the following passenger, yolling and swinging his striped coat like a madman. Lidgerwood caught a fleeting glimpse of a section gang's green "slow" flinging toppled over between the rails 100 feet to the rear. He called to Bradford to jump and then ran forward to drag the Japanese cook out of his gallery. It was all over in a moment. There was time enough for Lidgerwood to rush the little Tadassu to the forward vestibule, to dig him into space and to make his own flying leap for safety before the crisis came. Happily there was no wreck, though the margin of escape was the narrowest. Williams stuck to his post in the cab of the 201, applying and releasing the brakes and running as far ahead as he dared upon the loosened timbers of the culvert, for which the section gang's slow flag was out. Carter, the engineer on the passenger train, jumped, but his fireman was of better mettle and stayed with the machine up to the moment when the shuddering mass of iron an steel thrust its pilot under the truss of Lidgerwood's car. It was an excellent opportunity for eloquence of the explosive sort, as when the dust had settled the track and trainmen were evidently expecting the well deserved tongue lashing. But in crisis like this the new superintendent was at his self contained best. Instead of sweating at the men, he gave his orders quietly and with the break certainty of one who knows his trade. The passenger train was to keep ten minutes behind its own time until the next siding was passed, making up beyond that point if its running orders permitted. The special was to proceed on 2011's time to the siding in question, at which point it would sidetrack and let the passenger precede it. Bradford was in the cab of 200 when Williams caused his engine and the service car over the unsafe culvert and inched the throttle open for D. D. MID OWN FLYING LEAP FOR SAFETY. the speeding race down the hill curves toward the wide valley plain of the Red desert. "Turn it loose, Andy," said the big engineer when the requisite number of miles of silence had been kicked off by the space devouring wheels. "What all do you think of Mr. Collars and Cuffs by this time?" Bradford took a leisurely minute to whittle a chewing cube from his pocket ping. "Well, first dash out of' the box I allowed he was some locoed. He jumped me like a jack rabbit for takin' a clearance right under Jim Carter's nose that a-way. Then we got down to business, and I was just beginnin' to get on to his gait a little when the snow flag butted in." "Oh! The in the midday part of him!" suggested Williams. "It does and it don't. If that little tailor made man don't get his finger snapped or somethin' and have to go home and get somebody to politize it things are gain' to have a spell of happenin' on this little old cow trail of a railroad. That's myaute." "Think he's got the sand, Andy'r" said Williams. "This time you've got me goin'," was the slow reply. "I ain't so blamed sure. One kind o' sand he got to a dead moral certainty. When he saw what was due to happen back youser at the culvert he told me '23, all right, but he took time to hike up ahead and yank that Jap cook out 'b' the car kitchen before he turned his own little handspring into the ditch." "That kind of sand is all right in God's country. Andy, but out here you got to know how to fight with pitchforks and such other tools as come handy. The new boss may be that kind of a scraper, but he sure don't look it." "No," agreed Bradford, ruminating thoughtfully. Williams, brawny and broad chested, leaned against his box. "He'd better have nerve or get some," he commented. "Tother ways it's him for an early wooden overcoat and a trip back home in the express car." The special was now on the sliding. Back in the service car Lidgerwood was sitting quietly in the doorway smoking his delayed after breakfast cigar and timing the upcoming passenger train, watch in hand. Carter was ten minutes, to the exact second, behind his schedule time when the train thundered past on the main track, and Lidgerwood pocketed his watch with a smile of satisfaction. It was the first small victory in the campaign for reform: 'Later, however,' when the special was once more in motion westward, the desert hold upon him with the grip which first bumms, then breeds dull rage and finally makes men mad. There were no signs of life, no cattle upon the distant hills, no loungers on the station platforms. Lidgwood had crossed this arid, lifeless plain twice within the week on his preliminary tour of inspection, but both times he had been in the Fullman, with fellow passengers to fill the nearer field of vision and to temper the awful loneliness of the waste. Now, however, the desert with its light, its stillness, its vacancy, its Athens barrenness, claimed him as its own. He wondered that he had been impatient with the men it hired. It was past noon when the shrill whistle of the locomotive signaled the approach to the division headquarters, and he was thankful that the builders of Angels had pitched their tents and driven their stakes in the desert's edge rather than in its heart. Truly. Angels was not much to be thankful for, as the exile from the east regretfully admitted when he looked out upon it from the windows of his office in the second story of the Crow's Nest. A many tracked railroad yard, sanked on one side by the repair shops, roundhouse and coal chutes and on the other by a straggling town of bare and commonplace exterior, unpainted, unfenced, treeless and windwept. Angels stood baldly for what it was—a mere stopping place in transit for the Red Butte Western. The new superintendent turned his back upon the deprepping outlook and held his hand upon the latch of the door opening into the adjoining room. There was a thing to be said about the reckless bunching of trains out of reach of the wires, and it might as well be said now as later, he determined. But at the moment of door opening he was made to realize that a tall, boxlike contrivance in one corner of the office was a desk and that it was inhabited. The man who rose up to greet him was bearded, heavy shouldered and hollow eyed, and he was past middle age. Green cardboard cones protecting his shirt sleeves and a shade of the same material visoring the sunken eyes were the only clerkly suggestions about him. "You are Mr. Hallock F." Lidgerwood made the guess without offering to shake hands, the high, boxlike deak forbidding the attempt. "Yes." The answer was neither antagonistic, nor placatory; it was merely colorless. "My name is Lidgerwood. You have heard of my appointment?" Again the colorless "Yes." "Mr. Ford spoke to me about you last night. He told me that you had been Mr. Cumberley's chief clerk and that since Cumberley's resignation you have been acting superintendent of the Red Butte Western. Do you want to stay on as my lieutenant?" For the long minute that Hallock took before replying the loose lipped month under, the shaggy machete seemed to have lost the power of speech. But when the words finally came they were shorn of all cupboardism. "I suppose I ought to put on my coat and walk out," said this most singular of all railway authorities. "By all the rules of the game this job belongs to me. You'd better give me a time check and let me go." Adgerwood walked to the window and once more stared out upon the dreary prospect, bounded by the blinder of the second mean. When he turned back to the man in the ride pit deck he could not have told why the words of regret and dismissal which he had made up his mind to say refused to come. But they did refuse, and what he said was not at all what he had intended to say. "Mr. Hallock, I appreciate your dis appointment. I know what it means to a man situated as you are. Not withstanding I want you to stay with me. I'll say more. I shall take it as a personal favor if you will stay." "You'll be sorry for it if I do," was the ungrateful rejoinder. "Not because you will do anything to make me sorry. I am sure," said the new superintendent in his evening tone. And then, as if the matter were definitely settled, "I'd like to have a word with the fraternity, Mr. Mc Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Hair Grower and Restorer, 616 R. 1st Street. Richmond, Va.

Hallock waved a hand toward the door, which Lidgerwood had been about to open a few minutes earlier. "You'll find him in there," he said briefly, adding, with his altogether remarkable disregard for the official pro-priests: "If he gives you the same chance that I did don't take him up. He is the one man in this outfit worth more than the powder it would take to blow him to the devil." TO BE CONTINUED. FREIGHT HITS EXCURSION TRAIN Eighteen Killed and Many Are Fatally Injured. VICTIMS MOSTLY CHILDREN Heavy Freight Crashed Into Rear of Passenger Train and Telescoped Several Care. Eighteen were killed and many fatally injured on the Ligonier Valley railroad when a passenger train carrying plenickers was backing into Wilpen through a misunderstanding of their orders. The accident happened at the fair grounds, about one and a half miles from Ligonier, near Latrobe, Pa. The accident was caused by a double-header freight, which crashed into the rear coach of the passenger train, telescoping several cars. But one passenger on the train escaped injury. The coaches contained a large number of children, who were being taken by Miss Matthews, a nurse at the home of George Senft, president of the Ligonier Valley railroad, for a day's outing. All the children were either killed or sustained severe injuries. The dead are: Frank McConnaughty, engineer, scaled to death under engine; Fireman George Byers, cut in two; Engineer Smith Beatty; Fireman John Akney, mangle under engine; Louise Rowdy, aged eleven; Elizabeth Rowdy, aged fourteen; Samuel Brownfield, four years old; George Toysh, aged sixy-elkht years, a wealthy farmer; Mrs. Harry Dilliqn, twenty-four years old, and her one-year-old baby; Miss Elsal, aged twenty; Miss Hoon, aged twenty, and a number of boys, aged from four to six years, unidentified. The freight engines plonged clear through the wooden coach, crushing it as it would an eggshell. The coach was ripped to pieces. All the occupants were hurled to the roadbed; some fell in the path of the engines, while others were imbedded partly in the cinder and stone ballast. The first engine of the double-header pulling the freight train-stopped after it had passed through the passenger coach, turned halfway around and fell over on its side. Conductor Charles H. Kuhn, of the passenger train, leaped and received a broken leg. Engineer Dunlap and Fireman Frank Byers, of the passenger train, stuck to their posts and were uninjured. Dunlap and Byers are the only persons known to have been on the wrecked train who escaped in injury. Farmers near the scene of the accl ident and men who were at work at the Denny race track went to the assis- tance of Engineer Dunlap and Fireman Byers, who were pulling the dying and injured from the wreckage and laying them on the bank. In a few minutes every resident of Ligonier who was able to walk was on the way to the race track. A frantic call for physi- cians and aid was rent to Latrobe. Five Latrobe physicians went to the scene in an automobile. Dropped to Death From Parachute. In full view of 20,000 persons gath- ered in Hillside park, near Belleville, N. J.

The holiday crowd at the park broke all records, and when in the middle of the afternoon Moore and his partner, William C. Gillen, of Harrison, stepped into the balloon which was to take them up, the feature of the day began. Moore stayed in the balloon until he reached a height of about 3500 feet. He was scheduled to make a triple drop. There were three parachutes on his bar, and he was to open one, sail on that some distance, cut it loose, sail with another, cut it loose, and reach the ground on the last sail. The string of parachutes was cut loose, with Moore sitting on the bar. The second parachute had opened up and he was sailing downwards nicely, when suddenly he pitched backwards from the bar and fell headlong. The spectators in the park watched silently for the moment that it took him to reach the ground and then went into a panic. The body struck the ground about half a mile from the park and within 200 feet of where Gillen had just landed safely. Hundreds of spectators rushed to the spot of the landing. Every bone in Moore's body was broken. Forty Killed in Railroad Wreck. Forty persons are dead, three so badly hurt that their deaths are expected, and more than fifty are suffering injuries, the result of a tail-end collision between the crack Buffalo limited of the Lackawanna railroad and a train of express cars in the thick fog above Gibson Narrowes, two miles from Corning, N. Y., on independence Day. Trainmen say that this loss of life was caused by the carelessness of the engineer of the express train, who ran at a terrific rate of speed past a frantically signalling flagman and the warning of a dropped somaphore arm, into the passenger train standing still upon the track with its hundred or so of sleeping passengers. The engineer, who is blamed by the authorities for the accident, jumped before the crash came. He sat on a rail; high up on a hill near the scene of the accident, watching in a dazed way the wrecking crews at work. The passenger train was heavily loaded and was drawn by two locomotives. It was running about half an hour late. The train had been standing on the track for twenty minutes when the express train, which carried no passengers, struck it in the rear at full speed. The two day coaches attached to the rear of No. 9 were hurled down an embankment and the express plunged half way through the rear Pullman of the standing train befoil it came to a stop. Report Attacks Judge Archbold. Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the house committee on pulldary, presented to the house thirteen articles of impeachment against Judge Robert W. Archbold, of the United States court of commerce. The report was unanimous. It constitutes the ninth impeachment of a judicial or civil official since the foundation of the government, and is the first since the impeachment trial of Judge Charles Swayne, of the Northern district of Florida, who was acquitted Feb. 27, 1905. "The conduct of this judge has been exceedingly reproachable and is marked contrast with the high sense of judicial ethics and probity that generally characterize the federal judiciary," the committee says in summing up against Judge Archbald. His business transactions while a judge are held to unfit him for further service on the bench. A resolution is included formally impeaching him and requiring his trial before the senate. "Your committee is of the opinion that Judge Archbold's sense of moral responsibility has become deadened," says the report. "He has prostituted his high office for personal profit. He has attempted by various transactions to commercialize his potentiality as a judge. "He has shown an overweening desire to make gainful bargains with parties having cases before him or likely to have cases before him. To accomplish this purpose he has not hesitated to use his official power and influence. He has degraded his high office and has destroyed the confidence of the public in his judicial integrity. He has forfeited the condition upon which he holds his commission, and should be removed from office by imme "A judge should be the personification of integrity, of honor and of uprightness in his daily walk and conversation. He should hold his exalted office and the administration of justice above the sould desire to accumulate wealth by trading or trafficking with actual or probable litigants in his court. He should be free and unaffected by any bias born of avarice and unharmed by pecuniary or other improper obligations." --- Firecracker Falls to Cure Hiccougha Physiologists exploded a giant firecracker, at the bedside of James McGowan at a hospital in Loganport, Ind., in the hope that the nervous shock would stop his hiccoughing, from which he had been suffering for five days, but though he was quiet he died of exhaustion. McGowan, who was forty eight years old, had been hiccoughing continuously, and electricity and other remedial agents were tried without effect, before the opening of the Fourth of July celebration suggested the firecracker as a last aid. --- Senator Bristow is in Roosevelt Camp "United States Senator Joseph L. Bristow, of Kansas, has declared for Theodore Roosevelt for president in a letter to William Allen White, Roosevelt national committeeman from Kansas. Mr. Bristow, declares that the nomination of President Taft was "fraudulent," and that "Republicans are in no way bound by it." --- Wedded Been Months; Drowns. George Schumaker, a young laborer, who was married seven months ago, was drowned below Trenton; N. J. while swimming in the Delaware river. It is believed he succumbed to cramp. The body was recovered. Three Drown In Old Well. Ludwig Kozlefak, twelve years of age, crept into a newly dug cellar in Linden, near Elizabeth, N. J., to try to rescue her younger sister, Mary, agen ten years; her brother, John, aged seven years, and another girl, Anna Petroska, aged nine, who had fallen into an unused well in the center of the cellar and which was filled with rainwater. Mary selzed Ludwig's hair, but was forced to release her hold, and the three children samb their hollows being recovered later. The children were wading in the cellar to cool themselves. All of them lived in Linden. AGENTS FOR THE PLANET. AGENTS FOR THE PLANET. RICHMOND, VA. Mra. Annie Walbarrow, 4th & Broad. W. H. White, 501 W. Leigh Street. Peter Thompson, 422 E.

SATURDAY.....JULY 20, 1912 Col. Roosevelt is having "the time of his life" and his enemies are miserable. Things may shift in Novem- bor. DEMOCRATIC DISCORD. It would seem that there is almost as much disaffection in the ranks of the Democratic Party as in the ranks of the Republican Party. How else are we to interpret the announcement of Gov. Woodrow Wilson that he will virtually run his own campaign and that this will be done through a campaign committee of nine to the usurpation of the power and authority of the members of the Democratic National Committee which has been legally designated to do the work by the National Convention which nominated him. Gov. Woodrow Wilson, the "school-master" and the theorist is now asserting himself as the master campaign manager That there is much ill-feeling beneath the surface hardly admits of a question and that he intends to "keep the saddle" and "boss the job" is known of all men. Can he accomplish in the nation what he brought to pass in New Jersey? This is the question. No one who has paid any actions and careful attention to existing conditions will doubt but what the Republican vote will shift in the direction of the candidate who seems to be making the greatest headway, whether that candidate be. William H. Taft or Theodore Roosevelt. Every one knows or should know al that Col. Roosevelt is just as much el Republican today in the Progressive Party as he was yesterday in the bl Republican Party. He has taken this means to an end. We might bl add that Col. Roosevelt is just less a bl Republican today as he was yeater day. As a matter of fact there is very pr little old time Republicanism in President Taft as there is in ex President Roosevelt. We are of the a opinion there are some surprises in store for a great many people. Gov. Woodrow Wilson has been nominated and he has a good chance to be elected, but he is not as yet even in the night of the White House. THE FLAINDEALER'S CRITICIAL Our esteemed contemporary, the Topeka, Kansas Plaindealer is evidently not a regular reader of the editorial column of The Planet, else it would not have charged that this journal "supported Roosevelt in his recent flaco to stampade the Chicago convention to nominate him for a third term." It says further: "And now after Roosevelt is honeen, shot to pieces and his skin hung up to dry The Planet takes a fling at the corpse." It then quotes from the editorial columns of The Planet. It concludes as follows: "The Planet may not appreciate Mr. Taft, but just why it could pick up Roosevelt is more than we can understand, but we are pleased to know that The Planet does not approve of a third or Rooseveltian party." Our esteemed contemporary, to the contrary notwithstanding, we have always laid claim to consistency and we never change our opinions or give up our fight for a principle because it seems to be a losing battle. The success or failure of a cause does not affect us one feather's weight. All we wish to know is that we are on the right side of truth and justice. The Planet has not supported Col. Roosevelt. It has not allied himself with his supporters. It has taken an impartial stand and discussed the situation in a calm and impartial manner. We are of the opinion that colored men are just as much justified in supporting Hon. Theodore Roosevelt as they are in supporting Hon. William Howard Taft. One dish of crow is about as acceptable as the other. President Taft lacks backbone and ex-President Roosevelt has more than his share of that important part of the human vertebrae. Colored men, who are supporting the one should have no criticism to pass upon the other. President Taft has appointed colored men to high and honorable positions and ex-President Roosevelt has done the same thing. President Taft has openly recognized the "color line" in his official relationship and he should not have done so, in fact could not have done so without violating his path of office. Col. Roosevelt did not draw the "color line" in the open and flagrant manner as practiced by President Taft, but he lessened the number of Federal appointments in the Southland without drawing it. Ex-President Roosevelt stands by his friends, when he "blood is up," whether they be North or South East or West, black or white. President Taft is an apologist, so afraid of public sentiment that he will do wrong in order to avoid its fury. Ex-President Roosevelt has the nerve to meet the issue squarely and in his respect, becomes, the "man on horseback," the public dot, the kind of a leader that enthusiastic men like to follow. A man of this character is pardoned for his faults, almost before he has craved pardon. Still, we make no secret in saying that he is the most dangerous character that this country has ever produced and is destined to prove a veritable political meteor, endangering both business and prosperity for many years to come. As between him and President Taft, there is but little to choose for the average voter, although business interests would select the latter, because of his conservatism which may in a measure atone for his lack of vital principles. To a people contending for fundamental rights denied, President Taft invites disgust and incites contempt. We do not believe that ex-President Roosevelt was given a "square deal" at Chicago. We he lieve that on a fair "show-down" he won there. Still, he hardly deserves our sympathy, although he is demanding justice, that justice which he arrogantly denied to others. He placed the machinery of this great government in operation against the 167 soldiers of the Black Battalion and we have lived to see him the victim of this same machinery. We opposed the operation of this system when it was used against our people and we oppose it no less now when it is used against him. We confess, though we do not share the opinion of the Plaindealer that Col. Roosevelt is a corpse. On the contrary, we are of the opinion that he will be the leading funeral director at some one else's funeral. Ex-President Roosevelt is a remarkable man and he has powerful financial interests backing him. It is beyond the realm of probability that he can enter the White House again upon the shoulder of his enthusiastic followers, who are boosting him, but it is evident that he will poll a heavy vote and will hardly be third in the race for the presidency. It is also evident that President Taft will not be the only sufferer as a result of his canvass. He will draw many a vote from Gov. Woodrow Wilson, due to the fact that many progressives among the Democrats prefer the Roosevelt brand to that of the Wilson brand. He will take every advantage of every mis- take Gov. Wilson makes and to our mind, with his theoretical notions, he will make many of them. One month from today, we shall be in a better position to express an opinion. Colored men have but little to choose as between the three candidates and as to the position of The Planet in this matter, it will take many more weeks to determine ns to where we shall stand politically in the premises. "SHALL COLORED MEN SUPPORT WILSON?" Mr. W. J. Smith of Brooklyn is somewhat uneasy relative to our query, "Shall colored men support Wilson?" He proceeds to ask questions and then in the same communication kindly answers them. He tells us that he has always voted the Republican ticket and from the tone of his letter, we would judge that unless we found something derogatory of Gov. Wilson other than that which he had cited the information would be entirely useless so far as he is concerned. As a matter of fact, we have no information at hand relative to Gov. Wilson, although we had heard charged all that he has set forth in his communication. Gov. Wilson as President of Prince ton University was a close friend of Grover Cleveland, and had he not changed his platform and policies, we would have presumed that he had no racial antipathy to the colored man. The purpose of our editorial was to invite a discussion of the subject and to bring out any information for or against the distinkthed Chief Executive of New Jersey. We believe that Gov. Wilson is personally favorable to the citizen of color as a servant. In writing one of his telegraphic dispatches, we noted that he had an old time colored servant waiting upon him to transmit it to the office, but what we want to know is his attitude towards the colored man as a citizen and a voter. Would he dare give official recognition to colored leaders? Would he draw the color line to the material injury and embarrassment of the "brother in black"? Would he take the position assumed by Grover Cleveland and recognize a colored Democrat upon the same basis as he would recognize a white Democrat. These are questions which demand an answer. Would he veto any legislation which would have for its purpose the political or material injury of the colored citizens of the United States? When these questions are satisfactorily answered, then we shall be in a position to resolve an answer to our query, "Shall colored men support Wilson?" Two thieves broke in the store at 309 N. 2nd Street and stole therefrom a lot of Summer clothing. They took away 10 suits of our best 50 cents per suit underwear. Not being satisfied with these they looked around and spied our cool alapaca and large coats that we sell for $1.25, $2.00 and $3.00 and they grabbed up 2 of these. They threw arrested and convicted and fined $10 each but the judge reuced the fine to $5.00 each if they would pay for the goods. They agreed to do this as the goods were so cheap for the price and kept them so cool during the hot weather that they concluded that they had a bargain. Now they advise you to go to 309 N. 2nd St. and get your Summer underwear and or large or alapaca and large coats that we sell for $1.25, $2.00 and $3.00 without being disgraced by stealing them and save the cost in police court. They would also advise every preacher in this city and county who has to preach so hard every Sunday trying to warn sinner们 to flee from the wrath to come to go there as early as possible and get one of these cool alapaca or serge coats 42 inches long that will one cost you $2.50 $3.50 $4.50. You will also find there an up-date line of collars ties and socks. They handle the best 25 cent silk sox in all colors in the market. Don't forget them when you are in need of a nice serge suit for yourself or boy. All the $15: $18 and $20 serge have been reduced to $7.50 $8.00 and $10.00. Boys suits made from worsted fabrics from $1.50 to $3.00 and $4.00 per suit. 500 pairs single men's pants from $1.25 $2.50 to $3.00. Original price $2.00, $3.00, $4.00 and $5.00 per pair. 600 pairs boys' knee pants, knicker bocker style ranging in price 26 cents to $1.50 per pair. They handle boys' knee pants in sizes from 4 to 18. They also have on hand a nice line of boys crash hats and caps from 19 cents to 39 cents. Please do not forget these people because Mr. Beck the city inspector ran them off Broad St. and caused them to move on a side street at 39 N. 2nd St. about 75 feet from Broad St. I. J. MILLER.

THEY ARE LOUDLY CHEERED National Convention Nominates Former Standards Bearers For President and Vice President. Eugene W. Chaffin, of Tuscan, Artila was nominated for president on the first ballot by the Prohibition national convention in Atlantic City, N. J. The vote was: Chaffin, 502; Emerson, 90; Houston, 18; Watkins, 94; Hendrickson, 36; Scanlon, 5; Belbourne, 1. On motion of Mr. Emerson, Mr. Chaffin's nomination was made unanimous. Aaron S. Watkins, of Ada, O., was nominated for vice president by acclamation. He was also Chaffin's running mate four years ago. Mr. Chaffin was first placed in nomination for president by William Sliley, a delegate from Arizona. Mr Chaffin was the Prohibition standard bearer four years ago. The presentation of his name was loudly applauded. Four candidates for president were placed in nomination against Mr. Chafin. They were F. W. Emerson, of California; Finley C. Hendrickson, of Maryland; Aaron S. Watkins, of Ohio, and Andrew Jackson Houston, of Texas. Eighn in turn withdrew his name after the first ballot, Mr. Houston creating enthusiasm by the statement that he would rather receive the lowest vote in the Prohibition convention than the highest in either the Democratic of Republican convention. The leading candidates against Mr. Watkins for vice president were Mr. Emerson, of California, and George L. Stockwell, of New York. 'Both of the party candidates were called to the platform and made brief speeches. Mr. Chafin said he regarded the nomination as the greatest political honor bestowed upon any man this year. He thanked the convention for his second nomination and promised not to stand for a third nomination. After the nominations the convention was formed to rush its business to a conclusion, as many of the delegates were leaving. Because of this the proposal to change the name of the party was not acted upon. A. J. Orem, of Massachusetts, in a brief speech, promised to pledge more money to the campaign fund should the name be changed. "I believe we could make the campaign fund do double duty if we should adopt a new name," said Mr. Orem. "We would be greatly aided in carrying our banner to success. If we should adopt the name "Progressive." There were many shouts of protest to this, as well as to the name "Conservation" party, suggested by Rev. S. H. Taft, of California. Michael J. Panning, of Philadelphia, led the appeal for campaign funds when the convention began. For an hour the convention was given over to the money question. The former national chairman, Charles R. Jones, announced that $31,000 had been subscribed, and that a campaign fund of at least $150,000 ought to be raised. John E. Gill, of Pennsylvania, offered to subscribe $1000, providing the national committee would agree to spend $10,000 on motion picture features during the campaign. Thirteen Dead In Railroad Wreck Thirteen persons were killed and fifteen to twenty were injured in a wreck on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad at Western Springs, a suburb of Chicago. Coming through a fog with supposedly a clear track ahead, train No. 8, a fast mall, rain at full speed into the rear of train No. 2, known as the Overland Express, from Denver, which was standing still on the track, telescoping two of the Overland's Pullman cars. Railroad officials refused to fix the blame until after the wreck had been investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A. Wilcox, who was in charge of the tower from which the block signals were controlled, said she was certain the block was thrown against both trains. She collapsed after the accident and is in a highly nervous condition. The locomotive of No. 8 plowed through the rear car and crushed out the lives of helpless passengers, many of whom still were in their berth. On into the second coach the locomotive then speed. Half way through that car it veered to the left, derailing the sleeper. The locomotive was entirely stripped when it stopped. Ghouls are believed to have robbed the dead before they reached the morgue in La Grange. More than a dozen large diamond sets are missing from jewelry, and although most of the dead appeared to have been persons in comfortable circumstances, a dime was the largest sum of money found on any of the bodies. Orders Lower Express Rates The interstate commerce commission has ordered sweeping reductions in the rates charged by express companies. It has also ordered far-reaching reforms in the regulations and practices of the companies and has also imposed upon them a uniform system of rate making. The order of the commission, while not final, is subject only to a hearing to be given the express companies on Oct. 9. The commission calls upon the companies to show cause at that time why the changes in rates and practices should not immediately go DO IT NOW RICHMOND HOSPITAL'S CAMPAIGN 406 E.

THREE THOUSAND, DOLLARS ($3,000.00) HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBSCRIBED. into effect. The decision of the commission will cause a general reduction in rates on small packages of about 20 per cent. While the average reduction is only 20 per cent, the reductions taken altogether range from 19 to 50 per cent. An important requirement of the commission is that the companies shall adopt a distinctive tag or label which will clearly show whether a package has been prepaid or not. In the event of doubt the receiver of a package will not be compelled to pay and the express companies will no longer have the benefit of thousands of dollars that have flowed into their treasuries through double charges. In short the decision of the commission revolutionizes the express business in this country. Saved by Correct-Like Armor. Benjamin Rukis, a prosperous fish dealer of East New York, with the knowledge, he says, that some of his business rivals had poisoned his horaces, forcing him to buy an automobile, took further protective measures against his enemies, it developed when a man lurking in a hallway fired three shots at Rukis as he was driving his car along Powell street. Witnesses experted to see Rukis drop dead or seriously wounded. Instead he chased his assailant into the arms of a policeman. To the wondering officer Rukis offered no oral explanation, simply pulling off his coat, which act revealed a shining armor, corset-like, beneath his outer garment. All three bullets had found their mark, but had only dented the armor, which was of thick aluminum. Rukis' alleged assailant, who said he lived in Hoboken, was held for examination. Baby Found Strangely Wounded. Two thousand foreigners at Minerva ville, Pa., are greatly excited over the treatment accorded the four-year-old baby of Felix Ludnan. The child, when left alone for about ten minutes, was inflicted with wounds which resemble bites, but if they are bites they are apparently by some strange animal. The mother found the baby unconscious in the crib, turned crosswise, with a red, bandana handkerchief soaked in water covering its face. When the mother lifted the handkerchief she found the child's face black. At the forehead the flesh was apparently chewed and a bigger wound of the same kind was found on the neck, and a still larger one, on the chest. The little one's body was also badly bruised. Woman Leaps Seven Stories to Death. Worried by her struggle to provide food for her family of eight, Mrs. Mary Ernst, forty-eight years old, left the breakfast table and went to the roof of the tenement at 814 Tenth avenue, in New York, from which she jumped to the cement pavement of the areaway, seven stories below. Death was instantaneous. Neighbors say that Mrs. Ernst had been brooding over her misfortunes for the past two weeks and had threatened to kill herself. The mother's death leaves Lena, the seventeen-year-old daughter, the only breadwinner in the family, for the father, Charles Ernst, has not worked for more than a year. Jack Johnson Under $5000 Rent Jack Johnson, the champion heavyweight prize fighter, and his wife were arraigned before United States Commissioner Buell in the federal court in Chicago upon a charge of smuggling a diamond necklace into the United States. Both were released on bonds of $500 each. The date for the trial was not set. Finda Buzzard With Bell on Neck. Andrew Schoener, of the Charming Forge farm, near Womelsdorf, Pa., while working in a field discovered several turkey buzzards hovering over the body of a calf and was attracted by the ringing of a bell. He found that one of the birds had a brass bell tilt around its neck with a yellow ribbon. Round the World in 29 Days What is said to be a new record for encircling the globe was completed by J. A.

During a terrific electric storm that swept over the Oley Valley, ten miles from Reading, Pa., James Ruppert, a farmer, aged thirty-five, was killed by lightning that struck a load of grain on the farm of Morris Hoffman, near Olear Oline. Edwin Houck, who was working with Ruppert at the time, was so badly stunned that an hour's work was required to bring him to. The four mules in the team were killed. Little rain fell, but the thunder and lightning were the most severe in many years. Taft Pardone Woman. A prisoner-mother's poem, woven about the desolation of her only child, so touched President Taft's heart that he commuted, to expire at once, the five and a half year sentence of May E. Brown. She was convicted at Salt Lake City, June 20, 1911, of violating the white slave law. The trial judge and United States district attorney endorsed the woman's appeal for clemency, the first granted in a white slave case. Lerimer Ousted From Senate.

Hubert Latham, the famous Anglo- French airman, and one of the pilo- cers of heavier than air aviation, was killed by a wild buffalo while hunting in the French Soudan. The fatality occurred on June 7. Latham's death occurred in the Chart river, near Bahr Es Salamat, practically in the center of the French Soudan and in the direction of Lake Chad. According to the governor general of French Equatorial Africa, Martial Henri Merlin, in telegraphing the news to the minister of the colonies, Latham was out with a number of natives in the forest, when he shot and wounded a buffalo. The animal immediately charged him, and before he could escape gored and trampled him to death. Latham was the first man to fly over a big city in a heavier than air machine. This feat he performed in Baltimore in October, 1910. He flew from the aviation grounds about fifteen miles outside of Baltimore, over the entire city and harbor, circling the Washington monument and performing stunts 1500 feet in the air over the business section: : TAFT'S APPOINTMENTS Carmil Thompson Will Become Charles D. Hillee's Successor. President Taft will appoint Sherman P. Allen, an assistant secretary at the White House, to be assistant secretary of the treasury, succeeding A. Platt Andrew, who recently resigned after a row with Secretary MacVeigh. Mr. Allen was formerly a newspaper man in Washington. It was said unofficially at the White House that Carmil Thompson, of Ohio, assistant secretary of the interior, will become secretary to the president, succeeding Charles D. Hillee, chairman of the Republican national committee. L. C. Layill, of Ohio, is to succeed Mr. Thompson in the interior department, and Granville W.

THE COULDN'T COME BACK CLUB WELCOME TO THE HAS BEENS RETREAT- TEDDY JETT PRES GAMBLER SLAIN IN THE STREET SEVERAL SUSPECTS ARRESTED Herman Rosenthal, Wife. Accused Polices of Graft, Is Murdered Before Charges Could Be Probed. Herman Rosenthal, proprietor of a gambling house on West Forty-fifth street, New York-city, whose sensational charges that the police were guilty of grafting and oppression were to be investigated by the grand jury, was shot down and killed in front of the Hotel Metropole, on West Forty-third street, by five men, who escaped in a large gray touring car. Rosenthal was shot four times in the head. He was murdered only a few hours before he was to appear in the home of District Attorney Whitman and give further statements in an effort to substantiate the police grafting charges. In his statement he said Becker, a police lieutenant, was a partner in his gambling house. Within three hours after the murder detectives visited a garage on Washington Square, known to the police as the headquarters of the taxcab robbers who recently robbed bank messengers of $25,000 in the financial district. There they captured a man describing himself as Louis Libpy, whom they arrested on the charge of homicide. The police also recovered an automobile which they say was the one that figured in the murder. The efforts of the police to run down the five men resulted in the arrest of three persons. The identity of only one of them, Libby, as a member of the party who did the shooting has been established to the satisfaction of the police. Libby was arraigned before the coroner and charged with the murder, but refused to make a statement. One of the other two prisoners is a man whom the police call "John Doe," because of his refusal to tell his name or give any information, although, according to the police, he was in the hotel at the time. The other prisoner was William B. Shapiro, said to be a partner of Lbby, and who was arrested at the garage where the automobile was found. Although evidence as to the motive of the shooting as thus far learned seems to show that Rosenthal had feared death at the hands of the police, the theory was brought forward that Rosenthal had really been the victim of the so-called "gambling fraternity," which took the opportunity afforded by Rosenthal's activity against the police to seek revenge for his "squealing" on them. It has been learned that knowledge that Rosenthal was to "get his" was current among frequenters of various Tendelon resorts and a subject of common discussion some time before the shooting took place. James Dougherty, the deputy police commissioner, asserted that witnesses of the murder of Rosenthal identified Libby as one of the five who drove up in front of the hotel, called the gambler from the dining room to the sidewalk, shot him down and then fed in the motor car. Mrs. Sadie Rosenthal, widow of the gambler, in a statement to the district attorney, put the assassination of her husband squarely up to the police. She said she warned her husband that if he kept the appointment with District Attorney Whitman he would come to a violent end. She said she had a premonition a tragedy would follow such a conference, and she named a police official as one of the men who was to be present. Mrs. Rosenthal was driven almost frantic when a messenger told her that her husband had been slain. "This is the police again," she explained. "It is just what I expected. I stayed up fearing that Mortman would not get back safe." Brewton in Atlanta Journal. Rosenthal, as the proprietor of a gambling house, several days ago applied for warrants for two leading members of the police department, charging oppression. He made an affidavit declaring that a lieutenant, Becker, of the police department, was a silent partner in his gambling establishment in Forty-fifth street. He declared that, after a quarrel with Becker, the police officials had caused the permanent stationing of a police officer before the gambling house, in the rear of which was his home. His efforts to have the policeman ousted were unavailing. The filing of the affidavit caused the promise of a thorough investigation of the police department by District Attorney Whitman. Heat Victim Jumps 200 Feet to Death.

Mr. McCombs, who succeeds Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, N. Y., will continue as the leader in the sight of the New Jersey executive for the presidency. His election has been expected, as it was understood that he was the general choice of the committee as well as of the nominee. Joseph E. Davies, of Madison, Wis., was elected secretary of the committee, succeeding Urey Woodson. Robert S. Hudsapeth, the New Jersey national committeeman, said before the meeting that he had a verbal message from Governor Wilson, but no letter, to outline the candidate's ideas for the conduct of his campaign. John I. Martin, of St. Louis, was re-elected sergeant-at-arms. Big Storm Hite Shenandoah. Shenandoah, Pa., was terrified on Wednesday by the severest electrical storm in that vicinity in many years. The storm was accompanied by a heavy rainfall and a wind of extraordinary velocity, which aided in causing considerable damage. One man was killed by stepping on a wire that had been blown down. The sky became black and the rain and wind quickly followed. Large trees on the main streets and in various sections of the town were caught in the blast and hurried to the ground. Several small shanties were blown down. The operation of telegraph, telephone, trottery and electric light company was prevented. Glenn, a miner, twenty-two years old, stopped on a high tension wire and was instantly killed. Many persons fainted on seeing the accident, and numbers of women were overcome by fear at the intense vivid lightning and deafening rage of thunder. Lightning struck the house of Peter Fabian, on West Coast street, and fired it, but the blaze was extinguished in a short time. The family was slightly shocked. Several pedestrians had narrow escapes when a large tree on South Main street was riven by lightning and fell to the ground. The fury of the storm was such that several collieries and wattles were compelled to augment work. Call For New Party. 300 Wc The Nations-ored Woman M Sea Coast City on Ww.

John Mitchell, Jr., Editor of Rich- mond Planet, Richmond, Va.: My Dear John' Mitchell.—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, consisting of travelling bag, clothing, money and bank book are in my possession. I am anxious that his effects reach his brother, or if he be dead, satisfactory proof of the same 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 find the heir of William Richmond?******* I take this opportunity to congratulate you upon the splendid showing of the Mechanica Bank in its achievements in the field of finance. If industry, honest endeavor, 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 is assured. Many Americans, white and colored, come out here and read careless lives, disregarding advice and the care of their health, and quickly pay the penalty in an early grave. American Consul-General Liberia, Africa Do You Know Him? Columbia, Va., March 19, 1912. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Richmond, Va. My Dear Sir, I see published in your valuable paper the letter of Consul General Crum May 1, 1911 stating the death of William Richmond any trying to locate John Richmond. I wish to say that I had a brother by the name of William Richardson, born in Cumberland, Va. and reared in Columbia, Va. He went to Richmond, Va. and lived there many years. He left Richmond, Va. on the 8th of September, 1896 and I have not heard of him since. I could not tell if he was dead or alive. He had a scar on the right cheek and he had a scar under the right eye and one on the chin. All three of the scars are visible and will last him to the grave. He was about five feet ten inches and weighed about 175 or 180 pounds when I saw him last. I also send you the piece that I clipped from the paper or The PLANET. Please find him if you can, for me.

SATURDAY.....JULY 20, 1912 Farm Dairying De Kol Creamelle, Holstein With Record of 26,280 Pounds of Milk In One Year De Kol Creamelle. Holstein With Record of 26.250 Pounds of Milk In One Year By LAURA ROSE. Demonstrator and Lecturer In Dairying at the Ontario Agricultural College. Cudphy, Canada. they do come it is equivalent to know how to meet them. The causes of cream not churning within a reasonable time are various. First: Too much cream in the churn. If it swells and nearly fills the churn, concussion practically causes. Remedy: Take out half the cream and make two churnings. It will save time, butter and patience. A person is almost a saint who can be good matured at the end of three hours' hard churning. Never fill the churn over half full. Second.—Cream too poor in fat. Where there is a large amount of skim milk in the cream, the fat globules do not have the same concussion or chance of coming in contact and massing together. Such cream requires a high churning temperature to not melt the globules, so that with the lessened force and contact they may adhere to each other. Remedy: If the temperature has been low at starting, and if after churning over half an hour there is no sign of butter, pour the greater portion of the cream out into a can or pail, and set it in a vessel of warm water, stir constantly and raise the temperature of the cream eight or ten degrees and return it to the churn. This takes but a few minutes. Never add hot water directly to the cream. It melts the fat, curdles the cream and provides a pale colored, weak bodied butter with white, specks of curd through it. Cream Poor In Fat. If this poor cream comes from pans or deep cans allow the milk to stand longer before skimming and remove the cream more carefully. If from a separator, adjust the screw to take a richer cream, and be careful no water or skimmilk runs into the cream can. Remember that cream poor in fat always means a serious loss of butter in the buttermilk. Third. Sometimes the butter breaks, but will not gather. It remains like fine hay used or rounds up like small shot. This is due to one or more of four causes—cream poor in fat, cream cold, cows getting nothing but dry food and cows milking a long time. The fat globules in strippers' milk are small and of a hard, fallow nature, making a high churning temperature necessary. Sometimes there is present in such milk a viscous substance which prevents the massing of the globules. I have known many people to lose churning after churning from this cause. To soak such cream while it is sweet (heat it to 150 degrees) and then cool helps greatly. A fresh cow coming into the herd has a marked effect in improving the churnability of the rest of the cream. The dry, condensed feed of winter produces butter fat which has a melting point several degrees higher than the fat produced from the succulent green food of summer. This accounts for the necessarily higher churning temperature in winter. A judicious selection of foods materially helps the churning. Cottonseed cake, hay and straw tend to harden butter. Limewood cake, silage and roots have the opposite effect and make churning easier. Itemedy: If there is no sign of the butter gathering after breaking, when you have churned for five minutes slowly or when on looking at the lid the granules appear to be rounding up to churn longer without doing something is useless. Add two or three quartes of water several degrees warmer than the cream. The water dilutes the buttermilk and causes a better separation of the butter. Revolve the churn a few times, let stand a little while, then draw, off about half of the buttermilk, straining it through a fine sleeve or strainer to catch any particles of butter. The liquid thus reduced and the churning continued; the butter should soon gather into the required size granules. In cases of very poor cream it may be necessary to reduce the buttermilk further. Fourth.—Churning in. a cold room will lower the temperature sufficiently to retard the coming of the butter. Remedy: Warm the cream as before described. Start with the cream warm or than usual under such conditions. Fifth.—Very rich cream will thicken or go to sleep in the churn and thin cocoa cream, or nearly so. Remedy All that is necessary is to add water or skim milk at churning temperature or a little lower to thin the cream so that it can again fall in the churn. Sixth.—The very slow revolving of the churn causes unnecessary delay in having the butter come. Remedy: Churn as fast as you can, so long as you allow time for the cream to drop. The greater the speed the greater the force exerted on the fat globules. Seventh—Occasionally cream forms badly, almost filling the churn. Such cream is usually poor, cold and has present a gas producing ferment. Remedy: Sometimes a handful or two of salt and a little water at 70 or 80 degrees settle the foam. If this does not do remove part of the cream and raise the temperature about 10 degrees. In very stubborn cases, as a last resort, I have added almost as much water at about 70 degrees as I had cream, revolved the churn a few times, let stand several minutes, then drew off most of the liquid and, after churning a short time, have succeeded in getting butter. I have known cream to run over the cream crock like yeast. A yeast germ or some other gas producing organism was at work. In such a case pasteurize the sweet cream and thoroughly disinfect everything which comes in contact with the milk or cream. When Butter Doesn't Come. Eighth. In rare cases in summer I have had churnings where butter would not come, and on examining the lid of the churn I could see minute shiny specks of oil, as if the butter fat were in a liquid form. Remedy: Adding several quarts of ice cold water has brought the butter in nice granular form. This difficulty is more likely to occur when the cows are on very soft, watery pasture. Rank green clover often makes difficult churnings for the same reason—back of "body" in the milk fat. Ninth—When the butter color has been forgotten I have heard, "Oh my, I didn't put in the butter color." The mistake can be restitched, but it means more work. Weigh the salt required for the butter and drop over it the same amount of color as should have been added to the cream. With a thin bladed knife thoroughly mix the color into the salt and sift it over the butter. Proceed with the working as usual. The butter will seem in a hopeless condition. Allow it to stand for awhile, then carefully work it until all the streaks of color disappear. I have added the butter color in this way, and the butter scored full for color. Defects In Butter. Light streams or waves are due to the presence of butternutik and an uneven distribution of the salt. Spit brightens the color, and it does C. (Affaira is well recommended by dairy experts as folder for dairy cattle) not reach the butter is poor. This defect often results when the butter is soft and the working stopped before the salt is well distributed. It is better to overwork the butter than have the color uneven. Mottles are usually caused by washing the butter with too cold water and chilling the outside surface of the granules or working it when very firm. There are portions of the butter in such cases that are not reached by the salt. Undissolved salt results from not enough moisture in the butter to dissolve it, or using very coarse salt or having it very cold and the butter firm. Greasy, poor texture comes from churning at a high temperature, washing with too warm water, overworking or working with a sliding motion. White specks are particles of hardened curd caused by having the cream too warm, too sour or not frequently and thoroughly stirred while ripening. Scrapings of dried cream or the crust of unstirred cream due to evaporation may cause white flakes in the butter. Leaky, waterlogged butter is overcharged with moisture from high temperature in churning and washing, gathering the butter into lumps in the wash water and giving it but the minimum amount of working. The maximal amount of water allowed by law is 16 per cent. Butter usually has from 12 to 15 per cent. Off flavors in butter may be traced to decayed or muddy food—wheels, turpylips, etc., overripe cream, impure water, absorption of odors from the atmosphere in the stable or cellar or kitchen, contamination by dirt, slick cows, cows long in milk or keeping butter at too high a temperature or in insanitary surroundings. Not much butter at the present time is put down for winter use. When the price gets low in summer and the milk-supply in winter is scarce it is using foresight to pack a crock or two of butter. June and September are the best months for making butter for winter use. I prefer September, when the cows are on the aftermath and the extreme heat is past. Extra care should be taken in thin liking the milk and ripening the cream ```markdown ``` XIV.—Milk and Cream Trade Byproducts. By LAURA ROSE, Demonstrator and Lecturer In Dairying at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, Canada. [Copyright, 1911, by A. C. McClurg & Co.] THERE is no more remunerative method of disposing of milk and cream from the farm than summing the retail trade. At the present time there are few businesses which if viewed in the prop or light present a serious aspect or might present such a serious aspect. Milk is almost the sole food of the infantman the first year or two of his life. He depends entirely on it during his fastest and most helpless period. A great number of babies have to depend solely on cow's milk for their nourishment. The purity of the milk has a marked influence on the health of the child. Milk index with bacteria is always more or less unwholeome and may to infants be actually and actively poisonous, giving rise to vomiting, diarrhea and gastrointestinal disturbances. I would not unduly alarm, but to read articles of the mortality of infants and to see the great number of deaths cold to be directly attributed to bad milk make one shudder der of what is going on. It appears like murder without intent. These conditions exist mostly in large cities where the milk is shipped from all countries for great distances. When a farmer sends off a can of milk he has no idea into what homes it finds its way. Some is likely to go to feed a tiny baby, some the very sick and some the enriched aged—all with weak digestion and low vitality, all depending on the milk to strengthen and build them up. The man who supplies a city or town milk trade should think of these things; should think of the lives he really holds in his keeping. The cow has little to answer for personally in regard to bad milk. There are but two things necessary to keep the milk pure and sweet. Keep the milk clean, then the bacterial content will be low. Quickly cool the milk and keep it cool, and the bacteria which are in it will cease to develop Pasteurization is recommended, but where the other two requirements are rigidly enforced it is not necessary. Bodles, pasteurized milk does not agree with every one. In some provinces and states there is legislation regarding the percentage of fat and total solids in milk. Vastly more important is it that a certain standard of purity be enforced. There is no more vital food problem than that of the milk supply. Some go so far as to say that dairy farms should be under municipal management just the same as the water system. Every detail of the milk trade would then be under special inspection, which should result in supplying pure milk and lowering the death rate among infants. Milk For Retail. The ideal method for preparing milk for retail is first, to have the milk on best quality. Take it to the milk room separate from the stable and immediately cool it to 45 degrees. Then bottle in sterilized bottles and seal the top with paraffinated paper caps. It should be shipped as soon as possible, either packed in ice or in refrigerator cars. Milk should reach the consumer no later than twenty four hours after it is drawn. When we see oysters, ice cream, etc. carried in paper pails the milk milk bottle may come into use in the next future. It certainly would do away with the dead of badly washed glass bottles. As bacteria lurk in the crevices of imperfectly cleaned vessels, all pails and cans in which milk is placed should be thoroughly cleaned and scalded. It is most important that there be no bld denocks and corners to the tiware Hilted scums and crevices are breeding places for the worst forms of germ life. A filtral use of solder renders the inside of pails, cans, dippers and strainers perfectly smooth and cleanable. Not until we get the consumer-roused to the importance of clean milk will conditions greatly improve. To most of them milk is milk, and that is the beginning and end of it. They should be concerned about its source. Are the cows healthy? Is the milk ing done in a cleanly manner? Is there any contagious disease among the attendants? These are questions about which the housewife should concert herself. When milk is guaranteed pure it usually commands a higher price. Extra precaution entails extra expense. The milk often becomes bad after it is received from the milkman because it is not properly cared for in the home. Too frequently the milk is put into jug or pail which has only been rinsed since being emptied of milk. All milk vessels must be scaled. Another bad practice is allowing the milk to stand on the kitchen table or in some other warm place. The milk should be covered and kept in a cool, clean place. It is a good plan to place a square of clean wet cotton over the milk pitcher. In warm weather, when souring is feared, it is a wise precaution to heat —If you answer any of these Add. please mention The PLANET. I to KS Degrees and quietly said I. Danger from disease germs also is averted by doing this. The sourcing of milk during a thunderstorm is due not to the thunder, but to the warm, sultry weather preceding the storm, making conditions favorable to the rapid growth of bacteria... Do not place a bowl or jug on the door step for the milkman to fill. The dust falling into it may be sufficient to spoil the milk. The Cream Trade Cream for retail should receive the same care as milk. Cream is generally sold by the quart or gallon and should be of a stipulated per cent of fat. Commercial or single cream usually contains from 20 to 25 per cent fat. Double cream 40 per cent. It takes three and one-third plums of 20 per cent cream to make a pound of butter. By comparing the price obtained for cream with that for butter, one can ascertain which is the better way of disposing of the cream. Practically speaking, 100 pounds of 4 per cent milk will make 20 pounds (two gallons) of 20 per cent cream. It is a crime to add the milk or cream any preservative. There are few, if any, that are not injurious, and many are really poisonous. Agents will sell a powder or solution which, if used to rinse the cann, will prevent the milk from souring. Surely such an argument should arouse suspicion. These so called remedies have been known to contain enough formidabledeyde (poison) to be dangerously harmful. The farmer may add a little preservative saying, "This pinch cannot do any harm." The wholesale man, not knowing what has already been done, adds his small portion, and the retail dealer, who runs the greatest risk of the milk souring, puts in an extra dose. No one is able to sum up the sad results. When ordinary milk does not sour under usual conditions within a reasonable time, there is something wrong. More attention is each year being given to the retail trade. Legislative sanitary inspection of the milk, cow and stables and the establishing of pure milk depots to supply milk for infants especially are lessening the evils. Milk produced under the best of conditions, cooled immediately and bottled has been kept sweet for eighteen days in the heat of summer. The milk was not pasteurized. Cleanliness and prompt cooling were the only preservatives. We can recommend no others. Milk Definitions. Standard milk is milk which conforms to certain requirements, which usually specify the minimum per cent of fat, and solids not fat, and sometimes the maximum number of bacteria per cubic centimeter allowable in milk offered for sale. The amounts required or permitted differ in different countries. Sanitary milk, guaranteed milk, are terms applied to milk produced under conditions necessary to secure a pure wholesome product. Certified milk is milk produced under ideal conditions—healthy cows, especially adapted sanitary stables, healthy clean milkers. The milk is bottled, sealed and shipped in refrigerator cars and certified to by a commission. Modified milk, or humanized milk, is milk containing definite proportions of fat, sugar, cassein, etc., put up usually TYPE OF MILKING STOOLA. according to the prescription of a physician, who indicates how much of these different constituents is required. Clarified milk is milk which has been run through a separator to remove some of the impurities. The skimmilk and cream are afterward mixed. Pasteurized milk or cream is milk or cream which has been heated below the boiling point, but sufficiently to kill most of the active organisms present and immediately cooled to 50 degrees or below. Pasteurizing temperatures range from 110 to 185 degrees. Sterilized milk is milk that has been heated to the temperature of boiling water (212 degrees) or higher for a length of time sufficient to kill all or gansms present. Condensed or evaporated milk is milk from which a considerable portion of water has been evaporated. The sweet end products contain a high percentage of cane sugar. Peptinated milk is milk to which some pepsin has been added, in order to make the milk more easily digested. Electrified milk is treated by a current of electricity for the purpose of destroying bacteria. Malted milk is milk that has been pasteurized to destroy the bacteria then partly condensed, and a small quantity of malt added. Milk powder is obtained by evaporating the moisture from whole milk, partly skimmed milk or skimmilk. The powder is used by confectioners, certain manufacturers, surveying parties and in such countries as the basin of the Yukon. Koumias is the product made by the alcoholic fermentation of milk caused by adding yeast and sugar to it. Thrown From Speeding Beat. While the speed boats Motor Bug and Chloeas Special were going at forty miles an hour off the inlet at Atlantic City, N. J., Arthur Booya, who was at the engine of the former boat, was caught in the flywheel and hurled into the water. In an attempt to reach him Captain Nichols Young, who was guiding the Motor Bug, narrowly escaped a collision with the Chloeas Special. Booya battled in the water for six minutes and was swirled about by cross currents in plain view of a throng on the shore before he was rescued in an exhausted coping. New York Tribune "Nothing like it ever happened before to any ship in the world." Such is the comment of Bear' Admiral Dutch I. Cone, chief of the bureau of steam engineering of the navy department, on the remarkable accident which befell the United States torpedo boat destroyer Warrington, which was struck by an unidentified lumber schobner at 1 o'clock in the morning when on her way from Charleston to Norfolk. More than twenty-five feet of the stern of the destroyer was sliced off in the collision, yet the little vessel survived, unaided, until the cruiser Salem came out from Norfolk and towed her to the drydock. The coolness and bravery of her crew saved the ship from sinking then and there. Water tight compartments were quickly closed and D. B. SCHAFFER SAW THE WATER RUSHING IN. the middle and forward portions of the vessel saved from being flooded with water. Six men were sleeping in the compartment torn open when the collision occurred. Thrown into a corner by the impact, upon this rude awakening they saw the black waters rushing in upon them and saw the sky above them where a moment before had been a steel deck. Two of the men clambered out over the rushing waters upon the jagged steel side and to the deck above. To this day they cannot remember how they accomplished this almost unbelievable feat. The other four escaped into the next compartment, but were unable to close the water tight door. With the scamen in that compartment they rushed into the next and succeeded in closing the door, thus saving the lives of all on board and the ship. With propeller shafts hopelessly bent the Warrington wallowed in the heavy soars while wireless calls for aid were sent out. The revenue cutter Onondaga was the first to respond, taking off the majority of the crew. The rest, with the officers, stuck to the ship until it was brought to the Norfolk yard by the Satem. Preliminary estimates placed the cost of repairing the damage at $50,000. The stern had to be entirely robust and new propellers and propeller shafts installed. THE ECONOMY, 316 North Third Street.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS. --- NTUMP CALLS COLONEL Roosevelt likely to Enter Field Within - Fortnight.—Needed in Primary Frays Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 11. - Within less than a fortnight Col. Roosevelt probably will begin the campaign trips which are to carry him into almost every Stage of the Union before the November election. Although he has not reached a final decision, he expects to leave Oyster Bay week after next. Kansas, Iowa and Michigan are tentatively on the pro-gram. He may also attend the Chicago convention of the new progressive party. The purpose of Col. Roosevelt's trip, if it is made, will be to tour States in which primaries will soon be held to nominate Republican presidential electors. "I've been asked to go to three States to take part in the primaries campaign," he said tonight. "I have not definitely made up my mind. Both the Roosevelt and Taft forces are going to make a fight at the primaries, and each of them has announced in advance that it will not abide by the result in case it is beaten. The fight will be to see which side will have to name its candidates for presidential electors by petition instead of having them on the Republican ticket. MAX START IN TEN DAYS "The primaries in these States will be held before long, and if I make the trip I shall leave in ten or twelve days." Col. Roosevelt is not eager to leave Sagamore Hill during the heat of mid summer. There is much to be done at home, however. In the way of superintending the organization of the third party and reducing to working basis his ideas in regard to economic and social reforms which he wishes to use in his campaign. With what he regards as the greatest fight of his life ahead, however, he has decided to put aside other consideration. If he deems it necessary, and begin his personal campaign this month. Col. Roosevelt today indicated that during his campaign he expects to speak to more persons than almost any other candidate in the history of the country. He says he will campaign in the South as vigorously as in the North. It is largely through this personal appeal that Col. Roosevelt hopes to carry the day. CALLS IT CRUSADERS FIGHT. "This is a crusader's fight," he said today. "I have sold men who offered to go with us that they should not do so unless the fire was burned into their souls." The former President said today that Frank Pettigrew, former United States senator from South Dakota and a Democrat, had come out for him. Former Senator Pettigrew came to Oyster Bay today to enlist under the Roosevelt battle flag. Mr. Pettigrew was a prominent figure at the Baltimore convention, and was described at the time as one of the leaders of the Champ Clark forces. "Mr. Pettigrew said he profoundly disapproved of Woodrow Wilson's nomination," said Col. Roosevelt "and that he believed half the Democrat of South Dakota would vote for me. He said he regarded Gov. Wilson as a reactionary, and that the Democratic platform meant noth- Former Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina also called on Col. Roosevelt. "He came here to announce," said the colonel, "that they would hold Republican primaries for presidential electors in North Carolina, and that he believed they were going to carry them for me 1 or 6 to 1. He said they were going to put the Roosevelt name on the Republican ticket for electors, and that there might be Democrats also who would run for election as Roosevelt electors. That would be all the better. In other words there will be a sort of union of the Republican and Democratic forces in some cases." CLAIMS. "HONEST ELECTORS." Replying to the charge that the new party is violating its precept, "Thou shalt not steal," by the announced intention of having Republican electors in certain States vote for him. Col. Robosevelt said: "No honest man who was put on as a Republican elector at the primaries last spring can fail to record his vote against Mr. Taft. "There is always something refreshing," he continued, "when a pick-pocket seeks to distract attention from himself by raising the cry, 'Stop thief!' with reference to the man whose pocket he has just picked. I have been immensely amused: by the upholders of the fraud of the Republican convention speaking about-stolen presidential electors. Mr. Taft is not the nominee of the rank and file of the Republican party; he is the fraudulent nominee of the Barnes-Penrose-Guggenheim machine which has nullified the wish of the great majority of the Republican party. If any elector named at the primaries last spring is to act honestly he must either vote for me or not run for elector at all. Mr. Taft is entitled to any elector nominated by Mr. Barnes, Mr. Penrose or Mr. Gaggenheim. He is not entitled to any elector nominated by the majority of the Republican in any primaries. It is a deargent act of dishonesty to ask any such elector to vote for Mr. Taft. NO INVESTIGATION.NEEDED. Col. Roosevelt was asked his opinion of the proposal of Senator Cum- mins for an investigation in Iowa of the circumstances under which President Taft was renominated. He said that he saw no necessity of such an investigation. "It doesn't need ten minutes' investigation to determine the facts in the case," he said. He referred to the action of the national committee in the California, Arizona, Washington and Texas contexts for seats in the national convention, saying that in all these cases it was self-evident that fraud had been committed. "The national committee acted on the theory," said he, "that the institution of the people into politics was an unwarranted importance." FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. Florence, S. C., July 11—Creehan are being sent out inviting the public generally to visit Cheraw, S. C. on July 26th to witness their annual "Meet" that brings together the largest gathering of people at any one place in either of the Carolinas. The old historic town of Cheraw is the "beauty spot." The people of Cheraw always show to strangers that they know how to get "wheat company comes." Cheraw enjoys great rail connections. The Seaboard main line running North and South, the Coast Line, East and West via Winston-Salem, Southbound to Cincinnati to Chicago, Ill. In the town of Cheraw are found some of the best people of the State of both races. The M. E. Church, Presbyterian and Baptist Churches are all doing good work. Rev. C. C. Scott at M. E. and Rev. I. W. Williams at the Baptist Church. The Baptist Church recently was blown down, but through the uniting effort of their pastor, Rev. I. W. Williams, D. D. and his whole congregation he has begun the rebuilding of a church to be second to none in this part of the State. Mrs. I. W. Williams is an excellent church worker that never tires. They are beloved by their flock. Strangers are always welcome at these religious bodies. Rev. Williams and family will attend the State Sunday School and B. P. U. Convention at Darlington on July 18th. This will be one of the most important gatherings in the Dee Dee section this year. Delegates from South Carolina and National representatives from the U. S. will be present. On Sunday, July 28th, the farmers patrons of the public school and public generally will meet at Central School House at 11 o'clock in the morning to be addressed by E. B. Webster of Florence, S. C. The Rev. Esau Kelly and Deacon Richardson of Florence, S. C. assisted in having the meeting around at this time. The Rev. Kelly is a great lover of Negro newspapers and reads his every week. He belongs to a family of people who lived in the N. E. part of Darlington county, who always lived at home and boarded at the same place. They owned a large tract of land. The older heads have long since crossed the river and gone but the "pass word" is still kept up by their children. We are glad to have the privilege of speaking to these, our old friends at Central School House on the 28th test. We will never forget such men as Brothren Perry Preston, Carolina, Hiram Capens, Diggs, Mumphrys, Bacus, Simmons, Joseph, Abraham Stims and others. They have the people's interest at heart. This is a great farming section and daily loads of tobacco can be seen coming to town. They always enjoy reading Negro literature. They have a fine public and Sunday school and are doing work for the Master that none expects to be ashamed of. Blackstockings Defeat Washington All Stars, Taking Three Games Out of Four.

An event has transpired in the South which promises great things for that section and the entire nation. Rutton 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 Flak University says: "I have heard so much of Wisdom's Call that I wish a copy of it. Send it to me." Bishop I. 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. Noon W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most widely known white lawyers, says: "* It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, choicest rhetoric and Christian ideas. Rev. Mr. 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 Negroes." You do yourself and the cause of humanity an injustice when you neglect or delay to - send for Wisdom's Call.
